I just started using the CVS Repositories from Eclipse. However,
It keeps giving me this following error message. I am using CVSNT 2.5.03
and if anyone knows how to disable/enable this prefix feature
please let me know.

"Error Validating localtion: "CVSNT
repository':pserver:cvsuser@kyushu:/myfolder' is congiured to use a
repository
prefix. HOwever, CVSNT does not always properly communicate resource paths
in this mode resulting in the failure of some specialized Eclipse CVS..."

Sounds like Eclipse is telling you not to use CVSNT.

I've heard CVSNT mangles the cases (as in uppercase, lowercase) of
filenames, while the CVS protocol itself is supposed to be case sensitive,
which can cause problems.
