In both cases, the affected files are touched, changed and downloaded by cvsup, i.e. we have a massive download of all files after branching. But to hell with this. I started the topic because I think something is wrong with SVN to CVS export, which upsets cvsup and causes "Checksum mismatch" errors. Is anybody willing to look at it? -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@sibptus.tomsk.ru
