[Cvs-dev] 'cvs pserver' returning "Patched" instead of "Update-existing" ? |

Hello all,
Perhaps you could advise regarding the an issue we're experiencing on Savannah,
with the latest cvs (post-1.12.13):
It seems that a cvs binary compiled from the latest sources returns a different
response when updating a file, "Patched" instead of "Update-existing".
Since my CVS understanding is limited, it is quite likely we've simply haven't
configured it correctly (or missing some command-line option?).
The only other similar case I could find online was this, an unresolved ticket
from 2008:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=200914
"[CVS]Error: Unknown response received from cvs server: Patched"
Form our old (=current) server, doing a "cvs checkout" to update an existing
cvs repository uses the "Update-existing" command, and sends the entire file.
With our new server (cvs compiled from source), doing the same "cvs checkout"
(same client binary) returns a "Patched" command, with only a diff of the
changed file - but the client 'cvs' doesn't know what to do with the 'diff',
and the file is not updated.
It can be reduced to this:
# checkout from old server:
# start with 'pretest' directory that is one commit BEHIND the old server
export CVS_CLIENT_LOG=old-vcs.txt
cvs -t -d :pserver:address@hidden:/webcvs/pretest checkout -P pretest
# checkout from new server:
# start with 'pretest' directory that is one commit BEHIND the new server
export CVS_CLIENT_LOG=new-vcs.txt
cvs -t -d :pserver:address@hidden:/webcvs/pretest checkout -P pretest
And the difference is:
--- old-vcs.txt.out 2016-12-04 22:19:58.000000000 -0500
+++ new-vcs.txt.out 2016-12-04 22:20:30.000000000 -0500

From the old server, the entire content of the updated 'pretest/index.html'
follows.
From the new server, only a diff follows.
When using the new server, a temporary file is created, containing the diff,
but it is not used or applied:
$ cat pretest/.new.9LKyAi

If this rings any bells, I would welcome any suggestions on how to restore the
old behavior.
Thanks!
