-Minor bug:
-
-"cvsinit" creates initial CVS files in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT. However, one
-of these files, "loginfo" performs an incorrect call to another, "log.pl".

-As supplied, loginfo contains this line:
-
-  DEFAULT   $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/log.pl -%s $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog

Hi,

this is a known bug in CVS 1.4. See the following info from the cvs-info
mini-faq a friend of mine send me:

 5. What does "Too many arguments!" mean?

        CVS 1.4a2 has a cvsinit script that incorrectly sets up the loginfo
        file, but only if perl is available.  If you don't have perl, you
        won't see this message (I don't have perl installed, which is why
        my testing didn't catch this bug).  If you do have perl, you can
        apply the patch at the end of this message to your 1.4a2
        distribution, or make the same change to your installed loginfo
        file (add a -f between %s and $CVSROOT).
