thanks

Hi,

Steve has told you about the need for the working copy to be part
of the checkout you operate on already. (Funnily enough, when
descending, when no explicit (-d global option) repo is set,
it can access multiple repos during one operation, though.)

As for $CVSROOT, it's used as a last resort, so if you're outside
and it's set to the correct repo, it will of course work.

HOWEVER, I am of the opinion that the presence of the environment
variable CVSROOT is a grave mistake. The mechanism to either use
info from ./CVS/Root or a -d global option is enough, and too many
people think they can override that by just setting the environment
variable (I do user support in #cvs on IRC, ask me…). So please do
us a favour and unset it ;-)

bye,
//mirabilos
PS: Can I please close this bug?
