Re: PreservePermissions variable

[Jeeva Sarma]

Hi
I just read the last line in the manual page which
says that "The PreservePermissions features do not
work with client/server CVS". Sorry for the previous
mail.Is there any way to deal with symbolic links in
cvs? We use Unix server and windows and linux clients.
Thanks,
Jeeva Sarma
