> There are no places where the full path is returned, though.
I guess that's what they mean... If this is the case (the full path is
returned), there is
no foolproof way of knowing if a path with prefix and one without refers to
the same
file/folder. The only way would be disabling the prefix as they mentioned,
but that
results in having the driveletter in the path, which is not very nice.
> The protocol wouldn't work otherwise.
I cannot really comment on this as I do not know the protocol nor your code.
Except
for the fact that I don't understand why it should be a problem. If
everywhere a relative
path (that's what the prefix does) is used as the reference to a
file/folder, there should
not be a problem for CVSNT as it knows the prefix to place in front of it
when it needs
it and the client doesn't care as far as I can see.

There are no places where the full path is returned, though. The
protocol wouldn't work otherwise.

Which FAQ? It's wrong if it says that. There is no reason to use the
same drive at all.
