Otherwise, how are re supposed to find the differences between our quota(1) and theirs? And what if it's desirable to update to a newer one later on? If it was imported, it is a trivial matter. If it's been spammed onto the head like this, you have to reinvent the wheel over and over again. Damn, it sounds like I'm going to have to write that 'Care and Feeding of CVS' that Jordan asked me for.. BTW: Again, I most strongly reccomend that people be familiar with the first part of the CVS FAQ. (~src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/FAQ). It describes this kind of thing from a user's perspective. The horrible detail about administering the stuff occupies 90% of the FAQ, so there's no need to panic when you see the size of the thing. :-) In particular, section 2 (most, but not all of it) and section 3H and 3P. 3H deals with importinf stuff, and 3P deals with merging the import onto the mainline. There's loads of other useful stuff hidden in section 3 if you have time. -Peter
