I have a customer using a (I think twice-mapped) drive as his CVS root. He's doing this: set CVSROOT=:local:P:\ Subst P: Y:\Dir1\Dir2 When he runs a tool of ours that hard-codes the cvs get, he gets the following error: cvs [checkout aborted]: Local access to network share not supported (Use -N to override this error). So, the questions are: 1) Did tricks like the above ever work? 2) When did it stop working? 3) Will setting CVSROOT=:local:Y:\Dir1\Dir2 work? 4) If the answer to #3 is "no", what version did it stop working (as I've done #3 in the not-too-distant past)? I seem to recall CVS not liking CVSROOT environment variables pointing to the root of the drive, wanting to be at least one level down.
