We recently upgraded from CVS 1.10.7 to 1.11.1p1 and now i get a
problem with one of my existing projects. When i want to edit some
file, i get en error from the cvs edit command (lines manually
broken):
| $ cvs edit assemble.c
| cvs [edit aborted]: current directory \
| (/home/rolf/progs/navier-albert/src/2+3d) contains an \
| invalid character (+,>;=\t\n)
The directory indeed contains a '+' character. With the old CVS, this
didn't caused any trouble.
Now, my questions are:
* Did this behavior changed with the new CVS version or can this be
changed while configuring CVS? I didn't found anything related to
file names in the NEWS file of CVS.
* Is there any reason to exclude the '+' character from the file
names?
* This new behavior of CVS is rather annoying, because when you are
working on third party sources, you don't always have the choice on
the directory names. So is there a way to modify CVS's behavior so
that it allows '+' in directory names again or is there a chance
that this behavior will change back in future versions?
