Getting Started

cvschroot

cvschroot can be used whenever the location of your CVS repository changes. So, if you have checked out something from CVS, you can use this script to change all CVS Root file and Repository files (rather than ditching your current copy and checking out a fresh copy from the new location of the CVS repository). For example, suppose you have the directory very_important checked into the CVS repository at nouba.ucsd.edu:/net/local/AppLeS/cvsroot. Then this CVS repository gets moved to nouba.ucsd.edu:/home/cvsroot. To fix your checked out copy of very_important, execute the following:

cd very_important
cvschroot nouba.ucsd.edu:/home/cvsroot
