I switched from CVSNT 1.11.1.3 b57j to Daily 68 today.
I committed a test file just fine, except that now ViewCvs won't touch
this file.
If I click a file that I have not yet committed changes to all is well
and the file displays and I can diff it etc. But if I do the same on
this newly committed file ViewCvs throws an error and displays this:
Exception
Python Messages:
Traceback (most recent call last):

return s.rfind(*args)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind'
I looked into the RCS file and there was new stuff in each revision
description, three new lines like these:
permissions 666;
commitid 1ec3e2f12c87eee;
kopt kv;
If I removed them ViewCvs starts working again.
Is there anyone with any ideas on why it happened and how to solve
this? Is it only present in the Daily Snapshot or is this something
permanent?
