[cvsnt] Re: Update fails: cannot create_adm_p

[Glen Starrett]

I'm using CVS (command line and via TortoiseCVS) over a VPN over cable modem
through internet every day.  I've never experienced what you describe--maybe
a bandwidth/timing related thing?  I typically update the whole module at a
time.

If you can repeat it then let me know the details and maybe I can try it on
my end to get you a better comparison.

Are there any other connectivity problems over your VPN?  I would tend to
finger that first.

FWIW:
I have noted yesterday a similar problem using sspi to a repository
connected via a VPN tunnel over Internet:
Selecting a folder in WinCvs and executing update makes some activity
show in the connection icon in the tray but it soon dies out and then
nothing until a long time has passed when the whole thing aborts with
exit code -1. This happens also if I check the "do not recurse into
subdirs" checkbox.
But if I select a group of files in the same module and then click
update all works fine!
So somehow the fact that I am updating the whole directory over the
VPN tunnel rather than a number of named files makes a difference.
Strange...
