[cvsnt] what does trigger the creation of the file .directory_history, v ?

[Test Testing]

Hello,

I am trying to solve a problem with my CVS system, the problem is
related to the cvs rename of a file.

I made some tests in order to understand whether I can solve the
problem by manually fixing some files in the CVS repository; I have
some questions.

What does trigger the creation of the file .directory_history,v ?

Does the cvs rename of a file trigger the creation of the file
.directory_history,v ? If yes, where the .directory_history,v file
will be created? In the source directory or in the target directory?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards.
Alessandro
