You did not state that you know nothing about CVS in your original
post. I am assuming that people asking about migration of CVS servers
at least have a basic knowledge of the CVS system and its operation.
Unless you do then you should not attempt to "manage" a CVS server.

Do I take this that you object to me sharing the experience with you
and outlining why you should do this or that?
Is it a real "thank you" or is it a "piss off" reply????
