In Joe's case I think it is because he is using cygwin or something
trying to interoperate with cygwin.  For the record noone should
ever use cygwin for any part of BitPim development for any reason.

I think you'll find it is called TortoiseCVS :-)

On a related note, I have moved all professional and personal projects to
Subversion and really like it.  SourceForge are dragging their heels
but will hopefully be deploying it soon.  I will want to move ASAP, and
in fact if SourceForge decide not to provide Subversion then we'll go
elsewhere (eg Berlios).

On Windows TortoiseSVN is absolutely fantastic.  I haven't actually
ever used the Windows command line svn client since you can do
everything easily from the gui.

I highly recommend the Subversion book as background reading.  See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

I would absolutely love to have Trac as well.  Read about it at
http://www.edgewall.com/trac/ and see it in action at
http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/

Unfortunately it looks like it will be a long time before SourceForge
has simple things like the timeline viewer or a better usable bug tracking
system, a wiki etc.

You get that with Python on all platforms.  It uses Tk but allegedly
has issues running gui programs or using the debugger with a gui program.
