IF (a big if) I can make a "cvs.dll" that CVS clients use to access all the files, then changes like this would be much easier since nobody would be accessing the CVS metadata directory/files directly. In particular, I would like to experiment with storing all the CVS metadata in NTFS extended file attributes attached to the files/directories. Then there wouldn't need to be "CVS" subdirectories at all for Windows NT/2000/XP clients. In addition, the clients would automatically be able to detect moving/copying/renaming of files. But that can't happen as long as: (1) so many programs are directly dependent on the contents of these files (2) people need to manually change the metadata (for example, when Tony gave me a CVS account, I had to change all my "Root" files to contain bsmith at cvs.cvsnt.org instead of cvs at cvs.cvsnt.org so I didn't lose my local changes). - Brian _______________________________________________ Cvsnt mailing list Cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
