But, but...
I'm sure this was working under the 1.11.1.3 build we were using. No
"not supported" errors and there were conflicts that resulted in two
files like binary conflicts while keywords were still being updated in
the files.
Weird.
So the answer is "it can't do that now" and probably wasn't doing it
right before and we got lucky.
Since this is the case, could the default cvswrappers file that is
placed into new repository's CVSROOT directory get updated? A new
2.0.11 cvswrappers file claims -m, -t, -f and -k are all supported which
is highly misleading. I appears like only -k is actually supported in
CVSNT...
Thanks for the quick response Tony,
