It is extremely convenient, even if it is a little 'unclean'. With this in place, I can use the following shell-script #!/bin/sh # Usage: changerep <repository> <paths> REPOSITORY=$1; shift; for repository in $(find $* -path \*/CVS/Repository) do echo $REPOSITORY > $repository done and be ready to do a 'cvs update' to get up to date. This is especially convenient for sources where changes has been made without checking out from the repository in the first place. Changing repositories is something that is necessary fairly often if you have mirrored repositories, so I would guess many people have a similar script (or know how to write the appropriate command-line.)
