That reply was not quite accurate. I should have said, "will recurse into all of the existing subdirectories *that appear to be working directories*". If a subdirectory doesn't contain a CVS subdirectory, CVS will not recurse into it. > Is this behavior limited to a single CVS repository?

Yes, the algorithm is the same, and the subdirectories can come from any number of different repositories. -Larry Jones Fortunately, that was our plan from the start. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
