As a new cvs package is being trialed, can someone confirm the following is
indeed correct.

For me, I have found that cvs  + Cygwin1.dll has been broken for some time
although on the surface it look like it functions ok. (confused)

Firstly, I do use cvs all the time (only for anon cvs -z4 -q update -dP).
However, because of the problems I have experienced, I mainly use the CD
version of Cygwin, for cvs updates, which works correctly for me.

Now for my problem..........

If I do a cvs update with a "post CD Cygwin" (from 1.1.0  I think it
started) I get a huge amount of data being uploaded to the cvs server before
it downloads the code updates. It does do the update correctly but it takes
forever - It looks like it uploads the whole repository first.

Now if I use the CD version, only a small amount of data is uploaded  to the
cvs server before it downloads the code updates, which is what I think
should happen, and the whole update is done reasonable quickly.

I have tested different versions of cvs but it always seems to be related to
the cygwin.dll version used. Just dropping a new cygwin1.dll into the CD
version cygwin causes the incorrect behaviour to occur.


Anyway, my aim is to just confirm whether or not  it is isolated to my
setup.
