Thanks for your advice. But what will be the advantage? If I get you right,
then I would have to do a commit every time I want to test the changes in my
scripts, even if I have changed only a single line of code - and even if the
code is buggy. Right now I work locally, have the files mirrored using SSH
(I'm not sure if cvs can use SSH) can immediately try my changes and if
everything works as desired I do a commit. Like this I can always be sure,
that code in the repository is actually code that is working correctly.
