Great work!  Really very well done.

> * Testing, testing, testing

Is this client and server?  Which databases have you configured (eg: just 
sqlite, or did you get postgres running?).  Any chance you were able to 
find/run the automated tests?

Here is the testing list that Glen is currently working through on windows 
if it is any help (some of it is windows specific)...
* sspi protocol only (hereafter referred to as "remote")
* run all tests as administrator first, then later as a non-priveleged user 
of  your choice)
* remote import
* checkout ascii/binary/mix of ascii/binary
* add/commit ascii/binary/mix of...
* test "cvswrappers" with "add/commit"
* modify/commit ascii/bin/ary/mix of...
* add/commit utf8/unicode
* modify/commit utf8/unicode
* cvs rtag -b (branch) -- note this is very different to "tag" now, so early 
in testing don't try and mix tag's and rtag's
* modify/commit on trunk followed by merge on branch (mergepoint merge)
* modify/commit on branch followed by merge on trunk (mergepoint merge)
* add/commit on trunk followed by merge on branch (mergepoint merge)
* add/commit on branch followed by merge on trunk (mergepoint merge)
* modify/commit -B on trunk followed by merge on branch (-b mergepoint 
merge) -- for this to produce any reliable results you'll have to commit 
several different bug numbers producing several revisions, then try and 
merge just one of them...
* add -b/commit -B on trunk followed by merge on branch (-b mergepoint 
merge) -- for this to produce any reliable results you'll have to add/commit 
several different files using several different bug numbers producing 
several revisions, then try and merge just one of them...
* commit with bug id -B
* edit
* edit with bug id -b, followed by commit with bug id -b
* test previously known unicode bugs (4623,4729,4734,4776), reuse the same 
tests sets where possible
* test chacl etc

Regards,



Arthur
