Hi: I tried to research this, found similar problems but not exactly the problem I'm having... We changed our respository from one server (a Unix box named src, located at /aaa/bbb/CVS) to a new server (we just changed the dns entry to point to a new Unix machine, so it's still src but this directory is /ddd/CVS). The original machine is now offline. My problem is that I did not change the repository setting in WinCvs before the original machine came down. Now when I start WinCvs it hangs, so I can not change the repository information via the gui or access any menu entries. I was running on 1.3 on Windoz XP, and then upgraded to the current 2.02, but am still having the same problem. I tried searching the registry for all instances of WinCvs, but could not find anything that looks like the repository settings. I also tried to grep the WinCvs directory for the CVS server name, hoping to find a configuration file, but no luck there either. Is the repository definition someplace where I can edit it by hand, or any other suggestions as to how to get WinCvs to respond so that I can change it from the gui? TIA for your help!
