Dear CVS authors,
I discovered a problem in the latest CVS release and hope that you are
able to fix it. When accessing the CVS server, our developers use the
CVSROOT "machine.name:/home/cvs". But actually this is a softlink to
"/usr/local/home/cvs", because the root-filesystem is not big enough
to hold all home directories.
Apparently CVS resolves the paths of the repository to the canonic
representation. Thus the assertion
| lock.c:177: failed assertion `strncmp (repository,
| CVSroot_directory, strlen (CVSroot_directory)) == 0'
fails. I didn't check the source code, but I am sure that this problem
exists in other source files, too.
