Early on in the client/server negotiation the client extracts the list of cvswrappers from the server, which is added to its list. The client then sends the list, minus the entries that were sent from the server earlier, back to the list, which adds that to its list. So the client sees client+server, and the server sees server+client (the distinction isn't so important as most processing is done server-side). On top of that, there's also temporary entries from the local .cvswrappers files. These are added per-directory by the client before it's sent to the server. cvs info doesn't show these. > But.. within my sandbox, cvs info -c cvswrappers is only showing client-side > wrappers, and not client+server as expected. > From your original dump it looks like you're actually getting both (eg. *.zip is there twice) but they're the same - your cvswrappers isn't what you think it is.
