Description issues@www 2001-04-14 16:44:50 UTC 
I'm trying to make 'rdiff' of the 2 releases of OO CVS, but CVS fails to do
it - it spits 2 screens of C code saying "assertion failed". This happens with
CVS 1.10.3 and CVS 1.10.5 on various platforms (linuxes, BSDi).
 Exactly I'm doing  (of course I'm logged in):
cvs rdiff -r OpenOffice614 -r OpenOffice619 OpenOffice
 Others confirm the same problem with CVS client version 1.11.

Downgrading to a P3 since this is not a showstopper bug, nor is it holding up 
other people's work.

entered internally as issue pcn4505.

This occurs on the anoncvs.openoffice.org server, but not openoffice.org.
Investigating diferences in setup that may cause the assertion failure.

We have a possible fix that ops is testing.
Comment 8 Unknown 2002-01-29 23:31:42 UTC 
Okay, we've put in a fix.  No assertion failure now if you use the
long pathname included in the following example:

[taska@localhost openofficetest]$ cvs -d
:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.openoffice.org:/usr/local/anoncvs/repository
rdiff -D "2 days ago" -D "1 day ago" oo/www/www/index.html

Please reopen if you continue to have problems.
