I've seen a few messages in the list archives about using scripts to filter taginfo and people end up getting error messages stating "Argument list too long." But for the life of me I can't find an email or discussion in the archives that gives a solution (might just be me though).
We have created a project recently that is pretty huge (about 14,000 files). When someone tags a file and I create a new "build" so to speak I issue the following command: cvs -q -d <cvs_pserver_root> rtag -r p20020315 b01-20020311 <project_name> That works fine, then I copy the previous build over to the new build after adding the tagged files to the new build using this command: cvs -q -d <cvs_pserver_root> rtag -r b02-20020306 b01-20020311 <project_name> After it processes the files for a little bit I get the following error: cvs server: cannot exec /ESCOUT/cvs_admin/bin/tag_email.pl: Argument list too long cvs server: Pre-tag check failed cvs [server aborted]: correct the above errors first! >From what I could find in my research, it's a result of cvs appending all of the fileinfo pertaining to file and revision stuff to the end of the command line and it gets too large. But I couldn't find where someone actually did a workaround or came up with fix for that problem. If this has already been discussed before and I couldn't find the relevant info, I sincerely apologize. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
