CVS Didn't Die

Tuesday, September 14 2004

Now, don’t forget this! The next time the IP changes on your development box and CVS is barfing don’t expect the worse. Don’t assume CVS has scrambled everything like an omelette. Step back from the computer, take a deep breath, and edit the Root file that exists in every CVS folder so that it has the new IP. Make your life easier, and do a massive search and replace on your entire work area.
