Thx.  Have TS ordered a new hard drive so we can undo this usr/local/u3
thing?

Hi Alistair,

CVS stores it repository info in the CVS/Root file and I just tried the
following (in bash):

  rfiles=`find . -name 'Root'`
  for i in $rfiles
  do
    echo ":ext:auden.lcs.mit.edu:/u/u3/gcmpack" > $i
  done

and then ran:

  export CVS_RSH=ssh
  cvs update

and it did exactly what you want.  To be safe, I'd consider trying it first
on a small (backed-up) portion of your tree(s) but it should work just fine
and its relatively easy to un-do.

Ed
