[Boa Constr] CVS woes

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

I truly am trying to get CVS to work for me in Boa. Here are two areas that
are tripping me up at the moment.

1. Files in the CVS folder showing up with red icons to indicate they aren't
up-to-date. No amount of updating seems to fix this. For example, README.TXT
shows up as red, yet here is what the command line CVS status reports:

C:\Code\boa>cvs -z7 status README.TXT
===================================================================
File: README.TXT        Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.5
   Repository revision: 1.5     /cvsroot/boa-constructor/boa/README.TXT,v
   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)

2. The CVS dialog closes immediately upon completion of its task, keeping me
from being able to read its results. For example, if I select the README.TXT
file from the CVS folder in Boa, then click on the Status toolbar button,
then hit OK on the CVS command line dialog, the CVS progress... dialog box
comes up, the Waiting for response... progress bar fills up a few times,
something flashes in the text boxes and the dialog closes. If I do status on
the whole directory then I have barely enough time to see that text is
indeed being written to the two text boxes, so I know the CVS part is
working. Is this the expected behavior? The same thing happens with CVS
Logout.
