sharing cvs root?

My boss seems to think it would be a good idea to share our CVS root so we can easily browse it. I don't think this is a good idea... can anyone give me the pro's or con's of doing this? We have our cvs repository located on a linux box, and are using winCVS to do our checkouts/updates/commits,

checking who has a file checked out?

How can I tell what user(s) have a certain file or module checked out of cvs? We've never needed to find out before now, so I never worried about it Is the user required to perform a cvs edit to mark the file for there to be a way to tell who's using a certain file? Or is there a way to

RE: CVS Reporting

I'm also looking for a way to create a report of all cvs comments for a date range... I checked out cvs2cl.pl, and it looks promising, but I have one problem. cvs2cl.pl seems to only report information on the modules that you have checked out... is there any way to view the changes for _every_

listing symbolic links recursively, with dir listing

I've just imported a directory structure into CVS that has a lot of symbolic links in it. I've written a script to restore these links from a file that lists what they are and where they point. However, I'm having trouble finding all the links now. I need to be able to recursively list all the

cvswrappers - case sensitivity

I've put a few file extensions into the cvswrappers file so that the files get correctly entered into CVS as binary files. However, it has recently come to my attention that this file is case sensitive (?) Is there a way to tell cvs to ignore case, or do I just add every extension in there

Ok, I've moved the CVS files from one server to the other, and set up the proper pserver stuff in the inetd.conf file... I've got the passwd file there and everything. I can do a cvs login, but if I try to do anything else, it gives me an error message: cvs server: cannot open

still having problems

Well, I looked at the archives, I looked at the FAQ, but it's still doing it... I mispoke before apparently... I'm still getting the /root/.cvsignore error. I have the -f in inetd.conf So, according to the FAQ, this means the HOME variable is being set, right? So what's the easiest way to fix

CVS log

Is there some sort of (very basic) text log w/CVS besides the change log(s)? For example, is there a way to log _only_ the checkin time and user, and nothing else? (this would be in addition to the usual change logs..) We just want a sort of snapshot on the day's activities. Or perhaps this is

versions

When I commit changes to a CVS file, it seems to want to increment the first decimal character every time. ie, I check out version 1.1.1.1, make some changes and check it back in when it's checked back in, it becomes version 1.2 how can I change that so it increments a different value? like

another question

another newbie question.. regarding the web-site CVSing again. I was reading the dox about the binary files stuff, so I imported my htdocs directory using the -kb option. Now, when I get stuff out of CVS (using the winCVS client), it says all the files are binary files. However, they still
