I got impatient and killed it. I had a similar problem with 2.2.7, and in that case ISTR that I let it finish, and it didn't check anything else out, so I assumed there was something wrong with what I was doing. > The first time you check out using a new tag, it goes searching > through every file looking for the tag to make sure it's valid. > Then it adds the tag to ${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT/val-tags and works > quickly thereafter. OK, it wasn't in val-tags, so I tried again, with cvs co -r RELENG_3_0_0_RELEASE src It took nearly 10 minutes, during which it created only src/CVS and (correct) contents. Then it started checking out normally. It still hasn't finished, but it has updated val-tags, so I'll assume it's a quirk rather than a bug. I'll put something in the book about it. > I don't know why it doesn't find the tag sooner than it does.
