CVS Limits

["Pete Clarke" <pete@devilincarnate.eclipse.co.uk>]

Hi there,

I have a CVS repository (hosted on Debian Sarge 3.1), and one of the 
directories has grown in size from a few thousand files, to over 11,000.
The result of this is, if a wide ranging change is made, the CVS client 
throws a fit and errors with a protocol error - too many parameters.
This may not be the place to ask, but does anyone know what the actual limit 
is? And is it per repository, or on a directory-wide basis?
I guess if it's a directory limit, I can arrange to have the files 
segregated - but I am not the only user of the repository so that'd have to 
be agreed internally.

Cheers
