[cvsnt] Upgrade from CVSNT 2.0.51d to CVSNT 2.5.03 2382 - InvalidRCS Flags

[Sean Bertinotti]

Hi Arthur,

I have installed 2.5.04 (3055) and I still get the same problem. Is 
there not something that I could run that would check all the flags for 
me. Why does it not tell me what flags are offending ? How do you 
normally fix offending RCS flags?

Is it better for me to run 2.5.03 or 2.5.04, now that I'm upgrading ?

I think if I cannot resolve this soon I will have to concede to losing 
all my history and re-adding all my modules so that we are running the 
latest version of CVS. Then on a virtual machine I will install the old 
CVS 2.0.51d and if anybody needs older history they can get it from that 
machine. Not ideal but the gears must turn.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Sean B
