Related to what Oliver said below... I find that if I do a "cvs checkout foo/somefile" then it will create a directory "foo" in the current directory and place the file in there. The "foo" directory will also contain a CVS directory. But no CVS directory will be created adjacent to the foo directory, so "non-r" chacl won't allow me to set permissions on the repository root (which is one level up from the top level foo directory). When the repository is set up to disallow all access as default that makes it impossible to use this approach (setting read access on the foo folder doesn't work because its parent folder - the root - has read deny). Is there some workaround for this - some simple command to checkout a single file AND get the top-level CVS directory too? /Jakob "Oliver Giesen" <ogware at gmx.net> wrote in message news:xn0e8x8fo67fxg004 at news.cvsnt.org... > Tony Hoyle wrote: > >> bwhicks at aep.com wrote: >> cvs chacl -a read,nowrite,notag,nocreate,nocontrol test >> > >> > without doing a full checkout of the whole 30 gigs of stuff?
