They are in no particular order. 14 15 16* On Windows, if there is a 30 second or so delay when you run a <small>CVS</small> command, it may mean that you have your home directory set to ‘<tt>C:/</tt>’, for example (see <code>HOMEDRIVE</code> and <code>HOMEPATH</code> in [[cvs: All environment variables which affect CVS#All environment variables which affect CVS|Environment variables]]). <small>CVS</small> expects the home directory to not end in a slash, for example ‘<tt>C:</tt>’ or ‘<tt>C:\cvs</tt>’. 17 18 19* If you are running <small>CVS</small> 1.9.18 or older, and <code>cvs update</code> finds a conflict and tries to merge, as described in [[cvs: Conflicts example#Conflicts example|Conflicts example]], but doesn’t tell you there were conflicts, then you may have an old version of <small>RCS</small>. The easiest solution probably is to upgrade to a current version of <small>CVS</small>, which does not rely on external <small>RCS</small> programs. 20 21This document was generated on <i>a sunny day</i> using [http://www.nongnu.org/texi2html/ <i>texi2html</i>]. 22
