Ahh forgot about that one.

Basically if you try to do local mode to a network drive you'll get a 
fatal error:

cvs [version aborted]: Local access to network share not supported (Use 
-N to override this error).

You can supress the error using cvs -N, which allows those who insist on 
using network shares to go on doing so.  Lockserver is switched off by 
default in local mode (I considered making it fatal to use a network 
share without a lockserver... maybe I still will...)

eg.

C:\>cvs -d //spock-xp/d$/repo version
cvs [version aborted]: Local access to network share not supported (Use 
-N to override this error).

C:\Documents and Settings\tmh>cvs -N -d //spock-xp/d$/repo version
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.25 (client/server)
