I tried using /cvsroot instead of /sources, and got the same problem. This time I had the sense to use -t; this was the last bit of output: [...] S -> Register(erc-autoaway.el, 1.8, , , ) U emacs/lisp/erc/erc-autoaway.el -> rename(.new.erc-autoa,erc-autoaway.el) -> Register(erc-autoaway.el, 1.8, Thu Jul 26 05:26:51 2007, , ) -> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries) -> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Log) S -> time_stamp_server (erc-backend.el, (null), (null), (null)) S -> RCS_checkout (/cvsroot/emacs/emacs/lisp/erc/erc-backend.el,v, 1.12, , , (function)) S -> modify_watchers ( erc-backend.el ) S -> time_stamp_server (erc-backend.el, (null), (null), (null)) S -> server_register(erc-backend.el, 1.12, , , , , ) S -> Register(erc-backend.el, 1.12, , , ) cvs [checkout aborted]: received interrupt signal -> Lock_Cleanup() The interrupt is of course where I killed it after it was hung for many minutes; I note that the last line of output corresponds to the one immediately before the last U line.
