RE: cannot export from remote repo to absolute pathname

[Mark Hewitt]

So what happens the?  I presume the client knows that it has a pserver
(etc) 'Repository URL' (sic!) and dispatches the appropriate outgoing
request.  The server performs the specified action into a server
side work area (where is that? Can it be configured?) and returns the
result to the client.  The client then performs a mirror of the server
side actions at the client host.

Is that right?

Where is this documented?

How are per-user requests separated at the server side work area?

When is the servser side work area cleared?

Yes.  The server's working area should be exactly similar [sic] to the
client's.
