It's not that unusual to commit multiple files - TortoiseCVS works the 
same way (although most people commit entire directories).

It's trying to create a branch (and failing, but that's ancient 
(pre-cvsnt) code and I'm not sure why it would fail) - I suspect the 
commit isn't the only thing that's happening there..  a commit won't 
create a branch.

Is there any way you can get what is being sent to the server when that 
happens?  It's not repeatable using a standard client - but a standard 
client could not parse the command as given anyway as it's illegal.
