Re: shell

[Devon Sean McCullough]

Patch fails, I could patch it manually but I'd rather sync up ...

        http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq2.html
...
        The following commands should checkout the current version of the 
source:

        c:\>cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs login
        c:\>cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs checkout emacs

... fails, is the FAQ broken?

                Peace

... also tried ...

$ cvs -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/webcvs/emacs diff emacs
cvs server: I know nothing about emacs

... lose, lose.  Worked last year.

    Sure, some hook runs when output goes to a shell buffer,
    which notices the time and whether or not the user can see it.
    Compare to earlier tempo and visibility.  When invisible,
    include the last line or so of output with the password prompt.

I think just the latter would be enough for now.
This seems to work--does it work for you?
