Re: CVS and multiple platforms - version conflicts, features available etc.

[ADFH]

After several helpful comments from people here, and a bit of digging
around, have been examining 1.11.4 from cvshome.org as well as the
source package from Debian for 1.11.2...

Have noticed something .. in the Debian 1.11.2 source package, there is
a patch file which adjusts server.c's handling of watch statements..

Is the following a problem with the patch in the debian 1.11.2 package,
or a problem inherent with 1.11.2 - and would either necessitate an
upgrade to 1.11.4 (which isn't available as a package for debian yet)?

For example - server.c exerpt
-----------------------------
serve_watch_add (arg)
    char *arg;
{
    do_cvs_command ("watch_add", watch_add);
}

Patch file 10_watch_on_pserver exerpt
-------------------------------------
@@ -3732,7 +3732,7 @@
 serve_watch_add (arg)
     char *arg;
 {
-    do_cvs_command ("watch_add", watch_add);
+    do_cvs_command ("watch", watch_add);
 }

... would this have anything to do with the following?
