If you use cvs to update and commit files to the GOC CVS repository
please read on. This change does not affect the GO Public CVS
repository.
The cvs server has been updated to allow our larger files to be
retrieved. Unfortunately this change also breaks one of the cvs
client options. Until further notice please do not use the "z"
option. It might look like this "-qz3", change that to "-q".
The z option specifies the server to transmit gzipped data. For a
currently unknown reason if the z option is used the client command
always hangs -- never completing or timing out. Removing the z
option will result in slower download times.
This version does work for the larger files we now have present in
the repository so over all this new version is a good thing.
Check your scripts and .cvsrc files to see if the z option was included.
Sorry for the hassle and for any problems this change may have caused.
