This leads me to three questions: Hmmm... I though I had been very careful to explain that it is a complement to VC and a replacement only to VC-dired. > 2.

No. There's a clear understanding that some kind of merging would be great, but the two codes are very different and work very differently, so I don't know of any actual plan to merge them. They interact well enough for my purposes right now. > Repository : :server:user@hostname:/no/place/like/home/cvs What is this :server: access method ?

Hmm... That's strange! Can you shows us the ` *cvs-tmp*' buffer right after the command terminates (note the leading space in the buffer name) ? > $ cvs tag dumbcvs1 > ...then viewing the tag tree for file.txt shows that tagging > via the bash prompt works... Can you try `cvs -f tag dumbcvs2 .' to make it even more like what Emacs runs ? Are you sure bash and Emacs run the same `cvs' executable ? Stefan
