OK, more update - apparently our CVS database has been corrupted for a while.
The script that was sent to me verifies that. So 1.11.2 adding a branch seems to put it over the edge, whereas 1.11 doesn't (why, I don't know). So it's possible there's nothing wrong with 1.11.2. I'll do some more experiments and report back later on. -Mike *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 9/19/2002 at 11:36 AM [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Mike Quinn writes: >> >> I ran my own script and checked out 100 different branches and it worked >fine before >> adding the branch, and breaks big-time afterwards. > >It certainly sounds like your CVS 1.11.2 is broken -- did you build it >yourself or did you get an executable from somewhere?
