OK, in a situation where you are the single user of a module on the server you can actually do as follows: 1) Install CVSNT on the laptop (already done, I believe) 2) Copy the module folder in the repsoitory from the server to the laptop 3) Move the module folder on the server from the repository root to some location outside the CVS repository (for safe keeping) 4) Change the root of the checked out sandbox using the TCL macro ChangeRoot(GUI) in WinCvs to point at your local server and repository. 5) Work to your heart's delight while on the road and commit as you used to. These changes will now land in your local CVSNT server. 6) When you get back home just copy the Module folder from your laptop repository back to the server repository. 7) Then reverse the root change in 4 above to now point to the server. Done... This is of course only doable if you are the *single* user of this module on the server. By moving it out from the repository you guarantee that noone else will commit any changes while you are on the road and so you only need copy back the module when you get home. /Bo On Wed, 9 Oct 2002 22:26:43 +0200, "Javier Molina" <jmolina@[nospam]escobarenergia.com> wrote: >I have been using CVS for a few months now and >I don't know how I could ever work without it.
