#1402 CVS checkout aborted: bad entries line-Unrecognized response from server

[Shruti Kerni]

Hi Team,

I am getting unrecognized response while checking out code. I also get bad entries line like the below copied.
I am unable to checkout code, it runs for sometime then crashes before the complete checkout.

Please help me. I am struggling since past 2 months. Tried many things to fix it.

This is a CVS Server error and has nothing to do with TortoiseCVS.

Shuruti Kerni,

This is a known bug in CVSNT - bug 6021 - it was fixed back in 2011 in release 2.8.01.4218:
http://customer.march-hare.com/webtools/bugzilla/ttshow_bug.cgi?id=6021&tt=1

The last release of 2.5.05 which you are using was in 2010 - it is no longer supported or updated.

You can download the latest CVSNT trial (which includes an updated TortoiseCVS) here:
