I don't recall it being explicitly mentioned. However, the cvs-1.11.16/src/sanity.sh uses th is in many tests including the basica test, so I don't think of it as being all that secret. *Finally* I get it. "." refers to "$CVSROOT/." Doh! I tend to forget that, at least as far as "cvs checkout" is concerned, "Project" is pretty much equivalent to "any directory under $CVSROOT". I.e. cvs checkout -d top . and cvs checkout -d top ././/.///CVSROOT/.././ and even (lo and behold) cvs checkout -d top '' have the exactly same effects. Actually, the above was a bit of an overstatement. Maybe it should be rephrased as "Project" is pretty much equivalent to "any directory under $CVSROOT, or a module mentioned in $CVSROOT/modules" kj _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
