You'd like that, wouldn't you? Heck, *I* would have liked that, but it
doesn't seem to be true (unless some other error I'm committing is killing
me off). The cvs-supfile tells me to set default release to cvs, but when
I tried that, it seems to be giving me a checked out cvcs image, not the
actual cvs archive I wanted.
I think here we have a communications problem, because I don't have a good
enough word for what I want. I don't want a directory I can immeidately
begin to read, I want something I can point the cvs executeable at, and
have it check out the directory for me. I want the checkout (and all the
other commands) to have a strictly local effect.
That's not what the cs-supfile seems to be doing to me. OTOH, if you tell
me that you're *sure* you got that right, then I'll believe you and begin
looking at the rest of my cvsup file.
I seem to remember hasving something like "." in the variable, but my
memory is a bit shaky on this.
