No, the procedure I outlined is really against CVS practices. You cannot do this or anything like it using cvs commands. And there is no way to synchronize two active CVS servers either. You may 'automate' this outside of cvs if you have physical access to the repository from your client (which I advice against normally): 1. Going away. Run this batch file: xcopy \\server\share\mymodule c:\cvsrepo\ -e ren \\server\share\mymodule mymodule.bak 2. Coming home. run this batch file: xcopy c:\cvsrepo\mymodule \\server\share -e del /F /S /Q \\server\share\mymodule.bak Of course I assume \\server\share points to the root of your repository. Have not tested this, might need tuning. /Bo On Thu, 10 Oct 2002 00:11:54 +0200, "Javier Molina" <jmolina@[nospam]escobarenergia.com> wrote: >Looks like that might be a solution, thank you for the explanation. >Is there any more automated way, one that does not involve manually >copying the directories back and forth ?
