Yeh I was the one who stuffed the CVS ... but I now know the MOST IMPORTANT
thing you need to know ...

In order to upload (checkin) ... you MUST HAVE already DOWNLOADED
(checkout) the files WITH a password.

You can't get the source anonymously, change a file and then try to check
it back in (with a password) -- it just won't work.

I agree though. I was thinking of writing a small which makes sure you do
this via the steps above.

Regards,

Sikosis


PS. Still waiting for someone to prune those directories ...
