Hi Guys,

 I downloaded the entire CVS repository (cvs tree via ftp) to a local machine.  However, I did not see a CVSROOT directory.  This is the directory that contains all the CVS admin files when you first create a repository.  Do I need to download this directory before I can start using the repository?  Note that I want all the versions and history, that is why I downloaded the whole tree.

I did see this directory via the web interface, but not in any of the ftp files.


Thanks!
