This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
with the latest problems on cvs.netbeans.org the cvs actions sometimes keep running forever. that's IMHO a usability problem. in the same situation, smartcvs reports unaccessibility of server after a minute or two.
Command line CVS, our etalon, waits forever. User can cancel anytime. BTW are you sure that it's connected to server errors? There are few bugs in finishing progress at our side.
i'm pretty sure. when it was "processing", i've started smartcvs to do the job, but it repeatedly has thrown the connection error at me. the netbeans progress popup showed a message about reading 0 bytes or something..
