CVS Root file

If a project is under CVS control, every directory in the project will have a CVS folder which contains 3 files:
  • Entries
  • Repository
  • Root
The 'Entries' file contains an entry for every directory under the current directory which is under CVS control

The 'Repository' file contains details of the repository path

The 'Root' file contains details for CVSROOT.
:pserver:<user_name>:<password>@:<cvs_path>
The password is optional and ideally should not be used. However, it can be put in here if needed. </cvs_path></password></user_name>
