We are running cvsnt 1.11.3 (Build 57j) on our client's and server. The server is on a Window's 2000 server that is also a domain controller. We access the cvs server using pserver. The problem we are having is that we keep receiving 'invalid change text' errors in different files in our repository. At first the way I would correct the error was to, remove and recreate the repository. The second way I fixed it was to remove the file from cvs, then update the clients, then re-add the file and finally re-update the clients. Now I am realizing that the error usually just happens on one client (different client each time) to start with, and then sometime within the next 12 hours the error seems to be propagated to the other clients. So what I have been doing, is just re-checking out that source from cvs for that client, and this seems to work. The problem is now occurring just about every day, where when it started about 1.5 months ago it was only every couple of day's. I have tried to determine if the repository was really corrupt, but have not been able to determine such. Looking @ the ,v files they look ok, but I have noticed that usually just before the error occurs that if you dif the file, it show the entire file as a change, not just the few lines that actually changed. I saw that there were some messages about this a month ago, but it did not seem to be a resolution. Let me know if there is any other information that would aid in figuring out why this happens.
