I was pointed to a problem in the loginfo handling by Terris Linenbach
and I checked it myself just now.
The problem is that the space escape that was used earlier on
directories with embedded spaces in the name is no longer there. I
have not checked this for a long time now so I did not discover it
myself but I have managed to get a few logfiles from CVSMailer that
shows the situation.

Before (Jan 2005):
20050127 20:25:36 DEBUG: CVSNT version is: 2.0.62.1861
20050127 20:25:36 DEBUG: Parameter 5: ModuleYY/Test\\ With\\ \\ Spaces
SpecialFile.txt,1.1,1.2

Now:
20050927 12:40:09 DEBUG: CVSNT version is: 2.5.2.2099
20050927 12:40:09 DEBUG: Parameter 5: ModuleYY/Test With  Spaces
SpecialFile.txt,1.2,1.3

The absence of the escapes (\\) makes it inpossible to parse out the
module versus file info. And therefore the resulting actions are
erroneous...

I think that this once before happened (maybe before build 1861) and
that it was subsequently fixed, but now it is back again. I cannot say
from which build right now since I did not test for this case for a
long time.
