Re: [wxCode-users] wxCode project improvements

[Jorgen B. <sol...@xs...>]

Sorry for beign so late with uploading my component, it appears CVS on=20
the command line is a royal pain. I need to do every dir seperately (I=20
forgot how painful it was).

I still need to know how to stop CVS (in cygwin) for constantly asking=20
my CVS password. It is quite annoying if all files need to be added=20
seperately and all CVS operations (even update) require a password.

John, do you know how I can tell CVS on cygwin that it should remember=20
the password (at least in the bash session?)

Thanks,
- Jorgen
