[cvsnt] Re: How to use CVS init -r option ???

[booly]

This option will be used on LAN (no exposure to internet). My problem is 
that is doesn't work. The lock process fails because the files form the new 
repository to be locked are not in the old repository

C:\Documents and Settings\Jérôme>cvs init -r d:/test
cvs [server aborted]: Failed to obtain lock on modules,v: FAIL Lock not
within repository
