Two problems with M-x cvs-examine

Two problems with M-x cvs-examine

[Kim F. Storm]

I have noticed a few problems with pcl-cvs lately:


1) cvs-examine fails:

I have this in ~/.cvsrc:

  cvs -z6

When I run cvs-examine on emacs repository, I get this result:

Repository : xxxxxxxxxxxx@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs
Module     : emacs
Working dir: ~/gnu/emacs/

Message: cvs [update aborted]: reading from server: Input/output error
Message: cvs update: inflate: unknown compression method

The command run is:

-- Running cvs -f -z6 -n update -d -P ...



Running cvs-update in the same directory works ok; the command run is

-- Running cvs -f -z6 update -d -P ...


Maybe -z6 -n is interpreted as one argument like -z"6 -n" ??



2) cvs-examine complains about -l option:

If I remove that line from ~/.cvsrc (so it is empty), and runs
cvs-examine, it completes, but this message is shown:


In directory .:
Message: cvs server: WARNING: global `-l' option ignored.

The command run is:

-- Running cvs -f -n update -d -P ...

I think you mean CVS.  AFAIK these problems are unrelated tothe PCL- part.
And yes, I see the "unknown compression method" thingy as well.
I guess it should be reported to savannah-hackers (or is there
a subversions-hackers?).

Updating my local cvs to 1.11.17 solved the problem.
