Mostly correct -- it's opertions that modify the RCS files in the repository that are dangerous: commit, tag, admin, import, etc. Add does not modify RCS files, nor does checkout, update, etc. However, since CVS remembers the CVSROOT used for the initial checkout and uses that saved CVSROOT for all subsequent CVS operations (unless explicitly overridden), it's quite inconvenient to use different CVSROOTs for different operations. > I originally noticed mention of this NFS issue in > the CVS Manual, but since then have not been able > to relocate it.

I don't recall it being mentioned in the manual -- you must have seen it somewhere else. -Larry Jones I think we need to change the rules. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
