Community technical support mailing list was retired 2010 and replaced with a professional technical support team. For assistance please contact: Pre-sales Technical support via email to sales@march-hare.com.
we addressed this problem for MacCVS users by using BBEdit to do a
search/replace over multiple files (search for 'oldserver' in all files
called Root, replace with 'newserver')
i have also used this one-liner to fix my CVS/Root files (on win2000 using
cygwin/perl):
find . -name Root -exec perl -nle 's/oldserver/newserver/; print;' -i.bak {} ;
