 C.3.6.2 Keeping a checked out copy
 ..................................
 
 It is often useful to maintain a directory tree which contains files
 which correspond to the latest version in the repository.  For example,
 other developers might want to refer to the latest sources without
 having to check them out, or you might be maintaining a web site with
 CVS and want every checkin to cause the files used by the web server to
 be updated.
 
    The way to do this is by having loginfo invoke `cvs update'.  Doing
 so in the naive way will cause a problem with locks, so the `cvs update'
 must be run in the background.  Here is an example for unix (this
 should all be on one line):
 
      ^cyclic-pages\(/\|$\)	(date; cat; (sleep 2; cd /u/www/local-docs;
       cvs -q update -d) &) >> $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/updatelog 2>&1
 
    This will cause checkins to repository directory `cyclic-pages' and
 its subdirectories to update the checked out tree in
 `/u/www/local-docs'.
