[cvsnt] cvs [server aborted]: tag '1.1' must start with a letter

[Thomas Bergmann]

Hi,

I have some trouble with the new cvs server/client.

>cvs -v
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1976
(client/server)
CVSNT version (May 23 2005) Copyright (c) 1999-2005

...

after update a directory to a numeric revision (1.1 to get all files
including removed files)
>cvs update -P -r 1.1 (in directory T:\Build\Content\NumericVersion\)

I can't call cvs update|status|log with any file in the directory. After
that I can only remove
the directory and parent of this to get the cvs running. I understand, that
there is no possibility to
add or commit files to this directory, but update should work.

here some errors:

>cvs update -P -A -d (in directory T:\Build\Content\NumericVersion\)
cvs.exe [update aborted]: writing to server socket: error -1

>cvs update -P (in directory T:\Build\Content\NumericVersion\SubDirectory\)
cvs [server aborted]: tag '1.1' must start with a letter
cvs.exe [update aborted]: reading from server: error -1

>cvs update -P -A -- anyfile.html (in directory
T:\Build\Content\NumericVersion\SubDirectory\)
cvs [server aborted]: tag '1.1' must start with a letter

Additionally, there is no difference between protocols (pserver|sserver) and
server os (linux|w2k).


At our old server on w2k the problem doesnt appear:
>cvs -v
