Jeeva, this is where your experimental portion of your repository comes into play. I always recommend that you set up a directory in the repository, say $CVSROOT/cvs-test, with the understanding that anything in that directory can and will be deleted without notice. This allows you to experiment and see exactly what would happen in this case. I suspect Larry's probably right, though - it's probably not something you want to do ;-)
