Unless I can put `if' statements in there and test for various things about a host, it isn't suffient. I do use ~/.cvsrc, but on some hosts I want -R always and others I don't. If the "CVSREADONLYFS" environmental variable had actually been *documented* I wouldn't have added this code. By the time I discovered "CVSREADONLYFS" I was just putting the final touches on the man page. > I think this is needless divergence from the main cvs source and should be > backed out, especially since it duplicates existing functionality and reaches > into the source of another package ("../diff"). I disagree. Maybe you don't use NFS mounted home dirs across many machines where you want different functionality on them, but I do. Plus ``export CVS_OPTIONS="-f"'' has uses. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
