admin -l has been depreciated for a year or two now...  edit -c/commit 
-c replaced them.

edit -x is basically a mandatory version of edit -c.  Try 2.0.55, which 
shouldn't crash (as it's a release candidate... I've got the known bugs 
out I think).

One caveat to this is older cliends don't check for exclusivity, so if 
on a 2.0.55 you do an edit -x, on a cvshome.org client you could do an 
edit, and the server would refuse it but the client isn't smart enough 
to know how to handle that....  Not much I can do about that unfortunately.
