From a41a32bf1ce74f3be5c1ab398db1a93b89e6a99e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Ogilvie Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2008 22:43:41 -0600 Subject: Documentation cvs: Clarify when a bare repository is needed New users sometimes import a project and then immediately try to use the imported repository as a central shared repository. This provides pointers about setting up a bare repository for that in the parts of the documentation dealing with CVS migration.
