Don't do this! If anybody has committed changes to any files, you >will be putting incorrect information about the "base" version of your >work files. How so, will this not just look to CVS that i have modified all the source since I checked it out How is this any different that if I just edit files in the new sandbox I would check out?? I could just copy my old sandbox source over the new checked out sandbox but I am also work with a dev tool that set a work area & I'd have to reconfigre that as welll... >Rather than doing what you suggest, just write a short script to >change the contents of all CVS/Root files in your current sandbox to >point to the new server (and new login name, if your name has >changed), then continue doing updates, etc, as if nothing ever >happened. But then the Entries file in my old sandbox will point to versions that don't exist in the restored repository bcus it was from 2 days ago ?? _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
