"unrecognized request `Case'"

"unrecognized request `Case'"

[Juanma Barranquero]

Since yesterday, all my attempts to update (read-write access) or
checkout (anonymous access) from CVS HEAD fail with the following
message:

  unrecognized request `Case'

Is someone else having problems, or did my setup suddenly got corrupt?

                                                           /L/e/k/t/u

Weird.  I've not recently updated my cvs or ssh executables, and it's
not a problem with the working copy being corrupt because a fresh

 cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs

gets the very same error.

Any idea, anyone?

Weirder and weirder.  Another savannah user, also on Windows, had the
same problem:

https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?func=detailitem&item_id=103123

and the trouble for him was caused by the cvs.exe included in
TortoiseCVS, which is CVSNT, the same client I'm using.  However, I'm
sure I didn't update CVSNT, and I don't have TortoiseCVS...

Anyway, it seems it is really a problem on my side, so sorry for the
noise.

Checkout works fine for me under GNU/Linux (Debian Woody).
But under Windows XP, when I try checkout with TortoiseCVS, I get 
"unrecognized request `Case'". And I haven't changed anything under 
Windows XP since checkout did work.

I know for a fact that I didn't change anything either.  I was using
CVSNT 2.0.41a, which was, according to the ChangeLog, a "Special release
to enable access to new sourceforge.net servers."

So I'd say the SF.net people must be doing something weird with their
CVS servers. Perhaps they've done some upgrading that breaks CVSNT
somehow (CVSNT is what TortoiseCVS uses).

Fortunately, I have also the Cygwin CVS exe installed; I'll use that
till the problem is solved.

Thanks,

I'm more sleepy that I thought.  The *savannah* people.
