Subject: libcvs getcwd is broken with some types of mounts

Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:49:43 -0600

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: cvs
Version: 1:1.12.13-9
Severity: important


Please see the following mail archive post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-cvs@nongnu.org/msg01497.html

Some mount types have semantics that render libcvs's getcwd broken.  I
encountered this problem on an AFS filesystem.

I have attached a patch that disables use of the internal getcwd and
prevents it from building, which fixes the problem, but I don't know
what's the "right" way to do this.
