So then, let us rephrase the question: How do you go about setting up an `empty' repository? All I want is to put .emacs, .gnus etc under CVS now that I am more confident using it. And do this without importing the entire ${HOME} directory structure. A work around I have thought is to ln -s these files to others in a config/ But that will not fix the problem when in another directory I want to CVS just one file in that directory? Am I being really thick or something, educate me and help the others, please. marcu -- Unless otherwise noted, the statements herein reflect my personal opinions and not those of any organisation with which I may be affiliated.
