Jeeva, this is where your experimental portion of your repository comes into
play. I always recommend that you set up a directory in the repository, say
$CVSROOT/cvs-test, with the understanding that anything in that directory
can and will be deleted without notice. This allows you to experiment and
see exactly what would happen in this case. I suspect Larry's probably
right, though - it's probably not something you want to do ;-)
