Re: Does pre-commit script with a remote server?

[Howard Zhou]

As you mentioned that the patch doesn't work well with client/server mode,
which is exactly what I need. I hope this feature will be added to the next
release of CVS?

Since there is no good solution to this issue, we probably have to live with
$CVSROOT NFS mounted on each client host. That's bad news.
