[cvsnt] Re: IBM WebSphere Studio and CVSNT

[Tyler Theobald]

Yea, I couldn't add a project with the usual cvsroot - It kept throwing up a
warning and then prompting me to login over and over. Had to cancel, then
changed the cvsroot to the absolute path and deselected the repository
prefix on the server and haven't had a warning since - Everythings smooth
now - But I can't leave the server without the prefix setting.......
I'll continue to recommend Tortoise to the developers, but I'm still trying
to sell CVSNT as the standard repository, so getting it to work with as many
IDE's as possible is important.
So there's no way you can think of to support one repository with a prefix
and one without?
Thanks!
