That's a standard CVS feature. Well, here's his original mail: | I would like to make a local change to the CVS repository (only). The | change is in the src/sys directory, to add the ppa drivers for my | zip drive. | | I know I will need to maintain a copy of the full CVS repository, but | how do I ensure that the change will remain in effect after further | changes (pulled in with CVSup)? Sure looks like he said he wanted to make a local changes to his copy of the _CVS repository_, *NOT* his copy of the _checked out source tree_. Also looks like he wanted to ensure the changes to _his local copy of the CVS repository_ weren't stomped by CVSup. Maybe you can explain the quoted material to me so I can better understand how you are right and I am wrong?
