From: Matt Armstrong Date: Fri, 01 Nov 2002 10:53:27 -0700 Message-ID: <87r8e5b2i0.fsf@squeaker.lickey.com> User-Agent: Gnus/5.090008 (Oort Gnus v0.08) Emacs/21.2 (i386-debian-linux-gnu) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Virus-Scanned: by AMaViS snapshot-20020300 I'm seeing some very odd behavior from cvs and I wonder if others are seeing it too. No matter what args I pass it, cvs tells me it is an invalid option -- even the --help-options arg. All other cygwin stuff seems to be functioning well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- % cvs -d :pserver:gnus AT cvs DOT gnus DOT org:/usr/local/cvsroot login cvs: invalid option -- Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments] where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc. (specify --help-options for a list of options) where command is add, admin, etc. (specify --help-commands for a list of commands or --help-synonyms for a list of command synonyms) where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command (specify -H followed by a command name for command-specific help) Specify --help to receive this message The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control.
