I also make an attempt to get the file owner for locks, etc. Added 'Bad repository' error when bad repository is passed to authenticate. Repository check is now 'slash-insensitive'. Added fixes from Jonathan Gilligan. Seems a lot faster now.
WinCVS support seems to be stable.
Preliminary WinCVS support. Added 'cvs status -q' for listing status of a directory. Fixed bug in which date arguments to update caused an error. Forced reader thread to wait a bit when there's no data. Basically they didn't work.
