My system uses links to the CVS repository, and I have never had a problem
with the links.
The repository resides on a LINUX computer and is accessed via pserver
from both LINUX and MS computers. This is a RAID box that also has
my home directory on it. At the moment the repository is in my home directory
for ease of maintainablity. There is a soft link at /usr/local/cvs that
points to my directory. I have already tested moving it and just
changing the soft link. On my system this all seems to work great.
