Re: Problem with accented characters

HI Francis/Albert,
 
Yes - use 'cvs.exe' instead.
 
General advice to all: STOP USING TORTOISEPLINK and :ext:!!!!
 
I've discussed this on and off with Torsten - for many many many years CVSNT (the client that comes with TortoiseCVS) has an in-built :ssh: protocol and I've not heard a single good technical or business reason to include both plink/ext and ssh - it's just confusing.  The number of articles out there on the web that have pages and pages of text and reams of diagrams about how to get CVSNT to connect by ssh using :ext: makes it look like the most difficult product to use invented by man.  
 
So if your client connection string is like :ext:host:/repo  then change it to :ssh:host:/repo and it should just work, no environment variables, no PATH and other .exe required.  Note: if you have 'putty' installed you can also use a putty session name as the host name, 
eg: :ssh:putty-session:/repo 
 
To help the community resolve the issue with non-ASCII filenames please perform these diagnostic steps:
 
1. Does the problem occur when using checkout using the command line using TCVS 12.x?:
set CVS_CLIENT_LOG=c:\log123
cvs.exe -ttt -d :pserver:host:/repo co modulename > c:\co2.txt 2> co2-err.txt
or
set CVS_CLIENT_LOG=c:\log123
cvs.exe -ttt -d :ssh:host:/repo co modulename > c:\co2.txt 2> co2-err.txt
 
Send to support.cvs-qn/[email protected]:
* the EXACT command
* the log123.in and log123.out files
* the co2.txt and co2-err.txt files
* a directory listing/screenshot of the invalidly named files
 
2. Does the problem occur when using checkout using the command line using TCVS 10.10?:
set CVS_CLIENT_LOG=c:\log456
cvs.exe -ttt -d :pserver:host:/repo co modulename > c:\co1.txt 2> co1-err.txt
or
set CVS_CLIENT_LOG=c:\log456
cvs.exe -ttt -d :ssh:host:/repo co modulename > c:\co1.txt 2> co1-err.txt
 
Send to support.cvs-qn/[email protected] <mailto:support.cvs-qn/[email protected]> :
* the EXACT command
* the log456.in and log456.out files
* the co1.txt and co1-err.txt files
* a directory listing/screenshot of the invalidly named files
 
3. If the error does NOT occur with command line, but DOES occur in TortoiseCVS please copy/paste the contents of the 'command window' from TCVS 10.10 and TCVS 12.x
 
 
Regards,
 
 
Arthur

	Thank you Arthur,
	 
	I check our server, it's not a CVSNT server. It's the Debian packaged version. So are the diagnostics always usefull ?
	 
	And if so, I don't have a 'cvsnt' command, but 'Program Files (x86)\CVSNT\cvs.exe'. Do I use this command ?

		Hi Francis/Albert,
		 
		If you are using CVSNT client then you should ideally be running CVSNT server (yes it runs on linux).
		 
		Older CVS systems have always had problems with non-ASCII characters and how they are represented cross platform - CVSNT has specific protocol enhancements to communicate the character set being used between the client and the server.  When you've upgraded your CVSNT client (as a part of the TCVS upgrade) something has changed with the character set translation.

		cvsnt -ttt -d :pserver:host:/repo co modulename > c:\co2.txt 2> co2-err.txt
		 
		Send to support.cvs-qn/[email protected]:
		* the EXACT command
		* the co2.txt and co2-err.txt files
		* a directory listing/screenshot of the invalidly named files

			Hi,
			 
			in my compagny, we have a CVS server on linux. We use it from years with TortoiseCVS on XP machines.
			 
			I get a new Windows 7 machine and I install the last version of Tortoise (1.12.5). Installation works fine. I check-out my modules. Some file and folders have name with accented characters (like éàè, ...). In Windows 7, these characters appears like a question mark...
			 
			Am I missing a parameter ?
			 
			 
			Thank you
