Hello, I've thought about, but not prototyped the idea of accomplishing remote/distributed development with CVS by cloning the master repository for each of the remote sites, and then sync by way of vendor branches. Any thoughts about that?

So in that case commits take little longer, but you can commit them to the local server and not change the CVSROOT for committing to Master server.

You still need a live connection to the remote server via the proxy, so in the instance of poor network infrastructure there is no gain (In practice I suspect there's little gain in the case of a good network infrastructure either, since almost everything requires a live link to the repository - you can't really proxy very much). > I love CVSNT for its integrated authentication with Windows and easy > management of access control through windows file system.

It's relatively easy to write but all it gives you is the ability to use the same server in your root files rather than specifying different ones. True distributed development is much harder and will be in a future cvsnt release at some point.
