If you use WinCvs there is a ChangeRoot macro to do just this. Otherwise you can just traverse the sandbox tree and open all CVS/Root files and modify the values there. I did thta with a small executable a while back when we changed the structure of our CVS repositories, at thta time we merged repositories so we had to change both the Root and Repository files at the same time. Simple task. /Bo On Tue, 17 Feb 2004 13:38:57 -0500, Eric Nicholson <enicholson at parappsys.com> wrote: >We've just had a server crash (hardware failure, not cvs related), >fortunately we recovered all of the CVS data and I've migrated it to a >backup server.
