RE: [h-e-w] Re: PCL-CVS losing *cvs* buffer

[Nick Sieger]

I've had something similar happen to me occasionally.  I usually get a
pcl-cvs buffer that is named *cvs-commit* after I've killed the *cvs*
buffer and then executed a new cvs-update.  Presumably there is a
leftover *cvs-commit* buffer at that time, and pcl-cvs's algorithm for
reusing an existing buffer picks it up, instead of recreating *cvs*?

Yes, Michael Kifer reported the same problem a while back and I've been
tracking it down since, but rather slowly (I can't reproduce the
problem,
which makes it slow to start with).

Thanks for reporting the problem.  I'll keep you updated
with my progress on it.
