Reference manual for the Administrative files

Inside the repository, in the directory `$CVSROOT/CVSROOT', there are a number of supportive files for CVS. You can use CVS in a limited fashion without any of them, but if they are set up properly they can help make life easier.

The most important of these files is the `modules' file, which defines the modules inside the repository.

• modules: Defining modules
• commit files: The commit support files
• commitinfo: Pre-commit checking
• editinfo: Specifying how log messages are created
• loginfo: Where should log messages be sent?
• rcsinfo: Templates for the log messages
• cvsignore: Ignoring files via cvsignore
• history file: History information
• Setting up: Setting up the repository
