I tried it using only a touched file, a text file with unix line endings and a text file with dos line endings... :/ Cat you send the output of `cygcheck -svr' as a non-compressed plain-text attachment to the list please :::::::::::-) > 03-02-06:15:51:14:/cygdrive/c/TIACore=> ci -mMyMessage foo.txt > RCS/foo.txt,v <-- foo.txt > > <hangs here forever, until I ctrl-C out if it, at which point it > says "cleaning up" etc.> > > Not that I am using an "RCS" subdirectory for storing my comma-v files > (or I would *like* to, if any of this worked) but that does not seem > to matter.
