I think the preferred solution would be to run IIS and CVSWEB on the server
which has the CVS repository.
Generally accessing the CVS repository over a network share is seen as a bad
thing.
Some people even recommend disallowing network shares on the disk which
holds the repository so you can't do this....
If you really must, I'd stick with the workaround you have, and I'll make a
note of it in the doco...
Regs,
Arthur
