[cvsnt] New client functionality suggestion: ./CVS/Entries.Re mote

[Bo Berglund]

I think that the "poll rate" thing should be reconsidered...
Imagine my case for example. I have upwards of 100 different modules checked out
from various servers and repositories. I definitely don't want any automatic status
request to be sent out at a regular interval by WinCvs.
Instead I can do the status myself and if I do I would like WinCvs to update the
icons using whatever info becomes available in the new file.
But I definitely want to control myself when to check the repository.

Bo

This would be a nice feature!
Paired with visual support (and a configurable poll rate) in WinCVS
you'd effectively have a system where you'd always know if a new
revision is available on the server.
