Thank you for that advice.  I am a tad confused though.  Do you really
mean the *server*?  I guess not.  How would I be able to update
cvs.sourceforge.net? ;-)  OK, so I updated my client to the latest
Cygwin release which is 1.11.6.

The info page still says that I need a repository and a working
directory for the log command.  It has no reference to the rlog command
in the version I have, maybe this documentation bug has been fixed in a
later release?!  Well, I bravely ;-) issued a "cvs -z3
-d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/jgloss rlog jgloss",
but that gave me oodles of information.  Granted, the one I was looking
for was in there as well ;-), but there has got to be a quicker way to
do this, right?  For lack of documentation and experience, I can't find
this myself and hope for your kind guidance.

Best regards

Rolf
