I don't think you're going to find many PATH_MAX's under 256. I think
UNIX and Windows both have PATH_MAXs of 4096?
CVS runs under DOS too. MVS is/was restricted to 44/52.
What is 44/52? Why the slash?
In any case, specifying the CVSROOT is part of the authentication phase and
needs to be limited by PATH_MAX. Since that is the largest potential string
passed during authentication, I think the use of PATH_MAX simply cascaded as
sufficient.
I agree that CVSROOT should be PATH_MAX, or actually, I
think it should be FILENAME_MAX,
PATH_MAX is defined to be the maximum length of any path, including the
filename, I believe, though please point me to the correct reference if
I am wrong.
but the other strings are
not logically related to filenames and thus should be separately
defined. Maybe I wouldn't be so anal to create a USERID_MAX,
WHATEVER_MAX, but I would separate filenames that aren't
actually stored in the ",v" file to strings that are. I see those as
very different things.
What are you talking about here? What filenames stored in ,v files?
