Other common problems
=====================

   Here is a list of problems which do not fit into the above
categories.  They are in no particular order.

   * On Windows, if there is a 30 second or so delay when you run a CVS
     command, it may mean that you have your home directory set to
     `C:/', for example (see `HOMEDRIVE' and `HOMEPATH' in Note:
     Environment variables).  CVS expects the home directory to not
     end in a slash, for example `C:' or `C:\cvs'.

   * If you are running CVS 1.9.18 or older, and `cvs update' finds a
     conflict and tries to merge, as described in Note: Conflicts
     example, but doesn't tell you there were conflicts, then you may
     have an old version of RCS.  The easiest solution probably is to
     upgrade to a current version of CVS, which does not rely on
     external RCS programs.
