[cvsnt] Re: commit/unedit strangeness

[Gerhard Fiedler]

Hello,

thanks Brian and Flávio. With these results, I don't have to do it myself
:)

Anyway, since it worked with earlier versions of the client with my server
version, this seems to mean that the newer versions of the client are not
compatible with older versions of the server anymore. I'm not sure what
that means regarding standard cvs servers. I don't have write access to
one, so I can't tell.

>From this I conclude that if you can't control the server version, you may
have to use different client versions, depending on the server version
you're talking to. So far I assumed that the newer clients would work with
older servers, and this held true so far, but seemingly not anymore.
