Derek -

A few months back, we had a discussion about how the current version
of cvs allows co's inside of a repository, in certain situations.  
I proposed a solution, and have implemented it.  

donsharp-u5:35> pwd    
/auto/swtrf/repository/test
donsharp-u5:36> cvs -d /nfs/swtrf/repository co scm
cvs [checkout aborted]: Cannot check out files into the repository itself
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
my modified version.

donsharp-u5:37> /router/bin/cvs -d /nfs/swtrf/repository co scm
cvs checkout: Updating scm

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The non modified version.


Now the problem:

I am at a quandary as to how I can write test cases for it.  As that 
it requires that you have root access in order to test this.  You 
need to be able to mount( I think, I don't fully understand how
our sysadmins achieve this setup here ), but as a regular user
this cannot be tested.

Does anyone have some thoughts?
