2.9 Remote repositories
Your working copy of the sources can be on a
different machine than the repository. Using CVS
in this manner is known as client/server
operation. You run CVS on a machine which can
mount your working directory, known as the
client, and tell it to communicate to a machine
which can mount the repository, known as the
server. Generally, using a remote
repository is just like using a local one, except that
the format of the repository name is:
| | :method:user@hostname:/path/to/repository
|
The details of exactly what needs to be set up depend
on how you are connecting to the server.
If method is not specified, and the repository
name contains `:', then the default is ext
or server, depending on your platform; both are
described in 2.9.2 Connecting with rsh.
