I managed to find out why CVS kept failing when I opened a project.
Basically the first CVS command XCode issues is this:
/usr/bin/cvs -q -n update
This returns an error because I had "cvs -z3" in my ~/.cvsrc file.
To investigate this, do this:
This should succeed (-f means ignore ~/.cvsrc):
cvs -f -n up
This should fail:
cvs -f -z3 -n up
This should succeed if you remove the "cvs -z3" line:
cvs -n up
Really I think it's a bug in CVS. The latest CVS from fink doesn't fix
it either.
Other CVS hints:
Be sure to switch OFF the "use ssh instead of rsh" setting, even if
you're using ssh.
Use SSHKeychain to make sure an SSH agent is available.
Anyway, I hope this is of help to others who might have been having CVS
problems.
