[cvsnt] cvsnt / samba problem

[Patrick Olinet]

Hummm... Thanks for your reply by that's a bit frustrating, isn't it ?

I guess there are good reasons for that not to work but :

 - I think it's a common setup, specially when you deal with web
developpment and you want your remote web server to access your sandbox
web files (in my case, my web server is also on my linux box). To put a
web server locally on the Windows machine isn't a solution since it
requires you to duplicate its installation/configuration for each web
developper. It could be a lot of work and that's too error-prone.

 - It works when you use the Cygwin cvs client... so it's possible ! And I
don't want to install the whole cygwin package only to get access to a cmd
line cvs client !

 - It also works (at least, I don't get the 'empty directories errors') if
I use a regular network drive.


Rgds,
Patrick
