No, it can't (well, there is the "backup" option...), however... In my opinion, if the user wants to mantain changes across releases of a code base, then they should import that code base into _their own_ repository. Using anoncvs to maintain local changes is just an exercise in poor source code management. What anoncvs _is_ useful for, IMO, is reading logs and viewing diffs. This is quite feasible with FreeBSD's current offerings (especiall the cvsweb stuff...) -- save the ancient forests - http://www.bayarea.net/~thorpej/forest/ -- Jason R.
