So, you're checking out a copy of the whole repository!?
Why not just the files you're changing?
This is one of the things that seemed especially odd in
the CVS and SVN manuals.
I'm used to just telling the shared master repository
what files I'm planning on changing, and having the
IDE automagically handle the implied linking/substituting
my changed and recompiled code in with the last
integrated libraries, frameworks, etc.
