A.6 admin—Administration
-
Requires: repository, working directory.
-
Changes: repository.
-
Synonym: rcs
This is the CVS interface to assorted
administrative facilities. Some of them have
questionable usefulness for CVS but exist for
historical purposes. Some of the questionable options
are likely to disappear in the future. This command
does work recursively, so extreme care should be
used.
On unix, if there is a group named cvsadmin,
only members of that group can run cvs admin
(except for the cvs admin -k command, which can
be run by anybody). This group should exist on the
server, or any system running the non-client/server
CVS. To disallow cvs admin for all users,
create a group with no users in it. On NT, the
cvsadmin feature does not exist and all users
can run cvs admin.
