Subject: [PATCH] Clarify documentation of git-cvsserver, particularly in relation to git-shell
Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 11:30:02 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1208273402-2152-1-git-send-email-scc@ScottCollins.net> (raw)
Currently, git-cvsserver requires CVS_SERVER to be set to 'cvs' if you are
restricted to git-shell, so we need to mention that here. Previous wording
mentioning GIT_AUTHOR, GIT_COMMITTER variables may not have made clear we
really meant GIT_AUTHOR_(NAME|COMMITTER), etc. Add a bit of text to
differentiate cvs -d (setting CVSROOT) from cvs co -d (setting the name of
the newly checked out directory).
