Description sapex 2001-05-18 07:58:51 UTC 
Some commands work (diff) but most don't (log, commit...)
This is perhaps the same problem as described in bug #11547.
System is NT 4 (cvs server on HP-UX).
cvs.exe client on NT is version 1.9

Here is the error:

Command Log failed.
Check the full output of the command on the Runtime tab in Explorer. The error 
output follows:
cvs [server aborted]: no such directory `com/profor/sapex/saxdb/gui'

Also I have the following exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Does it mean, that you use cvs from CygWin distribution ? Or a native Windows
executable ?
If you use cvs from CygWin, can you please try cvs.exe for Windows from
www.cvshome.org ? (We recommend 1.11 or 1.11.1p1 version)
Thanks.
Comment 2 sapex 2001-05-23 08:25:11 UTC 
You're right. I've tried with cvs.exe from cvshome.org
and now it seems to work.
Before that, we used a cvs.exe built from FSF source code,
version 1.9, and it had always worked until NB 3.2.
Perhaps you use parameters that don't exist in cvs 1.9?
The supported cvs version should be noted somewhere.
Thanks!
Comment 3 Jiri Kovalsky 2001-05-23 08:58:39 UTC 
Resolving as INVALID. Anyway you are right that this information should be 
provided as it is in Release Notes file of Forte for Java. I'll try to mention 
it next time.
Comment 4 Jiri Kovalsky 2001-06-11 15:26:52 UTC 
Yes, I agree with myself, it is really invalid. Verified.
