Comment 2 Richard Gregor 2004-10-26 10:25:18 UTC 
Scheduled for 4.1 fixing effort.
Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2005-01-12 13:38:26 UTC 
Might be similar problem as issue #39371.
Comment 4 Martin Entlicher 2005-02-03 15:13:33 UTC 
It works for me in NB 4.1. The action will always finish successfully.
Please verify, if it still does not work, please provide detailed
steps how to reproduce (version of client, version of server,
connection method, steps from empty user dir and empty work dir). Thanks.
Comment 5 Martin Entlicher 2005-02-04 10:58:01 UTC 
Can be reproduced with a Linux CVS server on both Windows and Linux.
Comment 6 Martin Entlicher 2005-02-04 11:05:48 UTC 
Seems to be a bug of the server (version 1.11.2 was used).

The log sent from the server:
--
M ? Log.in
M ? Log.out
E cvs [server aborted]: unknown command: watch_remove
--

It does not end with "error" response. Therefore the client keeps
waiting for the response.

Can not be fixed - bug on the cvs server. => INVALID
Comment 7 Peter Pis 2005-06-17 13:50:08 UTC 
So if there is possibility to get cvs server log, why shouldn't it be handled?
Or to use timeout for this action. This problem remains in 4.2.
Comment 8 Martin Entlicher 2005-06-20 09:34:57 UTC 
This problem will remain in *all* releases, because this is not a bug of NetBeans.
If you run this on command-line, you will encounter the same behavior.

First, it needs to be found whether a workaround is even possible and then some
special command, what would handle this would have to be written. This takes
some time, which I currently do not have. It should be fixed in CVS anyway!
Comment 9 Quality Engineering 2009-12-21 07:18:24 UTC 
This bug was reported against NetBeans IDE 6.0 or an older release, or against a non-maintained module. NetBeans team does not have enough resources to get to this issue, therefore we are closing the issue as a WONTFIX. If you are interested in providing a patch for this bug, please see our NetFIX guidelines for how to proceed. 

We apologize for any inconvenience.


Thank you.
