Note this problem is on the client, not the server. Always use a client that is native to the host you are doing your editing on! Never share directories between different OS's, do a full checkout on the host/OS you are doing the editing on, as some OS's will not use the same line endings. > The problem > is that the DOS EOL at the end of the path in CVS/Repository is interpreted > as part of the path.
