Re: [TortoiseCVS] Re: Releasing folders with local protocol fails

[Glen S. <grs...@co...>]

Try using :pserver: instead of :local: protocol.  When you use :local:, 
you are using the version of CVS that comes with Tortoise for both 
client and server (sort of, just bypassing the protocol and accessing 
the files directly) so you've effectively cut 2.5.01.1910 out of the loop.

The error you mention has been fixed at some point before 2.5.01 came 
out.  Apparently the version that's shipping with Tortoise now (unless 
you replaced that for some reason) has that flaw.
