Checkout files to the same working directory
I'd like to be able to checkout files from different locations in the repository to the same working directory. I always get complaints that the repository locations are different when I try and check the second project out in the same location as the first project. I would have thought it would be relatively easy for the information about file location to be stored in the CVS/ directory inside the working directory. Is this possible?

Not without significant redesign and reimplementation. The current design of CVS requires a one-to-one correspondence between working directories and repository directories. -Larry Jones You're going to be pretty lonely in the nursing home. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Not with CVS as it currently exists. If you look more closely at the CVS subdirectory, you'll see why: CVS/Repository says which directory in the repo the files came from, and it can't point to two directories at once. You can easily check out a *subdirectory* from a different place in the repo, but you can't mix files from two repo directories in one sandbox directory. -- | | /\ |-_|/ Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | / When I came back around from the dark side, there in front of me would be the landing area where the crew was, and the Earth, all in the view of my window.
