Be patient! ;-) > What is a repo-copy? A repo copy is a copy of the important control files in the cvs-repository. This is done to keep the history (that means, the history of the commits) of the ports, since it is nice (and can be important) to take a look into old commit-logs from time to time. If a commiter just would create a new directory, the history is lost, since this are new files for CVS. Alex -- I need a new ~/.sig.
