[Cvsnt] CVSNT on windows 2k

[Kari Hoijarvi]

And remember, The prefix is written in the local CVS\root file.
If it changes, client wont work.

So if you change the prefix, users should have their changes
checked in. After changing, users should delete the sandboxes
and do a fresh check out.

manually editing CVS\root seems to work, but it better to avoid
such work.

Save  yourself some grief and follow Bo's suggestion.  Use a repository
prefix to mask drive mappings.  Your clients don't need to know or care that
its on your c drive.  I followed Bo's advice and created a folder on my d:
drive called cvsrepo.  so my repository is at d:\cvsrepo\CM.  I put
d:\cvsrepo as the prefix so my clients just need to specify
cvsroot=:pserver:user at machine:/CM

Very Clean indeed.  Thanks again Bo!!!
