The client/server protocol is used for all of the non-local cvs repository access. It is documented in doc/cvsclient.texi in any recent version of cvs. > >I have no fundamental objections to someone adding client/server > >protocol code to deal with passing the -R switch to the remote > >server and doing the right thing. > > This sounds like it should be easy for CVS-over-ssh, hard for > pserver... but I know nothing about the code. It would be the same for both :pserver: and :ext: access methods as they would end up using the same code paths for this protocol extension. I have not actually bothered to scope the task to determine how easy or hard it might be to implement. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
