We got an entry into the WinCvs Bugzilla about entering
CVSROOT:
>>>>
Setup: WinCVS in a client/server model using
pserver.
If you have a trailing space in the dialog box for the CVSROOT, the system will not allow the user to log on. The WinCVS program should trim unnecessary white space on the CVSROOT variable before sending to to the server. <<<<
I am not quite sure if that's a bug. IMHO GUI (WinCvs) should
not be "too smart" in that case - we don't know what characters are legal for
CVSROOT on the server side. Let CVS resolve the error if error
happens.
However I agree that some indication would be helpfull when
the login fails because of white spaces. Thus at the moment I think the
following:
1. Give the warning when entering the CVSROOT. 2. Display CVSROOT at the login time in the brackets so the white spaces would be visible. like this(see the spaces!): cvs login (Logging in to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot ) cvs login: authorization failed: server devnet.3d.com rejected access *****CVS exited normally with code 1***** 3. Assume that 'user is always right' and don't do anything.4. Really trim white spaces, and maybe other special characters (like '*' or '?'). 5. ???
I would like to know your opinion on that topic: To trim or
not to trim?
