Did you use backslashes because you are using windows?  If so: are you
sure you are using CVS not CVSNT?  If you are using CVSNT please send
your post to the CVSNT forum which is the correct place for CVSNT
discussions:
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt

CVSNT is NOT a windows product (though most windows 'cvs' users are
CVSNT users) - it runs on linux/unix/mac/win and is a different tool to
CVS so it's important that you ask the right forum.

What you are describing is a common requirement from organisations that
previously used Visual SourceSafe and how to support it has been
discussed on the newsgroup before.
