I don't think you understood what we are doing. We are checking out a
directory on our Solaris box and then accessing the same directory
from the Windows NT box via Samba. This allows us to compile on all
platforms and only check in when it compiles on all successfully. The
original bug was about doing checkins from the same workspace from two
different platforms. We are not doing that. We don't even have CVS
for NT right now.

I would just like to have the flexibility to be able to do all my
testing on all my platforms before having to check it in.

The tgt directory used to be in the repository but it was removed to
increase the efficiency of check outs. I am not sure why the tgt
directory in the repository would cause problems -- it didn't before.
