I don't remember. I'm not sure CVSROOT/cvswrappers isn't sourced only for a local
client.

Not exactly. You may notice some effects on the server (read, 'archive files in the
repository')
but the processing was done by the client.
I believe the order they are processed is CVSROOT/cvswrappers (when processed),
~/.cvswrappers,
$CVSWRAPPERS, wrappers specified on the command line. Meaning that the order of
precedence is
the REVERSE of that - if '-W !' is specified on the command line, it will clear the
list of
wrappers created by the previous three sources.

No. I think there is some confusion here. CVSWRAPPERS only works to set the keyword
substitution and perhaps merge mode of a file during the initial 'cvs import' or 'cvs
add' of a
file. These can also be changed after the fact using the 'cvs admin' command. During
commit,
checkout, update, and export, if the keyword substition mode happens to be '-kb', i.e.
binary
file sustitution mode, i.e. no keyword substitution, no \r\n conversion will be done
either, if
it would have been required otherwise (e.g. checkout from/to some heterogeneous
combination of
UNIX, Mac, and Windows). If the merge mode is 'COPY', no merging will be performed,
i.e. a new
version of the file is copied into the archive in the repository entire rather than
attempting to
do intelligent merging using diff and patch.

Hope this helped.
