I'm seeing some very odd behavior from cvs and I wonder if others are
seeing it too.
No matter what args I pass it, cvs tells me it is an invalid option --
even the --help-options arg. All other cygwin stuff seems to be
functioning well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
% cvs -d :pserver:gnus@cvs.gnus.org:/usr/local/cvsroot login
cvs: invalid option --
Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]
where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc.
(specify --help-options for a list of options)
where command is add, admin, etc.
(specify --help-commands for a list of commands
or --help-synonyms for a list of command synonyms)
where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command
(specify -H followed by a command name for command-specific help)
Specify --help to receive this message
The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control.
For CVS updates and additional information, see
the CVS home page at http://www.cvshome.org/ or

I just installed CVS via the cygwin setup utility and have a recently
upgraded installation (cygcheck below).

Matt,
I cannot replicate that failure (I get a password prompt).
Are you invoking it from a Cygwin shell, or from CMD.exe (or COMMAND.COM?).
You might want to escape the @ sign, since under certain circumstances it's
special (i.e., it's a extended shell argument processing syntax meant to
allow arguments contained in files to be incorporated into the command line).

I've had this - a while ago I think. Try calling cvs with it's
full path...
$ /bin/cvs ...

Unfortunately, no luck. :-(

Win2k's CMD.EXE and Cygwin's bash give the same result.

Simply running "cvs a" gives the same error message. I suppose it is
time to compile from source and debug the problem.

Matt,
What does "type -a cvs" show you (from BASH)? Might you have an alias or
shell function intervening between the command line and the actual
invocation of the process?
Also, are you sure you're running Cygwin cvs? Might there be another cvs
installed on your system?

Check your .cvsrc, you may have some flags there that CVS doesn't support.
