I am using the symlink trick and understand it completely. Trust me! But I think I/we have lost sight of the original problem now. If I sound like I am flogging a dead horse then please pass on, I don't want to waste anymore of your time. Sorry if the question on the emacs connection was not clear. When I normally do a C-x v-v in emacs to add a new file in a dir already under CVS control it is fine. But in another non CVS dir I got asked if I wanted to create an RCS dir. Personally, (already!) from what I have seen of RCS I prefer CVS, mainly for the PCL-emacs interface. This then comes back to the subject of the post I started: Make CVS default revision controller. I would like emacs to default to creating CVS repository instead of RCS. So if it does/not include all files in that directory does not matter for the moment, its the generation of a CVS repository, _not_ RCS, from within emacs in an uncontrolled directory that is! Is this at all possible from with in emacs? marcu -- Unless otherwise noted, the statements herein reflect my personal opinions and not those of any organisation with which I may be affiliated.
