------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
Unfortunately, I've gone as far as I can with this request, as I haven't found 
any evidence that this is a problem with the CVS server on Savannah, and all 
attempts to reproduce this have failed (FWIW, CVS 1.11.5 doesn't exhibit this 
problem).

The last thing I can suggest is that you contact Apple and see if they are able 
to help you.

I'm sorry I can't be of any more help.

Summary:  CVS update fails

Original Submission:  The commands below were run in a source tree checked out 
in April.

/Users/billn/Public/Swarm/swarm/
/usr/bin/cvs -q -n update
cvs update: inflate: unknown compression method
cvs [update aborted]: reading from server: Input/output error

I get this error persistently.  My system is MacOS X 10.3.4 with the standard 
CVS 1.10 (Halibut).

The contents of the CVS directory are:
Root:
address@hidden:/cvsroot/swarm

Repository:
/cvsroot/swarm/swarm

Any help would be appreciated
Bill Northcott

Second log file attached.  My effort to send two files was unsuccessful.

Whoops.  Forget that last message.  The shell did not have ssh as the cvs 
access method.

Now I get:
[PBG4-BN:~/Public/Swarm/swarm] billn% /usr/bin/cvs -q -n update
cvs update: inflate: unknown compression method
cvs [update aborted]: reading from server: Input/output error
[PBG4-BN:~/Public/Swarm/swarm] billn% 

Log files attached.

I tried with the log files as requested.  Behaviour seems to have changed but 
is still not working.  I have tested this on two computers with identical 
result.

[PBG4-BN:~/Public/Swarm/swarm] billn% setenv CVS_CLIENT_LOG cvs.log
[PBG4-BN:~/Public/Swarm/swarm] billn% /usr/bin/cvs -q -n update
savannah.gnu.org: Operation timed out
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
[PBG4-BN:~/Public/Swarm/swarm] billn% 

This error is the same from within Xcode.

cvs.log.in:
Root /cvsroot/swarm
Valid-responses ok error Valid-requests Checked-in New-entry Checksum Copy-file

cvs.log.out is empty.

Can you try the following from a shell (assuming bash):

  export CVS_CLIENT_LOG=cvs.log
  /usr/bin/cvs -q -n update

And attach the files cvs.log.in and cvs.log.out (which will be in the same 
directory as you ran cvs in) ?

The previous error occured trying to update the status from within Xcode.

I did a fresh checkout from within a shell and tried again with the same result:
[PBG4-BN:Swarm/test/swarm] billn% /usr/bin/cvs -q -n update
cvs update: inflate: unknown compression method
cvs [update aborted]: reading from server: Input/output error
[PBG4-BN:Swarm/test/swarm] billn%

Do you get the same error from a fresh checkout?
