The work on this started. This will be implemented as an options. I will
notify you when we finish this.

I think this is really useful option. And we will implement it as
configuration option.
However, I not think that we can make this fast. Since sometimes we
access the /BASE folder directly. That means that currently plug-in
not compatible with this option. We will fix this in the nearest time.
I will change status of your ticket as accepted. This way I will
notify you when we make this.
Thank you for information.

Request for enhancement:

For some time, CVSNT has supported the -z option to "cvs edit", which
causes the files stored in CVS/Base to be compressed using gzip. This has
the big advantage that e.g. Visual Studio's "Find in Files" function does
not accidentally find one of those files, causing the user to accidentally
edit the wrong file.

Since I updated TortoiseCVS to use this option, we no longer have the
problem with users accidentally editing the wrong file. However, the CVS
SCC Proxy does not specify the -z option to "cvs edit", so now we have the
problem again.

I suggest that either

a) the plugin always uses -z if the CVS client is CVSNT 2.0.26 or greater
(this is the best solution)

b) add a preference to enable/disable -z (not really a good solution,
IMHO)
