A few minutes ago, I tried a cvsup operation with the following supfile: *default host=3Dcvsup.nl.FreeBSD.org *default base=3D/myjunk/mytrial *default prefix=3D/myjunk/mytrial *default release=3Dcvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all tag=3DRELENG_4 where /myjunk/mytrial lives on another slice of mine. Needless to say, it worked perfectly. Next, I used Brandon's model: *default host=3Dcvsup.nl.FreeBSD.org *default base=3D/myjunk/mytrial *default prefix=3D/myjunk/mytrial *default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all And, wait for it, it worked flawlessly. I am afraid **sigh** there must be some weird/hidden interaction somewhere. But just to eliminate one possibility, a check with vi would make sure no weird/unnecessary characters are found in the supfile.
