[cvsnt] How to get the new admin files in build 2214 into existing CVSROOT?

[Mike Wake]

Bo,

I have in the past run cvs init on an existing repository.  This added 
any new files while leaving any existing file in place.  If you do this 
you miss out on any new documentation/comments at the top of the 
existing files so you probably want to do a diff between a checked out 
version of CVSROOT of the old Repository and a checked out version of a 
brand new (ie cvs init) test Repository and merge the relevant changes 
in commments as well.

I would suggest that the way you have been doing it is essentially the 
way it needs to be done.

Cheers
