1. Many parts of the CVS code require the root to be an absolute path -- allowing a relative path would require either changing all that code or adding code to the server to convert the relative path into an absolute path. 2. In many environments, it's not possible to set the server's working directory to anything in particular. 3. Since the server frequently runs as root, it would open a huge security hole if the user could get the server to run in an different directory. -Larry Jones It's either spectacular, unbelievable success, or crushing, hopeless defeat!
