[cvsnt] problems with merging.

[Adam Shand]

I'm running build 68 of CVS-NT.  When one of our developers trys to do a 
largish merge wincvs just hangs forever.  He never gets any error 
messages it just sits there (we've left it for about 20 minutes, the 
equivelent operation on the unix CVS server it takes a few seconds).

I'm stuck here.  The operation never seems to make it to the 
repositories history file.  Nothing shows up in the event log and I 
don't know how to trouble shoot this.

It's possible that I did something stupid in the process of setting up 
the CVS-NT service but I followed the instructions fairly carefully and 
I don't think I missed anything.  Other then occasional locking issues 
everything is working fine (hopefully the config file change to use the 
lockserver will solve that).

Possible strangeness

We are using nested repositories.  The main repository that employees 
access is /cvsroot/foo, underneath that there is a repository per 
customer which they log into (ie. /cvsroot/foo/comp1, 
/cvsroot/foo/comp2).  I did this so that employees could log in once and 
get access to everything, yet I could use file permissions so that comp1 
can't see that comp2 exists.

Any help would be much appreciated, our developers are freaking out.

Adam.
