[Cvsnt] How many repositoreis can CvsNt server typically handle

[Anders Truelsen]

Hi Bo

We have a couple of large projects that has there own cvs servers, and a
couple of locales that has local servers, but the rest of us share a
server.

The main advantage of separate repositories is that access control is
easier that way, one group pr. repository, with full access.

Regards,
anders

Anders,
why do you run a separate repository for each project?
This is not the standard way as I have read the CVS usage docs.
After a while you will get past the 64 limit and then what?

Storing each project as a module in a single repository or didviding
them among a limited set of repositories each handling a class of
projects (say customer based or similar) makes more sense to me.
But you may have a special setup of course....

Hi Bo

We're currently hosting about 30 repositories (one for each active
project in the house) on our CVS server, so the for me the question
makes perfectly go sense as stated :-)

To answer your question as asked:
Max number of repositories for CVSNT = 64

But also:
I suspect that your question comes from a misconception that I have
seen a number of times. People tend to confuse repositories and
modules.
Repositories are the separate storage areas for modules, in theory
(and many times in practice) a CVS server could work well with only
one repository.
Modules are the actual 'projects' that are checked in to the CVS
server. Each module is separately stored in a repository and contains
all files and folders needed for a project. There is no limit to the
number of modules that can be handled (except disk space and such).
