Does this mean I can only get HEAD and new branches from it? I just tried to get the xf-4_3-branch and it has the same problem as the xf-4_3_0_1 tag.

I just did this:
========================================================================
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/x-devel/4.3
$ export [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/x-devel/4.3
$ export CVS_RSH=ssh

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/x-devel/4.3
$ cvs -z3 checkout -r xf-4_3-branch xc > cvs-checkout.log 2>&1


I got:
========================================================================
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/hp
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/keytronic
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/kinesis
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/macintosh
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/microsoft
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/nec
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/northgate
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/pc
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/sony
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/sun
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/winbook
cvs [checkout aborted]: could not chdir to xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/HP: Not a directory



Does that mean that xf-4_3-branch will never work for Cygwin and that there is nothing we can do to ever fix this?


If so, that is really a bummer.

Harold
