Hello Experts, I'm viewing a CVS controlled file inside Emacs and I want to look at the earlier version by: C-x v ~ , then the version number, but it failed: ad-Orig-error: Running cvs -Q update -r1.4 -p Example.cc...FAILED (status 1) I tested the command in the terminal: cvs -Q update -r1.4 -p Example.cc It poped-up for password, and after I entered, it is OK. Now the question is why the Emacs in the first place didn't ask me the password and just failed? Thanks! Xin
