But there's nothing to learn... You only need to c'n'p code listings 1.1
- 1.3 [1] once in a lifetime of your dev box. Then you only type 'cvs
up' for the rest of your developer life. If you ever encounter anything
unusual and you don't want to waste precious time to even read the
warning/error message you rm -rf offending directory and you do... 'cvs
up'. How hard is that?
