So all of your projects are GCC. They pretty much all come from one
server. Try working on more than one project that is hosted by separate
servers. Even if they are all running CVS, the CVSROOT would not work
properly unless you reset it for each program you are trying to run.
I have a friend who swears by CVS, and his way of telling me what he
does is that he has a shell script that he wrote to automatically switch
his CVSROOT from one location to the next so he could maintain the 6 or
so different projects he works on. To me, that is just another work
around / hack to setting 6 separate environment variables and calling
them in the few instances in which you actually need them in Subversion.
