Re: [BorCVS-support] absolute pathname '...' illegal for server

[Thomas B. <th...@bl...>]

Hi,

I don't know why this absolute path's are a problem on your system, they 
are working fine here, and I also did not receive any messages from anyone 
else with this problem. Anyway, I'll think about switching to relative 
paths - but I don't know if that's so easy (think about a project spanning 
several directories with different CVS repositories...)
