,----[ C-h v cvs-cvsroot RET ]
| cvs-cvsroot is a variable defined in `pcvs-defs.el'.
| Its value is nil
|
| Documentation:
| *Specifies where the (current) cvs master repository is.
| Overrides the environment variable $CVSROOT by sending " -d dir" to
| all CVS commands. This switch is useful if you have multiple CVS
| repositories. It can be set interactively with M-x cvs-change-cvsroot.
| There is no need to set this if $CVSROOT is set to a correct value.
