doeos anyone else think this is silly? besides which this is webdevelopment,
the http server's config/paths etc matter ... so how do the files inside the CVS
repository know which server is using them?
also have you ever looked at the contents of a repository? its full of *,v files
which are not usuable as-is.
direct access to the files in your CVS repository is a BAD IDEA... unless
of course you are a certified wizard in which case I'll just shut up ;-)
instead write an automation script to update/export/roll-out your
application.... actually thinking about it a friend of mine setup CVS once
so that checking in automatically caused a test-server to be updated to
the latest version... (can't remember how he did it)...
that sounds more like what you want.
