2012-05-31 13:39 AEST by Arthur Barrett - I wasn't able to commit (branch CVSNT_BRANCH_2_5_03_2382) after doing a merge 
(CVSNT_BRANCH_2_8_01_3761) using build cvsnt-2.8.02.4538.  Also tried with 
2.5.03.7966

D:\march-hare\certs>cvs ver
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 7966 (client/s
erver)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.8.02 (Cally) Build 3922 (RC 1) (cli
ent/server)


On commit it just kept hanging.  I tried:
* restart server processes
* retry on client
* client trace

The actual upload of files appears to be complete...

It always 'hangs' on the same point:

2012-05-31 13:48 AEST by Arthur Barrett - When the sync master is unavailable the client is never notified because the 
sync client (cache server) successfully fulfills most requests (merge, update, 
diff etc.).

When the commit fails to contact the host server, cache server should either 
time out with some meaningful message, or give some other feedback as to the 
cause of the 'hang'.
