Hi, Server: i386 Linux RedHat 7.3, cvs 2.12.10 Client: i386 Windows XP SP1 or SP2, cvs.exe 2.12.11 or 2.12.9 or 2.12.10 or 2.11.2. CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/users/000_600/cvs_repository
Priority: not really high ------------------- I type: cvs co -l -d G:\temp\workspace . This works fine on Windows NT/XP with the CVSNT - Client "cvs.exe" from CVSNT version 2.0.51d and CVSNT version 2.0.58d. But this works fine on Linux with cvs 1.12.10 ( server and client ). But this does not work neither with the cvs.exe 1.12.9, nor 1.12.10, nor 1.12.11, nor 1.11.20 (downloaded from https://ccvs.cvshome.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=83&expandFold er=83&folderID=80 ), nor with the Linux client cvs 1.12.10 (of course with a Unix-path like "cvs co -l -d /tmp/workspace" ). I found Issue 217 ( https://ccvs.cvshome.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=217 ), but this is a joke, is'nt it ? The bug is not in the documentation, but in the behaviour of the cvs client ! I cannot see a reason, that one cannot provide an absolute path with the -d option. Therefore it is clearly a bug. (Even if it can easily be worked around ...). P.S.: please do not distribute my Email address on the web.
