What I mean is, that the typical way cvs is run remotely is via the
'cvs server' command - either with pserver from inetd or the
equivalent, or via rsh/$CVS_RSH (generally ssh these days). There's
nothing stopping you from using 'cvs server' locally to do the same
thing, that way you could reuse the protocol support from MacCVS Pro,
even though MacCVS Pro doesn't support local repositories. This is
assuming you even care about supporting local repositories.

Thanks. I guess I am too used to hearing the "CVS is good enough"
mantra from everyone. :)
