2.9 Remote repositories
=======================
Your working copy of the sources can be on a different machine than the
repository. Using CVS in this manner is known as "client/server"
operation. You run CVS on a machine which can mount your working
directory, known as the "client", and tell it to communicate to a
machine which can mount the repository, known as the "server".
Generally, using a remote repository is just like using a local one,
except that the format of the repository name is:
[:METHOD:][[USER][:PASSWORD]@]HOSTNAME[:[PORT]]/path/to/repository
Specifying a password in the repository name is not recommended
during checkout, since this will cause CVS to store a cleartext copy of
the password in each created directory. `cvs login' first instead
( Password authentication client).
The details of exactly what needs to be set up depend on how you are
connecting to the server.
