If you want to begin work on a file or project, simply drag it to a location on your local workstation and you are ready to begin work.

If you have projects from other CVS or CVSNT repositories on the internet, then you can add those as well. Once a repository is defined it remains in your list of remembered servers for use in the future.

Workspace Manager solves this problem by allowing you to browse any registered server, it even automatically discovers all the CVS Suite servers already defined on your network for you.

Once you find the files or project that you want to work on, simply drag them to a location on your PC and your workspace is created. If you want to checkout a branch, drag the appropriate tree icon instead.
