Didn't we have that strange root folder duplication bug some weeks ago
already? Wasn't this supposed to be fixed by now or is that issue still
open? What versions of CVSNT are you using on the client and server?

Hmm, that usually means that there already is a newer revision in the
repository ... however, with CVS seemingly looking at the wrong/non-existing
repository folder I guess anything could happen...

What about cvs status case.pm ?

See above. I thought that had been fixed... are you by any chance using NT4
on either client or server? I seem to remember that this had something to do
with that...

You are already in it, aren't you?
