Users find it very difficult to distinguish problems with WinCVS and the CVS server.
About 50% of the messages to the cvsnt mailing list are WinCVS/tkcvs/jcvs related,
another 45%
cvs 'core' related (usually because someone hasn't RTFM'd), and the remaining 5% are
genuine cvsnt things. I actually don't mind this (because it's a mailing list if I
don't
answer someone else will usually do it for me) and it's far better than they email me
directly
(down to two or three a week which often end up in /dev/null).
You have to decide whether you really want to support *all* cvs products, because the
messages you
get won't always be WinCVS specific... If you're very busy, you might be better off
allowing people to
keep posting to info-cvs.
