I was reading the man page and it doesn't look like cvs import even accepts -n. is easy-import using cvs import's exit status? it should print a better error message on failure... I think. CVS could have done a much better job, by the way, it was my EDITOR environment variable set to an invalid path.

Yeah.. actually I've gotten fairly familiar with cvs recently, I'm writing a version control program, except better, and in c++, which is why I'm so interested in having a compiler. its in beta if anyone's interested, it won't scale to the freebsd project yet but its way better for smaller things. http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jmacd/prcs.html -joshhome | help
