Panagiotis,

thanks a lot for the feedback! cvsserver has mainly been tried/debugged with a few repositories, mainly the moodle.git repository that we host, which is an import from a CVS repo.

Hmmm. 100% reproduceable -- looking at it now.

I thought we had gotten rid of those. In any case, I don't see that error, and it's just a silly warning from DBI, as we are using cached statements. As it happens when cvsserver is shutting down, it doesn't actually break the protocol.

That warning is harmless, and always there. I did look once at implementing gzip compression, but in some cases it implies creating extra temp files to calculate the size, so I've opted to leave it for some other day.

OTOH, we could declare that we handle it, and never actually send a gzipped file ;-) as long as we can handle gzipped content from the client.

cheers,
martin
