Can I check my own local changes into a CVS repository that I update with CVSup from a master site?
If you are careful and if you understand what is going on behind the scenes, you can make this work. CVSup was designed to allow extra locally checked-in revisions to coexist in the RCS files along with the revisions taken from the master repository on the server. Because CVSup understands the structure of RCS files, it is able to bring in new revisions from the server without disturbing your own revisions that you have checked in locally. Unfortunately, certain logistical issues make this capability awkward to use in practical situations.
