[cvsnt] Re: Changing server to Unicode

[Clovis Garcia]

It seems to be a problem at the modules2 commit. I used a trick that 
worked for me. I took the my modules2 text and forced a new commit 
putting it as a comment. Then I opened the modules2,v file, extracted 
the comments (the accent characters have changed due unicode 
translation) and replaced my modules2 text. So I commited it and it worked.

I did that just to let me work with unchanged directory structure but I 
see that like the comments are translated so the admin files should be.

About the files already imported that are actually with comments and 
Filename property wrong, I think a tool should be provide to translate 
it or the CVSNT should detect that it is handling with non-Unicode 
modules and translating it appropriately.

Tony, is there a better way to do that?


Thanks in advance,
Clóvis Garcia
