using cvschroot allowed?

[Harald Dunkel]

Hi folks,

We've got a huge CVS repository in India, and a local read-
only mirror at my site in Germany, updated at least once per
day. As you might imagine, getting a writable checkout takes
a lot of time.

To speed things up I would like to do a local checkout
first, and then use cvschroot (see 'cvsutils' on Google)
on my sandbox to point to the writable Indian repository.

Question: Is it allowed to use cvschroot in this way? Or is
this too much of a hack, maybe corrupting my CVS repository
at checkin? Anything I should take into account to make this
work?


As you might have guessed, I am not sure how the cvsutils are
really related to cvs. Any insight would be highly appreciated.
