Thanks, I will do that as I wasn't aware that the command-line element of
JavaCVS was going to be developed further (it seems like some time since
anything was actually done to it).

In the meantime, that doesn't help much as I really need to get this
operational in the next few days.

Mark, why didn't you file a bug for javacvs module to the NetBeans
bugtracking
system? This problem with the log command will have to be solved anyway in
the
next release of NetBeans, because NetBeans will start using the
command-line
invokable client class from javacvs.

So if you have any requirements for javacvs, feel free to file bugs or
enhancements.

Regards,
Martin
