My trouble was this: there were two directories with differing cvs sources. the error was observed when one of the cvs repositories was missing/unreachable. After that happened, the CVSROOT became sticky and did not change. So the problem was that the CVSROOT did not change rather than it changed.

I got the bug :) And it seems that the unstable version handles unreachable CVS repositories in a much better way. It simply says "invalid entry" as I see and absolutely no problems are apparent. Except this. Excuse me for not having put this clearly, but the bug had two manifestations for me 1. That after an invalid repository is encountered, some operations fail 2. Outside the source tree, the last seen CVSROOT is used causing trouble. Now 1 certainly doesn't happen in the new version. I don't make any claims whether it happened in the earlier version, but here is what is wrong with case 2. Assume you are outside your working copy of a module from a remote cvs repository. When you want to see what modules you have got on your "local" repository, you can use the module browser. Then you go to the alien tree, and see that the host is not reachable. You navigate out of that dir, and want to check out your modules on the reachable server and you see that the client still assumes that of the dir you left (and which was broken) Or you want to import a new dir, and the default CVSROOT would be the broken one. So, I'm saying that the behavior I desribe is more intuitive. In particular, you would 1. see that the "shell" behavior is not conveyed as it would be expected. When you get into a tree the CVSROOT may be set to that of the tree, but when you move up, it should assume the earlier. Simple recursion. 2. It might even be desirable to select among multiple CVS roots in in a graphical way. This may be amended simply by a "Bookmarks" menu, or a most recently used CVSROOTS menu in the Module browser. You may lower the severity of the bug to wishlist if you would like to, or you may simply forward these assessments to upstream authors. I have another bug concerning the module browser...

I got the bug :) And it seems that the unstable version handles unreachable CVS repositories in a much better way. It simply says "invalid entry" as I see and absolutely no problems are apparent. Except this. Excuse me for not having put this clearly, but the bug had two manifestations for me 1. That after an invalid repository is encountered, some operations fail 2. Outside the source tree, the last seen CVSROOT is used causing trouble. Now 1 certainly doesn't happen in the new version. I don't make any claims whether it happened in the earlier version, but here is what is wrong with case 2. Assume you are outside your working copy of a module from a remote cvs repository. When you want to see what modules you have got on your "local" repository, you can use the module browser. Then you go to the alien tree, and see that the host is not reachable. You navigate out of that dir, and want to check out your modules on the reachable server and you see that the client still assumes that of the dir you left (and which was broken) Or you want to import a new dir, and the default CVSROOT would be the broken one. So, I'm saying that the behavior I desribe is more intuitive. In particular, you would 1. see that the "shell" behavior is not conveyed as it would be expected. When you get into a tree the CVSROOT may be set to that of the tree, but when you move up, it should assume the earlier. Simple recursion. 2. It might even be desirable to select among multiple CVS roots in in a graphical way. This may be amended simply by a "Bookmarks" menu, or a most recently used CVSROOTS menu in the Module browser. You may lower the severity of the bug to wishlist if you would like to, or you may simply forward these assessments to upstream authors. I have another bug concerning the module browser...
