2024-07-10 08:03 AEST by CVS Support - If the server cannot copy or rename a file we give the big warning:


** THIS ERROR SHOULD NEVER OCCUR - ALWAYS REPORT IT TO:
**                          support@march-hare.com
**   SERVER CVSNT 2.8.01 (Soolin) Build 8891
**


I propose that on the server only that we include the owner and ACL's of the 
source and destination files.  This obviously would be specific to windows.


Detect this is server by the verb, eg:
** Command verb     =server
** Server verb      =update


The error the user sees is:
cvs server: 0x5 Access is denied.
 
cvs [server aborted]: [09:47:23] cannot rename file /aaa/zzz/CVS/fileattr.bkp to 
/aaa/zzz/CVS/fileattr.xml: Permission denied
 

The change would appear in this section:


** Information about the file:
** Is From Net      =no
** Filesystem From  =NTFS(Storage)max:255,read-write,uncomp,tx,usn 
[8,512,339438304,544799999]

** Generic Read From=6870 Bytes
** From Attributes  =file,uncomp,unenc,visible
** From More Attribs=online,rw,nosys,notemp
** Is To Net        =no

or in this section:

** Attempt to delete/move file using the Shell:
** Delete file using the Shell was unsuccessful 0x78.
** Renamed file /aaa/zzz/CVS/fileattr.xml to
