Is it possible to delegate a new branch to another machine than the one owning the CVS trunk?
Yes. With DCVS you can delegate development lines (branches) to certain servers, which thus become the master server of that branch. On that server (and only there) you can work locally on the branch and commit the changes. • Can I change read/write permissions/ownership of a branch after it has been created? No. Once a new development line has been delegated to its master server, it must be checked out from its master server for modification. However, you can check out a replica of that development line and create a new branch under the range of this particular server. • Can I finally use CVSup to merge the changes made in the branch to the base development line? No, CVSup can be used to replicate the changes made in the branch on its master server to the slave servers. • Why is it not possible, that two developers working on different hosts in the network check out the same developmentline from their host and commit changes on it? The concept of master servers in DCVS allows the dist
