Did you mean 'cvs up -dP'? i think you've just proven that it is actually not friendly at all. You also have to move files to random locations to be able to keep a few changes at a time, maintain ChangeLogs, make sure not to mistakenly commit 'repo_name' when you're workgin with a partial checkout and, of course, remove it from profiles/ ChangeLogs all the time. Yes, CVS is one of the biggest PITA in Gentoo. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
