Hi,

 

When upgrading from 2.0.51 to 2.5.0.2b2064 on a Windows 2000 system I
encountered the following problem when checking out a project:

 

"Error in xml_read: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 18

cvs [server aborted]: Malformed fileattr.xml file in ."

 

line 18 of fileattr.xml :   <file name="Rise & Set of body">

 

It seems the '&' character is not escaped correctly in the fileattr.xml
file. When I use the appropriate escape sequence ( &#38;) everything seems
to work correctly.

 

Working line 18 :   <file name="Rise &#38; Set of body">

 

Probably something that needs to be corrected?

 

Erik.
