[Bug 1413084] Re: cvsps chokes on servers that print more than one "M" response to "version" command

[Richard Hansen]

Here's a revised debdiff.  The diff is the same as the tip commit of the
lp:~a7x/ubuntu/vivid/cvsps/bug1413084 bzr branch, which I have proposed
for merging (I hope that is correct procedure...).

THANK YOU SO MUCH for sponsoring!

It would be great to SRU this.  Do you think that would be acceptable?
(After it has been merged into vivid, of course.)

Title:
  cvsps chokes on servers that print more than one "M" response to
  "version" command

Status in cvsps package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in cvsps package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  If the CVS server prints more than on "M" response line to the
  "version" command, cvsps prints "cvs_direct: protocol error reading
  version" and fails to read the repository.

  For example, cvsps does not like the following exchange:

  Client: version
  Server: M Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13 (client/server)
  Server: M with CVSACL Patch 1.2.5 (cvsacl.sourceforge.net)
  Server: ok

  I know that cvsps has been deprecated upstream in favor of cvs-fast-
  export, but it is still used by 'git cvsimport'.
