We are in the process of moving our cvs repository (pserver) for reasons of size and speed, and have so far asked our CVS users to ensure everything is checked in to the existing repository, remove the existing working copies then modify their CVSROOT or -d options and check out again from the address of the new repository (which is actually a mount point for the moment from the old one, until everyone sets up correctly, then it will be copied to its proper location at a convenient point).
Some of our developers are complaining that this is going to take them too long (don't ask, I've already had the argument with them). Is there a utility available anywhere to perform global changes to the cvs metadata in a users working copy. For instance change the entry in cvs/root from ":pserver:user@oldcvs:/cvs/cvsroot" to ":pserver:user@newcvs:/cvs/cvsroot". I can imagine that someone somewhere has done this before. If such a thing were available, it may just save me a few headaches.
