Changes in latest snapshot

[Peter Ring]

Something that you could have done: Change ~/.cvspass, ~/.cvsrc, and all
*/CVS/* files in your sandboxes to Unix format. You might also need change
other files, e.g. */.cvsignore, and you might want to change some or all
text files in your sandboxes.

Nothing mysterious here, it's just that many Unix utillities are very
sensitive to little details in configuration files (like a CR at the end of
each line).

Kind regards
Peter Ring

Woo - watch out.

I use "cvs" (the cygwin port) in :pserver: mode, and recently, when I 
changed my system mount point to binmode, "cvs login" stopped working. I 
would do "cvs login", and it would prompt for a password, and store it. 
Then for any subsequent "cvs" op, it would tell me that the password was 
invalid, and ask me to log in again.

The only thing I could do was to go back to a "textmode" system mount.
