Description Leif Gruenwoldt 2010-06-07 16:59:04 UTC 
On Fedora 13, I can no longer use Meld for CVS diffs.

meld-1.3.1-1.fc13.noarch


Steps to reproduce:

1. Start meld from within CVS project ( $ meld . )
2. In Meld, double click on file that has changed to view the diff against CVS

Results:

$ meld .
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank you for your bug report. However, this has already been fixed in git HEAD. See: http://git.gnome.org/browse/meld/commit/?id=aa9a506099627e1d62acbe6e7c09c217d86feef5

The next release of meld will have the appropriate fix.
