I just *have* to react! If you are using the "local" protocol from the client then you are effectively *bypassing* the server since it will not be contacted at all! All your CVS operations will be executed by your CVS *client* application directly on the repository files! This is why you must enter a file system path to the repository instead of its server name in the call. THe "local" protocol is really no protocol at all, it is just telling the local cvs client to go ahead and do whatever it likes with the actual files in the repository completely disregarding all configuration on the server!!!!! In my view local should not ever be used and should really be removed from the cvs client totally, possibly having an enabling flag in the registry to switch it on for the rare occations when someone *who knows what he is doing* want to do low-level admin tests. The only valid use for local in the early days was to use CVS *without* any server running and in a *single* user context, plus the one time operation of creating a new empty repository. The latter use is now not needed since this is much better done from the Control Panel. HTH /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
