cvs package available for test

[Charles Wilson]

hoefter -
  I've copied this message to the list, please continue the discussion
there.  Have you tried using the cygwin cvs client from cvs-1.10.8-2
with any other cvs server, such as
:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com/cvs/src ? If not, please try it from
your machine -- I'm trying to make sure that the problem you are
experiencing is truly due to cvs-1.10.8-2 client, and not a bug in
Andy's pserverd.
