Can I get a copy of CVS differences to my local drive?

146 Views Asked by At

I cannot access the CVS account at home, but I would like to checkout the cvs repo and take it home with the ability to go through every single difference in NetBeans at home. Is this possible?

There's no command that will let you "check out" the whole repository including all the history information, but you can simply copy the files if you (or your proxy) have access to the server. A CVS repository is just a directory full of files, and if you make a complete copy of that directory, it acts exactly like the original and could be used to create diffs and change logs as you desire.
