Copied 2 checked out sandboxes from different repositories on the same server to a TEMP folder. Call them AOS and CMM. 2. Created the CVS subfolder with the files Root, Repository and Entries 3. Populated these files as described, the Root file got the setting from the AOS sandbox 4. Opened a command prompt in the TEMP folder and issued cvs update. 5. The result was an update for only the CMM sandbox... 6. Then I changed the Root file to have the contents of the CMM Root 7. Another cvs update now did a complete update of both sandboxes! 8. Then I added another sandbox UTIL to the TEMP folder and edited the Entries file by adding the UTIL line last 9. CVS update managed to go into the two earlier sandboxes but not the UTIL one. 10. Then I checked the Entries file and saw a missing final linefeed, so I adedd it. 11. CVS update now traversed UTIl and AOS but not CMM, instead a message "there is no version here" was output. Not simple to make out what all this means except you are not really supposed edit the metadata by hand, I suppose.... /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
