Re: Remove Command Fails Myseriously

As I replied to Robbie Gibson yesterday, the probable cause is that you don't create a new 
connection each time. yes, it's weird, I assume the cvs server doesn't do proper cleanup after the 
add command is initiated. The library was initially designed (or at least allows it) to shere the 
connection among the commands, however the server doesn't like it.

Well, there are also the header requests that can play a role. IMHO the cause is unproper cleanup at 
the server side.
