Thank you for the replies -- the program does exactly what I want, now.
To sum up, though the repository name is given in as the first augument
to your program, you should ignore it. It's useless. Contrary to the
supposedly obvious, one must not concat the reposname and the filename
together to find the checked-in file.
Instead, the CVS server creates a temporary directory, and your program
is run with that as its PWD. The accessable files are the relative
filenames given on the command line. If you must use absoulte filenames,
concat PWD and the files with your directory seperator.
Thanks bunches. This sort of note should go in the manuals, I think.
