Tony, I don't think it is duration related as my system is as follows: Intel P4 2.8GHz Memory 512MB PC3200 2.5CL Disk 120GB UDMA5 OS Windows XP Pro (logged in with local administrator rights) I have set up a test simple test that fails with the following structure: C:\Work\NewFolder\Test C:\Work\NewFolder\Test\AFile.txt (The the AFile.txt contains the text "AFile.txt" without the quotes.) Executing this command C:\Work\NewFolder>cvs import -kB -m "Importing test project" -I ! NewFolder MyVendor Vn2 cvs server: Importing C:/CVSRepo/Main/NewFolder/Test N NewFolder/Test/AFile.exe No conflicts created by this import Moving to the C:\Work\Test directory and issuing the following command: C:\Work\Test>cvs checkout NewFolder cvs server: Updating NewFolder cvs server: Updating NewFolder/Test cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) The last line appears after 30 seconds. Using the -kb option on the import line works as expected. Am I doing something wrong? Missing the point? Thanks, Andy.
