>Confidential:  no
>Synopsis:      Special chars in filenames not preserved
>Severity:      serious
>Priority:      high
>Category:      cvs
>Class:         sw-bug
>Release:       cvs-1.10
>Environment:
        
System: SunOS kite 5.8 Generic_108528-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000
Architecture: sun4

>Description:
The "cvs co" command, in particular, does not preserve spaces in filenames.
This bug is also present in CVS 1.11 under Cygwin 1.3.9.
>How-To-Repeat:
Using one of many files in our repository with spaces in the name:
~ $ cvs co bringup/VMI/doc/Mobile\ List\ Utility.doc
CVS server: warning: new-born bringup/VMI/doc/Mobile has disappeared
CVS server: warning: new-born bringup/VMI/doc/List has disappeared
CVS server: warning: new-born bringup/VMI/doc/Utility.doc has disappeared

>Fix:
It seems obvious to me that some helper program has been invoked via
system() without the proper protection of arguments.
