<strike>So me, Guy1 and Guy2 are working on Project A and have a CVS repository set up.
Now me, Guy1 and Guy<b><u>3</u></b> are working on Project B, and would like to set up another CVS repository.
Setting up the first one was a pretty tentative affair, mostly just following instructions to the letter, so I'm not sure I understood exactly what I was doing, but it worked out and we've been using it for a while.
It looks like it should be possible to use the same CVSROOT with two different projects, meaning that me and Guy1 won't have to constantly re-export the CVSROOT value according to which project we want to work on, but first I need to make our existing project folder a CVS repository.
We've already got some documents there, but I suppose moving them out and then adding+committing wouldn't be too much of a problem.
But being able to update both by just sitting in the parent directory and entering "cvs update" would be a big plus.
TL;DR So it's a bit messy, and I'm not sure how to start. Essentially all I need to do is add another folder to the CVSROOT directory and also get CVS to recognize it (and of course get Guy3 to export CVSROOT as well). Anyone able to help? </strike>
Well. That was fairly trivial. Should've thought of just literally adding the folder in...
