Do not run "cvs import" on RCS files; you'll end up versioning the RCS files themselves, which is probably not what you want. Instead, just copy the RCS files into your CVS repository, in whatever shape your source tree demands. Then write your modules database to suit. >--- End of forwarded message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
