Description Luc Bourlier CLA 2004-12-10 14:59:26 EST 
I have my CVS account locked, not really your problem, even if it's a
consequence of the CVS support features. But this is an other story, and I
should know better.

Anyway, I have my CVS account locked, so, to be able to continue to work, I
changed the CVS info for all the projects in my workspace. I switched from a
login/ssh repository location, to a anonymous/pserver repository location, using
the 'change sharing...' button in the CVS page in the project properties dialog.
This solves most of my problem, synchronize, quick diff, CVS resource history
were working  again.
But the "open in compare editor" action (double-click) in the synchronize view
is not working for some files. If I try to use this action on a file which was
not modified since I switched to the pserver repository location (it was
modified before), the dialog asking for a password appears, as if the CVS info
for the file were cached, and the action still thinks it should use the ssh
repository location.

I found a workaround, I can refresh the data by re-editing the files.
But the main problem is, this is generating a lot of bad access to my CVS
account, what I try to avoid, as I'm trying to get my account reset.

I think the CVS data shouldn't be cached in this case.

Another workaround is to close the sync view and retry the synchronization.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
