:I usually have "cvs -q -R", since it can speed up things for repos
:on network fs's. It's also good if you have a read only repo.
:When one want to write to the repo, however, one has to use the -f
:flag to cvs. Eg. "cvs -f commit my/changed/file".
:
:Just my 0.02$
:        -Richard

    The latest cvs (which is in DFly) now only locks on a directory
    by directory basis rather then a file by file basis, so using -R
    should not have as great an effect on speed as it used to
    (some timing tests might quanity this a bit more!).

    -R is still useful when accessing a repository that has been mounted
    read-only.
