[cvsnt] problems with diff

[Paul St. John]

Tony,

Thanks for the quick reply.  Some questions:

1) do you think the original error:
"[diff aborted]: end of file from server"
is related to the second error:
"invalid change text"?

I was actually investigating the first (aborted error) and 
encountered the second (invalid error) just before posting
my question.  I received the "invalid" error after committing 
a harmless change to a file exhibiting the "aborted" error
to try and help characterize the behaviour.  I have seen
the many messages on the NAV/cvsnt conflict.  I am running 
AVG 6.0.445 on both the server and client.  I have a remote
user that is running Norton but the file started manifesting the
"invalid change text" error after _I_ checked in.

The permissions on the temp directory are "Everyone - Full control"

Thoughts?

2)  Can I somehow fix the ,v files?  I have looked at a ,v file that
is exhibiting the problem side-by-side with one that isn't but can't
see and real difference (didn't use a hex viewer which might show 
something different...)

3)  The Nav conflict is one that is much talked about but all the 
info is spread across many messages.  Is the a synopsis of the all
the known details re: this issue?

4)  What are your thoughts behind the comment "don't use anything
earlier than Build 65"?  Isn't Build 62 just a few months old?

TIA,
-Paul.

There are two known causes for this:

1. An odd combination of permissions on the temp directory caused the
commit to fail. This was fixed in build 65 (it's rare, as most people
wouldn't set their temp directory in this way).

2. Realtime File Protection on NAV.  This must be disabled for any
directories that the cvsnt server touches.

Don't use anything earlier than build 65 on the server side especially
if you're already experiencing problems.
