cvs -d "$CVSROOT" makes little sense... cvs uses $CVSROOT by default > I describe all this because I dunno if you might need this information to answer me the following question: > > I thought that the CVS-Tree LOCAL and on the SERVER are IDENTICAL (after I did an update). > > But on the server the files end with ",v" and have all the comments and version stuff inside. > > I now know that these files are the rcs files (the backbone of the cvs?). more or less.

Do I have to to do an cvs-checkout on the server and cvs-update everytime a client did commit something? > > Or can I say to the server somehow to keep automatically the rcs stuff seperate in one dir and an "client-like-copy" of the cvs-repository in another dir?
