[cvsnt] CVSNT Server Repository access from TortoiseCVS

[Bo Berglund]

There are two different ways to get a module listing from CVSNT:

cvs ls
This is a command that will list the top level of the repository,
normally there is only a number of folder names in this list, these
are the top level modules including CVSROOT, the administrative module.

It can be used with a specifier on what to list too:
cvs ls module
will list all files in the given module

The other way is the old style modules file listing like:
cvs checkout -c
This will list the contents of the CVSROOT/modules file and was the
only way to list modules before CVSNT. But this only lists what the
CVS administrator has *manually* written into the modules file.

What is used by Tortoise is something you should really ask on
the Tortoise list or newsgroup (whatever they use, I don't know)

Hello,

               I have CVSNT setup on a Win2000 Server. Clients are
usually on either
Win2000 or WinXP. I am using TortoiseCVS as a client. My Problem is when
the clients wants to fetch (get) the existing list from the CVSNT
server, I am not able to fetch the existing directory listing. I am able
to make a module in CVSNT server and able to do check-in, check-out and
commit to that module. How can I get the existing Repository folders
list from other client machine, which is also Windows XP? I didn't find
any option in TortoiseCVS to get/set the existing folder list in the
CVSNT server.
 

Please help me out on this.

 

Regards,

Nuvvula
