newbie question: fileattr location

[appu235]

Hi,

I am a newbie trying to figure out where to create the fileattr file.

When I refer to the manual it says, it should be in

"repository/my_directory/CVS" directory.

The problem is: when I create the repository and add "my_directory" to
the repository no CVS directory is created under "my_directory". Should
this directory be created manually at that location? I have absoultely
no problem checking-in, checking-out files...so i guess it is not the
problem relating to my repository etc.

any help is appreciated. Thanks
