Setting up the repository

When you install CVS for the first time, you should follow the instructions in the `INSTALL' file to set up the repository.

If you want to set up another repository, the easiest way to get a reasonable set of working administrative files is to get the source to CVS, and run the cvsinit shell script. It will set up an empty repository in the directory defined by the environment variable $CVSROOT. (cvsinit is careful to never overwrite any existing files in the repository, so no harm is done if you run cvsinit on an already set-up repository.)
