cvs inserting double ^M
Hi, I've looked for this problem in the archives but haven't found the exact match. A member of our development team, Joe, is using CVS version 1.11 client/server. When others do a cvs update to get cvs commits from Joe, the files in question show up with inserted double control Ms (^M^M) at the end of each line. The culprit appears to be the particular version of cvs that Joe uses. The only difference that we find between his version and the rest of the team is that his is the server version (we all use GNU CVS for Win2K 1.11). Could someone tell me why this is occurring and/or how to avoid it? If there is some existing documentation in this regard that would help, too. #Joe uses this version of GNU CVS on Win2K: C:\cygwin\bincvs version Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client/server) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client/server) #other members use this version on Win2K: C:\DirectoryBuildTools\bincvs version Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client/server) Thanks for any input, Mark ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

I suspect that the client vs. client/server is a red herring. If I understand the distinction, it should have no bearing on newline conversion. Perhaps Joe has a .cvsrc (or the Windows equivalent) that forces all commits to -kb. That would be one explanation for this behaviour. BTW, 1.11 is ancient -- many bugs have been fixed since then. All of you (not just Joe) should consider upgrading to 1.11.5. -- | | /\ |-_|/ Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | / A distributed system is one on which I cannot get any work done, because a machine I have never heard of has crashed. - Leslie Lamport ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
