(This is repost from cvsgui NG - apparently more a cvsnt problem) CVSNT version 2.0.24 cvs edit command When remote repository cannot be contacted the following (correct) error is reported. cvs [edit aborted]: connect to localhost:2401 failed: Connection refused In wincvs 1.2 (using its own cvs?) the command will still make a file readable, and put a copy in CVS/Base in win cvs 1.3.15.1 (using cvsnt) it doesn't do anything. According to the help file on cvs1.10 "When using client/server CVS, you can use the cvs edit and cvs unedit commands even if CVS is unable to succesfully communicate with the server; the notifications will be sent upon the next successful CVS command." I have tried the commandline cvs edit, and it behaves the same (as expected) Is this a bug in CVSNT? When the repository is unavailable, and I have all my files checked out readonly, I still want to be able to make them readable using "cvs edit". In addition, this gives me the original in CVS/Base, so I can diff locally. - Eliot
