I felt the need to work with two repositories, one CVS 1 (here: module phase3) and my own, CVS 2.
It seems to be impossible to update/merge from CVS 1, to make my changes and then to commit to CVS 2, because the CVS 2 was started (imported) freshly from my own local version and cannot (afaik) be sync-ed with the master CVS 1.
To overcome this problem, I developed a method, which is not too complicated; an work flowchart can be found on [1,2].
However, If someone has found or knows of better methods, then I would have re-invented the (cvs-with-two-repositories) wheel.
Please can you let me know ? --> simply write onto [3], which page you can e-watch [4] T.
