Attempting to check out the latest Boost I am being stopped by:

I got this last night as well, and now I get: cvs update: [11:54:03] waiting for martin_wille's lock in /cvsroot/boost/boost/tools/build/v2/test/m1-03 CVS has now thwarted my last four attempts to check out. I wonder if "subversion" has been considered as an alternative? IMHO it is well worth playing with. I have used it with excellent results, the subversion team has preserved the interface of CVS and fixed many issues that I had come to accept as the facts of life (takes forever to update/diff, can't version directory structure, lock problems...) Maybe I'm the only one feeling CVS pain, but if there were interest I could easily import boost into a publicly availably subversion repository for people to play with. -- troy d. straszheim
