[Mediawiki-l] CVS or subversion?

Fri Mar 10 20:38:59 UTC 2006

Sorry, I'm not able to find my error.

Hitting Enter gives an error. Please, find following the log. Whatever protocol I try (ext: as per TortoiseCVS docs or pserver: as per MediaWiki docs, the login failes. Here is the entries I'm using in the Checkout window...

Tortoise Tip:  Sometimes you get this error if you have the repository folder wrong in the Checkout dialog.  Make sure you have a slash at the start of the folder name, and that the case and path are correct.  Watch out for spurious trailing characters.

Examples are:  "/cvsroot", "/usr/local/cvs-repository", "/cvsroot/cvsgui"

Once again, sorry if I'm missing anything obvious.

Thanks,

Ricardo

On the other hand, by following TortoiseCVS documentation for using it with SourceForge projects Tortoise keeps asking for a password whatever the user is. Sorry, I'm a bit confused.
