I have about 30 projects in my workspace from 10 different CVS hosts. Today, the GNOME CVS server is being moved, and so because of this they are currently rejecting logins. While trying to do a synchronize on my workspace, if I hit the Cancel button when the GNOME server asks for my password, the entire synchronize operation is cancelled. Ideally, I would like to have it continue synchronizing the projects on the other servers if one of them is cancelled by the authentication failure.
If this is too difficult to implement, then a team action to close all projects coming from a given CVS host would help to work around this problem.
This is not minor. I shouldn't have to fiddle around with my shared projects just because one of the servers does not accept my login temporarily. My workaround was to go to the CVS Repositories view and modify the 'Host' property of the affected connections to point to an inexistent host (I appended '-off'). This works because "Cannot locate host" is only written to the log.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
