Ah, so this is a new repository. From our previous discussions I was 
under the impression that you were moving an existing local repository 
to a server... or are you? You should not have had to initialize it if 
you were...

The CVSROOT as such has not changed, nor has its format. It's just the 
way it's handled at the server that has changed (i.e. full alias instead 
of prefix masking). This seemed to cause some problems when upgrading 
(Tony warned about that in the release announcement though) as the old 
registry settings were not always (never?) translated correctly to the 
new method. AFAICT, 2.0.45 still has problems there. As I mentioned, the 
repositories keep vanishing from the control panel applet even though I 
could access them fine (that's why I only noticed just now when I wanted 
to verify my reply). Tony appears to be working on this (see yesterday's 
thread "CVSNT control panel: Repositories disappear". It does not appear 
to be fixed yet as I wrote earlier, though. I obviously confused that 
with another issue.

Hmmm, no idea. Sounds all okay really unless I've missed something. cvs 
ls should at least have returned the obligatory CVSROOT module... Tony?
