In order for it to work, the create-repo back-end methods would have to become interactive functions that query for various free parameters, such as the CVS repo root and module name. Please send me a heads-up when you can work on the test frame. I think it would be prudent for me to lay off hacking on the back-end code until we have a regression test. Up to now I've just been removing stuff, but the next phase (uniform branching primiives, async) is going to be trickier. -- Eric S. Raymond
