[cvsnt] CVSNT 2.5.01 #1976 - 'cvs history' problems - 'No records selected'

[Thomas Singer]

Hi Tony,

Well, the same history command in CVSNT 2.0.58d and GNU CVS 1.12.9 worked 
without problem. Only the tried CVSNT 2.5.01 #1976 seems to have problems. 
Hence I would rate it a bug.

Is audit a core feature of CVSNT and GNU CVS?

Hm, well, I just created it with zero size. It is filled by CVSNT.

Sounds like 1976 is history - I've downloaded it a few days ago. 
Independently of this, how can I help you to solve this problem. SmartCVS' 
advanced features rely on 'cvs history' to fast get notified about changed 
files.
