RE: Protocol error: root request missing

I noticed this as well. Apparently this is a bug in CVS implementations
which expect a Root request to be sent even prior to a UseUnchangedRequest
or ValidRequestsRequest. As far as I understand the CVS spec it is not
required. However I am testing a change here where Netbeans sends the
RootRequest ahead of any request and it seems to fix the problem (See
Client.java -  move the Root request ahead of any request for the fix). If
someone can confirm the spec for me we can open a problem with CVS as well.
Sending the Root request ahead is harmless anyway as long as you send it
only once.

Well, I'm not sure whether this is a bug in the library, or a misuse. I
would
have to deep dive into the code.
Do you use the 3.5 version of the library?
There were recently made some changes to the logic when RootRequest is sent
(in
issue #34665). The dev version of the library may fix this.
