I was asked to do this switch a long time ago, but only now had enough
time to set up my system (a Windows 98 box) for that. I have PuTTY
installed, and set up the ported CVS to use its PLINK utility for
CVS/SSH access to the Emacs repository, including registration of my
public key on savannah. However, when I try to run some CVS command,
like this:
cvs -z3 -d :ext:subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs diff -u src/msdos.c
I get the following error message:
protocol error: directory '/cvs/emacs/src' not within root '/cvsroot/emacs'
("cvs diff" was chosen because it's a non-destructive command.)
>From this I understand two things:
1) my CVS/SSH setup seems to be working okay, and I am, in fact,
accessing the /cvsroot/emacs repository via SSH;
2) the error message is due to the old root recorded in the
CVS/Repository files.
Are these conclusions correct, or am I missing something?
Now, it's possible that if I say "cvs co -d emacs", the CVS client
will rewrite all the CVS/Repository files, and this problem will go
away. However, I wonder whether there's a less dramatic way of
switching; for example, can I simply edit those CVS/Repository files
manually?
TIA
P.S. Btw, is it still true that subversions uses SSHv1, not v2,
unlike the rest of my gnu.org accounts?
