[cvsnt] Re: Networking mystery....

[Bo Berglund]

Adding to the mystery:
I checked what a commit would do and it actually commits my changed
file.
Seems like something has broken for update.
Diff also will never finish, but if run from WinCvs it seems to use
update anyway.

What can cause cvs update to behave like this?
