cvsnt [server aborted]: unexpected EOF reading RCS file /usr/local/cvs/cvsnt/cvsapi/cvs_string.h,v

Since there is no -i specified in the CVSROOT/modules the -n flag should not change the server 
processing at all.



Check that -n is ignored if there is no -i in modules.

2011-02-25 13:37 AEST by Arthur Barrett - Previous explanation incorrect - this was "cvs -n ci".

We know already that this isn't really supported - but what should we do about it?  

Should we just return a generic "deprecated option"?

2011-02-26 02:01 AEST by Glen Starrett - Note that the global option "-n" doesn't appear in the "--help-options"
information, but does appear in the general "--help" as an example option.  See
below:

C:\Users\Glen Starrett\Documents>cvs --help

    (specify --help-commands for a list of commands
     or --help-synonyms for a list of command synonyms)
  where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command
    (specify -H followed by a command name for command-specific help)
  Specify --help to receive this message
