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.

> server doesn't support gzip-file-contents

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,
