_______________________________________________________
Details:
I was surprised by
$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir foo
$ cvs -d /tmp/foo init
cvs [init aborted]: init to an existing repository is restricted to members of
the group cvsadmin
$ grep cvsadmin /etc/group
$
The only mention of the cvsadmin group in the manpage is that the "admin"
command is restricted to members of that group if the group exists. I was
stuck until a kind soul explained that I should not have created the empty
directory first, as even though there was no CVSROOT within it, it still
counted as a "repository". A short description of the "init" command in the
manpage explaining that it creates the directory itself would have been
useful.
