Ok, you don't want developers using local repositories to commit to, only to do deltas and logs from. You want them committing to a centralized repository, you'd only use cvsup for mirror and distribution. Using CVSup should be fine, a more platform independant but much less featurefull tool might be rsync. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
