This looks like an error from the underlying copy of cvs. Does gCVS included a built-in CVS client, or is it using the system cvs binary? Is it getting the right cvs binary? There are several sub-command which my cvs man page says take a -c: cvs history (it means report on each time commit was used) cvs rdiff (explicitly specifying the default) Does CVS work properly if you use the command line directly?
