Package: cvs
Version: 1.11.1p1-1
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice if, during a "checkout" or "update -d" operation, CVS
would better handle encountered directories for which it does not have
permission to read.
In these cases, I personally would like to see an error message about the
directory being inaccessible and then have it continue as though it simply
did not exist, almost as though I'd done "cvs release -d <directory>" on
it.
As it stands, I have to do "cvs update -d" on each individual directory
because there are occasional ones that my userid does not have permission
to access and CVS stops on the first one it encounters.

Dear CVS user,
Thanks for your interest in CVS and the bug report you have contributed [1].
Debian's cvs package has ~120 old bugs, most of them are couple of years old.
As part of a bug triage I'm doing for several packages, I would like your help
with verifying your bug is still relevant or getting your approval for closing
it.
The current cvs version in Debian is 1.12.13-8 (shared by stable, testing and
unstable).
Feel free to contact me for questions or if you need help.

It probably does still exist but no longer have the means to check.
It should be easy to verify, though.
- import a repository with some directories
- go to the CVSROOT and delete one of the directories
- do an update

Hi,
sorry, I won’t touch this (may have security implications), but
feel free to bring this up with upstream if you really desire to
(so I’m not the “bad cop” for rejecting ☺).
bye,
