Ahh forgot about that one.
Basically if you try to do local mode to a network drive you'll get a
fatal error:
cvs [version aborted]: Local access to network share not supported (Use
-N to override this error).
You can supress the error using cvs -N, which allows those who insist on
using network shares to go on doing so. Lockserver is switched off by
default in local mode (I considered making it fatal to use a network
share without a lockserver... maybe I still will...)
eg.
C:\>cvs -d //spock-xp/d$/repo version
cvs [version aborted]: Local access to network share not supported (Use
-N to override this error).
C:\Documents and Settings\tmh>cvs -N -d //spock-xp/d$/repo version
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.25 (client/server)
