I had not upgraded to the current version till just now, so I was
running 2.0.19 with your last patch (adding an extract part to the AND
statement after
                 (> (tramp-time-diff (current-time) tramp-last-cmd-time) 60))
on line 5299).

Anyway doing a find file
  /plink:address@hidden:public_html/test.html
I noticed that I was getting prompted for a password twice (again an  
 echo are you awake
statement was triggering a second prompt for a password. An extract of
the debug buffer which continues from a session last used 24+ hours
ago is appended. 

I have just upgraded to 2.023, and your latest patch may have
addressed this issue.

For some reason cvs on my linux box failed to pull down the changes
(using
 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/tramp update tramp
) so I went to the WEB page, thinking I would browse the source for
changes, anyway, 
 http://www.nongnu.org/tramp/#Obtaining%20%3csmall%3eTRAMP%3c%2fsmall%3e 
could do with an update (I'm not sure if you take care of the page).
There are some examples for using CVS

  Or follow the example session below: 

  ] cd ~/emacs
  ] cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/tramp login

  (Logging in to address@hidden)
  CVS password: (just hit RET here)
  ...

  ] cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/tramp co tramp

  You should now have a directory ~/emacs/tramp containing the latest version 
of TRAMP. You can fetch the latest updates from the
  repository by issuing the command: 

  ] cd ~/emacs/tramp
  ] cvs update -d

Personally I've been using 
 cd ~/emacs
 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/tramp update tramp
(on Windows or Linux) as I do not have the CVSROOT environment
variable set.

I would suggest that the page is updated to either get people to set
the CVSROOT, or to specify the root on the command for update.


Cheers,

Douglas.
