My CVS/Root file just said, "/projects/cvsroot". This was created when I did my CVS checkout on a linux terminal. I am assuming that WinCVS interpreted this to mean local, hence the error I got originally. Does that make sense? -----Original Message----- From: Arthur Barrett [mailto:arthur.barrett at march-hare.com] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2007 1:33 PM To: Flávio Etrusco Cc: Joseph Koenig; cvsnt at cvsnt.org Subject: RE: [cvsnt] cvs [diff aborted]: Local access to network share not supported (use -N to override this error) Flávio, The error message is specifically for when your sandbox is using :local: on a network share. Hence why the wording says "local access to network". A "normal" sandbox on a network share is also "not supported" as Tony pointed out - but does not generate this error (on the commercial side we do support sandboxes on network shares).
