(perhaps it is obvious to everyone, but it seems I understood the question different to the others, thus, I want to add to the OP:) Execute the "cvs -d ... init" *after* you have untarred the repo on the new machine, not before. Then, this command will update the CVSROOT to the "newer format" (so to speak). Do not execute this command before untarring the repo. Best regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
