 There are a number of tools and utilities that use RCS which may have

 but I suspect that all of them have already run across the CVSNT
 commitid and are handling it correctly.

Indeed, TortoiseCVS is designed specifically to work with a CVSNT
client.
And the configuration mechanism for ViewCVS allows for (actually I
believe that it defaults to this, 
if it detects that CVSNT is installed) using the RCS wrappers that are
part of CVSNT.

cvs abusing stderr?

2005-04-28 Thread Harald Dunkel
Hi folks,

Any special reason why cvs prints a list of

cvs server: Updating modulename

on stderr instead of stdout?

This is surely just a log message, which is supposed
to be printed on stdout. On a huge project the _real_
error messages are hidden between all the garbage.

It would be nice if this could be fixed.


Many thanx

Harri

I can't comment on why these messages go to stderr instead of stdout, but I
will mention that the global -q flag suppresses them. I use '-q' so much
it's in my .cvsrc file ;-)

I have seen -q and -Q, but I don't want to suppress these
messages completely. They should just not go to stderr.

Just to prevent an out-of-the-brain change: if they would we sent to stdout, 
this would break at least SmartCVS.
