We have just upgraded to 1.11.23 from at least a few patchlevels earlier, and have noticed started receiving lock errors (on CVSROOT/.#cvs.history... or something close to that) for users not in the administrative group. We keep our CVSROOT/ group-protected, and it looks to me like the method of writing to the history files has changed.
Is there any way to keep the same admin-file protection without disabling history or opening up permissions, and without running too ancient of a version?
