I don't know about the original poster, but where I work every filesystem you have access to is a remote filesystem via NFS or a windows share. While you can get access to a local hard drive the local drives aren't backed up. Since company policy prohibits placing anything of any importance on a drive that isn't backed up you pretty much have to place any repositories on a remote filesystem. So anything that doesn't work on a remote filesystem just doesn't get used. It would not surprise me if other companies had similar policies. Michael
