[cvsnt] Re: Mixing :local: and client/server protocols (was: Whenyou gotta....)

[Bo Berglund]

I didn't realize that the initial checkout actually store the user AND
password in the CVS/Root files. I thought that the password was stored
in a location in the Registry and since the checkout was done by a real
user to begin with I had to set this -d parameter to get it to work when
the update is launched from the postcommit script, since that would run
in a different context and thus have access to different User hive in
the registry.

But I just tested and it really stores both user and password so the only
thing that needs to be done is initially to check out using the correct
user/password combination to override the Windows login.

Thanks for pointing this out!

FWIW: Are you aware that passing the CVSROOT to Update via the global -d 
option has no effect at all? Update will always use the CVSROOT that's 
stored in the ./CVS/Root files no matter what you pass on the 
commandline or store in the CVSROOT environment variable. The global -d 
option is only honored by commands that work on the repository rather 
than the sandbox, i.e. init, import, ls, rtag, rlog, rannotate, etc. and 
checkout if it's a fresh one. All others (e.g. update, status, add, 
remove, log, etc.) just silently ignore it.

Cheers,
