The only reason CVS should upload every file is if their timestamps have all changed since your last checkout/update.

If your CVS client is running on Windows, then there was a quirky bug involving daylight savings time and Windows timestamps that would cause CVS to think that all files were modified during half the year.

This bug was finally squashed in 1.12.10, I believe.  If you are using a Windows client, I suggest you upgrade to 1.12.10 or better.

I'm closing this issue.  Please reopen if this does not solve your problem.

This is more a misfeature than a bug, but it can still hit pretty hard:

I'm updating a fairly large repository against a remote server using the :ext: method over an 512/128 ADSL line. The update takes a very long time, and using strace I discovered that the client apparently uploads every modified file to the server, presumably to compare it to the repository version on the server side.

This is very unfortunate over asymmetric connections - it'd be a lot better if the modified files were downloaded to the client and compared there instead. (I figure that could also reduce the total network traffic quite a lot too since a merged version can be produced on the client without additional data from the server.)

The cvs client version is 1.12.9. The version on the server is unknown but it's the one currently (Nov 21 2005) in use at subversions.gnu.org.
