In the cygwin command line, before you start xemacs.
But, have all of your CVS operations been done using the cygwin cvs or have 
you used a cvs directly from windows in this sandbox?

The reason I ask is that AFAIK the CVSNT client and cygwin cvs client may 
(probably) do not interact well together in the same sandbox, AND the messages 
below look like you are sharing a sandbox.

running under windows, and not knowing how to set the CVSROOT for cygwin, 
makes me believe that you ARE mixing CVSNT and cygwin cvs... you really need 
to ask on the cvsnt lists about that, as they see this problem a lot more than 
we do:
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt


I think I will wait until I see Arthur reply to this thread before I make any 
more comments.
