Hi Stephane,

I may guess that exit status 256 from cvs means something that tailor
should grow up and handle. The way I use tailor (ie, just a
one-way-mirror) by definition should never raise a conflict, this is
why it doesn't already do.

Any chance of getting a little snapshot of the context? As I'm focused
on other thingie, this would be a boost for the fix :)

And, btw, how should tailor behave in such case? Would lunching a
subshell and assuming the conflict resolved by hand upon exit be
enough?

Thanks
bye, lele.
