2010-03-11 08:31 AEST by Arthur Barrett - cvs editors: does not support filenames with quotes - found in 2.8.01, but likely in 2.5.03 as well.

There is some bad output from the cvs editors command (don't think I had
tried this before, but I'm not sure).  I'm not sure what's going on, but
I suspect it is because of the apostrophe in the file name:

C:\Documents and Settings\A User\My Documents\stuff>cvs editors
"testin'bin.xls"

testin'bin.xls  testin'bin.xls
        testin'stuff.txt

C:\Documents and Settings\A User\My Documents\stuff>cvs editors
"testin'stuff.tx
t"
testin'stuff.txt        testin'stuff.txt

C:\Documents and Settings\A User\My Documents\stuff>cvs editors
MoreStuff\fruits
.xls

C:\Documents and Settings\A User\My Documents\stuff>

Note that the "normal" name XLS file didn't have that problem.  The repo
CVS\filattr.xml file is basically empty (just a entry for the owner).

2010-03-11 09:01 AEST by Glen Starrett - Just checked 2.5.03 3618, and it doesn't happen there.  

Imported the same sample directory with Suite Studio (slightly different
behavior -- this isn't imported with the local cvs control files added like the
wizard does).  

Got different result:  The editors command didn't show any false output at
first, but the output isn't what it should be when you do edit it (the name is
twice, instead of name then username), and it got more than it should.

Also note that the commit command didn't take just the one file like it should
-- it got all files when I tried to just commit the one with an apostrophe.

Fileattr from 2.5.03 version

Not sure on what state this is -- looks like both files edited, but I only told
it to edit one.  I suppose that could be part of the bug -- grabbing too many/ 
wrong files.
