Hi Tony, Remember me, the other guy with those 'invalid change text' errors :-S I got some more info on them. I found out it's a client issue. Even if the server is not using NAV, but the client is, the problems still occur. Unfortunately, most users install their own cvs.exe (from wincvs/tortoise/whatever) so there's not much that can be done about that (anything like the warning in the CVSNT setup). However, seeing as the server apparently DOES write this invalid change text, there should be more that can be done about it, at the server side. For example, a client suddenly committing an empty file would be very suspicious.... Anyway, we completely removed NAV from out CVS server, but not all programmers have disabled the 'protection' on the local cvs dirs. And, a file that one of them was working on just got corrupted... WHAT exactly do you think is going on? Is it comparable to 'committing an empty file'? Why would the server except something that caused it to write invalid change text? L.
