git-cvsserver wart?

I'm a new git user, so if I'm doing something boneheaed - sharp kicks are welcome.

For reasons I won't go into, the ability to use cvs clients is darn near crucial. Although most development is local (where I install / use git), pulling down the latest updates and pushing up minor changes via CVS is helpful at remote locations where I don't want to maintain clients. Git with git-cvsserver makes this very nice. Thanks to all!

Now, the problem I ran into:

code/ntropy> cvs up Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/local/bin/git-cvsserver line 761. closing dbh with active statement handles cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) code/ntropy> cvs -v Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)

Doing a 'cvs up -dP' (or either of the two individually) seems to work fine.

so, it's an old client, a newer client doesn't have this problem. a bare 'cvs up' works fine on: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.17 (client/server)

Just to be clear, it appears everything gets updated with the workaround - but there might be something else amiss, so I thought it was worth mentioning.

p.s. I'm assuming the following statement is harmless (it's always present): closing dbh with active statement handles
