It is likely that there is no problem with the CVS server at all but 
that this is simply a misinterpretation (maybe expecting the wrong 
result) by the Eclipse client.

If you can show the sequence of protocol commands that creates this 
error, and show that it may be Eclipse's fault, but that the CVS server 
should be able to detect the error and output a nice error message to 
assist future writers of CVS clients, then we might be interested in 
adding the error message, but again, there is likely no problem with CVS 
at all.
