Whew, I'm glad - I was afraid of asking a _really_ stupid question...

You're right, that should work. But in that case, wouldn't I just be keeping two different CVS repositories (rather than two that contain the same info, and are "just" in different locations)? I wonder how the guys who work on larger projects handle that (since I doubt that they don't have local copies of their CVS repositories). I'll look into that over the next few days - maybe even with a few a few scripts, to commit all changes from my local CVS to the SF one (shouldn't be too difficult, even for somebody like me, who's "challenged" when it comes to shell scripting ;-)) > I just use the SF CVS for everything, and don't bother with a local CVS > repository.

No, speed should not be the problem. I'm not blessed with anything that's common for you guys in America (I have to make do with a 64KBit ISDN dialup line), but for a project as tiny as lrpStat, this is surely no problem. Heck, a checkout just weighs 300k, so that's no problem at all. > any particular > reason you're using a local repository instead of the SF CVS server? Well, backups mainly. From what's gone over this list lately, I surely don't want SF to be my _only_ repository. And keeping local copies (outside of CVS) just to be safe, kind of defeats the whole purpose. As it is now, I just back up the whole repository to tape or a CD, and that's it. And then, still learning the ropes with CVS, its much easier to to that locally and "just" keep the SF CVS as a remote mirror, where other people can have access, if they like. It would get even more complicated if somebody submitted a patch to the SF CVS, but since I haven's received any patches or source changes yet, I'm not too worried about that yet.
