[cvsnt] cvs release -d -y not working...

[Jurko Gospodnetiæ]

  Hi all.

  [Using CVSNT 2.5.03 build 2382 on both server and client. Server
running on Win2003 and client running on WinXP SP2, both with full
updates applied.]

  Just wanted to report a possible tiny bug.

  If you want to release a module and do
'cvs release -d module' CVSNT asks you whether you
want to release and delete that module and if you say 'y'
it does its work.

  But if you try to specify the -y option then it seems to
enter 'y' as the answer to the previous question but also
says that release has been aborted by user chice.

  Here's a complete command line cvs session transcript:

--->As you can see the folder module did not get deleted.

--->I entered 'y' interactively in the following command.
--->Similar effect may be achieved by running a
       'echo y | cvs release -d folder' command.

C:\Documents and Settings\Jurko\Desktop\a>cvs release -d folder
Are you sure you want to release (and delete) directory 'folder': y

--->Now the folder module did get deleted as expected.
