The other version, that came with win-cvs 1.2 shows the following when
asked the same question:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ "c:/Program Files/Gnu/WinCvs 1.2/cvs" -vConcurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client)

Obviously, the cygwin version is client/server and the win-cvs version
is just a client, however they bear the
same release number ( 1.11).
My problem is, that under cygwin a "cvs login" always fails where as
the command
"c:/Program Files/Gnu/WinCvs 1.2/cvs" login
( as quoted above to preserve spaces ) succeeds as does commit
etc.
I only discovered this after trying to unravel why my emacs started
in cygwin always died using
c-x c-q on files that had not yet been committed under win-cvs.
My reason for posting this here is to try and get some clarity around
what I should be doing.
Should i just copy "the working" win-cvs cvs.exe over my cygwin path'd
one? ( yeah I know I lose the
'server' ability --- part of my reluctance) or is there a better client/server
version that works
sympathetically with the win-cvs one when I am in "NT" mode?
Finally, does anyone have a link to some good advice on NT / cygwin / emacs / cvs usage?
If it helps, consider me a longtime unix / emacs / rcs user
struggling in an NT / cvs world.
