2025-01-08 09:37 AEST by Arthur Barrett - A sandbox may contain directories from multiple repositories

Any CVSNT command that connects to the server, could fail, but which server and which sub-directory is not 
clear from the error message:

cvs server: Updating install/ud5_msi
cvs server: Updating install/ud5_msi/exports
FATAL ERROR: Network error: Connection timed out
Couldn't connect to remote server - plink errorcvs [update aborted]: Connection to server failed


├───ud5_msi          (repository 1: :ssh:cvssrv.local:/myrepo )
│   ├───3GL          (repository 1: :ssh:cvssrv.local:/myrepo )
│   │   └───sources  (repository 1: :ssh:cvssrv.local:/myrepo )
│   ├───exports      (repository 1: :ssh:cvssrv.local:/myrepo )
│   │   ├───Binary   (repository 2: :pserver:cvsold.local:/oldrepo )
│   │   └───Icon     (repository 2: :pserver:cvsold.local:/oldrepo )
│   ├───help         (repository 1: :ssh:cvssrv.local:/myrepo )
│   │   ├───html     (repository 1: :ssh:cvssrv.local:/myrepo )
│   │   ├───images   (repository 1: :ssh:cvssrv.local:/myrepo )

In this case the error comes from cvs server: Updating install/ud5_msi/exports/Binary

So the error message should be:

cvs server: Updating install/ud5_msi
cvs server: Updating install/ud5_msi/exports
cvs: fail remote  :pserver:cvsold.local:/oldrepo
cvs: fail directory install/ud5_msi/exports/Binary
FATAL ERROR: Network error: Connection timed out
Couldn't connect to remote server - plink errorcvs [update aborted]: Connection to server failed


See bug 7718 "diagnostics on current parsed root/working directory in main loop" for more info - it is much 
more difficult than it first appears.
