What *can* be done, however, is to check out the top of the repository to create the sandbox copy, which will include CVSROOT as a submodule. The name of the top of the repository for checkout purposes is . (that is a single period). Example from the command line: cvs -d :sspi:cvsserver:/repo checkout . (please make sure that the period at the end is included and replace /repo with the correct repository name from the setup of the server. You will need the -d parameter for a first checkout to specify the CVSROOT connection string. When you later work inside the sandbox you can omit the -d parameter. -- /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
