[cvsnt] Re: What is a repository prefix?

[Steve Forsyth]

In defense of cvsnt and Eclipse... I was able to get it to work with very 
little trouble.

First of all, just like the error message says... don't use a prefix... if 
you don't know what a prefix is... it was explained in the installation 
instructions. When you set up a repository... you have the option of using a 
prefix so that you don't have to put the whole path in your cvs client. 
DON'T use a prefix, uncheck the box in the cvsnt admin tool and use the 
whole path to your repository.

Second, you will want to check the box in the cvsnt admin tool that says 
something about "act like a unix server" (or something like that) cause some 
dumb-ass who probably doesn't like Windows programs decided to hard code 
stuff in Eclipse to not work with cvsnt... probably jealous that a windows 
program that started as a ?nix program has now become a more robust product 
than the ?nix flavor. Sad but seems to be true. Anyway, thats it... if your 
having other problems then you are probably not using the correct settings 
or protocol.
