Darn. :/ I had asked about this topic back in early March, search for message ID <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, if you care. I wanted to learn about maintaining a private repository, and the above URL was the sole concrete pointer. (Well, not true: someone else in that thread responded about a makefile patch, but no one else had any good ideas.) So, can the 'certain circumstances' be described, so that I might avoid them? Or is that just due to inherent wierdness in the whole CVSup process? Thanks for the feedback, in any case... > > John > -- > John Polstra > John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
