[cvsnt] Re: migrated physical servers --> lost versions?

[Joelle Tegwen]

I found it. It was an eclipse problem. Well, rather, it was a problem in 
that I didn't know how to make eclipse check for versions properly. It's 
quite different than WinCVS.

I had done what you said, so I figured it had to be on the eclipse side.

Thanks
