You can switch between CVS servers by changing the CVSROOT environment
variable. Most of the time, you don't even need to do that: once you
are in a work directory, cvs will automatically use the repository
stored in the administrative files.
The only time you need to set CVSROOT is when checking out a new
repository.
Usually, to avoid confusion, I don't even do that: I just set the
cvsroot for the few commands that need it using the -d switch. For
example:
cvs -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cvs co foo
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/bar login
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/bar co quux
... then, after that, drop the -d switch and its argument.
Does this then carry all three values as CVSROOT? are you appending or
replacing?
I assume then you have to just make sure that no two repositories are
working on a project by the same name?
