Adrian,
I'm certainly using pcl-cvs with non-local repositories for XEmacs,
pcl-cvs, and some things at work. I'm not using NT/Windows, however.
The suggestions for fixing cvs-change-cvsroot to accept non-local
roots look good, I'll incorporate them soon.
Your problem with `e' I haven't reproduced, though I imagine it may be
fixed in the current version in the repository, provided
shell-command-switch is set to "/c". Beware though that this command
is broken in that it does not seem to write out the updated file if
you merge by hand. I'll get to fixing this sometime, but need to
resolve incorporating Stefan Monnier's extensive changes first.
Now back to the bigger problem, your M-x cvs-checkout. First, I can't
claim ever to have run cvs-checkout, so I suggest doing cvs checkout
outside emacs and using M-x cvs-{update,examine,status} to make sure
that's not the issue. I suggest not setting the cvs-cvsroot variable
with M-x cvs-change-cvsroot, CVS/pcl-cvs should do the right thing
once you've checked out a module. Also, I'd like to get you using the
current version in the repository, xemacs package version 1.37. That
pcl-cvs-version="R-2_0-Beta_2" is meaningless, that's the author
version. Do you have an ftp site I can drop a binary package on?
Then, if you still have problems, I need a backtrace.
thanks for testing...
Greg
