The use and purpose of checkoutlist is described here:

Do you mean rcsinfo?, explained here:

Yes this is the correct behaviour.

Checkoutlist is a server side function not a client function - do you
mean rcsinfo?

> I'm using CVSNT:
> Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382

There are several known bugs in rcsinfo that are fixed in CVS Suite
2008, but not in any 'free' releases yet:

Commit info template incomplete on client:

Template paths within rcsinfo not working:

If rcsinfo defined export tries to create CVS/Template:
