If you have ideas for improvements, or if you have written some extensions to this package, I would like to hear from you. I hope that you find this package useful!

Below is a partial list of currently known problems with pcl-cvs version 1.05.

Commit causes Emacs to hang
Emacs waits for the `cvs commit' command to finish before you can do anything. If you start a background job from the loginfo file you must take care that it closes `stdout' and `stderr' if you do not want to wait for it. (You do that with `background-command &>- 2&>- &' if you are starting `background-command' from a `/bin/sh' shell script). Your emacs will also hang if there was a lock file in the repository. In this case you can type C-g to get control over your emacs again.
Name clash in Emacs 19
This is really a bug in Elib or the Emacs 19 distribution. Both Elib and Emacs 19.6 through at least 19.10 contains a file named `cookie.el'. One of the files will have to be renamed, and we are currently negotiating about which of the files to rename.
Commands while cvs-update is running
It is possible to type commands in the *cvs* buffer while the update is running, but error messages is all that you will get. The error messages should be better.
Unexpected output from CVS
Unexpected output from CVS confuses pcl-cvs. It will currently create a bug report that you can mail to me. It should do something more civilized.
