Thanks, I'll try it when I get home. >Maybe the problem is, that you try to read in CVS repo in a existing git >repo. I remember, that this wasn't working - why? I don't know.

By itself, simulavrxx would not be enough. --- Michael Hennebry henne...@cableone.net "War is only a hobby." ---- Msg sent via CableONE.net MyMail - http://www.cableone.net _______________________________________________ Simulavr-devel mailing list Simulavr-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/simulavr-devel
