The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) users may experience difficulty with the CVS/Root files that exist in their source tree. the CVS/Root file must reflect the change in the host name that is used to resolve the computer from one LAN to the another. Here, the CVS/Roots' file contents changing utility is described.
CVS introduction
the Concurrent Versioning System, is a client-server free software revision control system in the field of software development. Version control system software keeps track of all work and all changes in a set of files, and allows several developers to collaborate. The CVS is sued to track the changes for the clients' code and also allows the all the developers to work on the same code.
the normal check-out process gives the code code from CVS. in all of the directories in the code's source tree, subdirectories will most probably be created by the CVS software used. files that describe the files retrieved will be created by the CVS client. Other information includes the the name of the module from which it retrieved them, and most importantly a file named "Root" is also created. This root contains the connection information for the CVS client to automatically reconnect to the CVS server to get file updates.
