when using CVS as version control :

"computing changelog" operation is failing when a file (merged to the current
branch) is initialy created (revision 1.1) in another branch (can be HEAD) that
is being compiled. This is due to CVS wich return error 1 when performing 'log'
command on that type of file :
cvsnt server: nothing known about xxxx.java
ERROR: cvs exited with error code 1

the job is permanently in failure after that.
