Re: "Dying gasps received from client." with CVS 1.12.11

[gnu-cvs]

Thanks for the information, what caused the problem. But how to avoid or 
work around it? As already said, version 1.12.9 works without problems.

BTW, where can I find a document, that shows which requests/responses need 
to be adapted at client-side for the incompatible relative-paths-change in 
version 1.12.10 ("The CVS server now sends paths to files relative to the 
repository.")?
