(cvs.info)Repository storage


How data is stored in the repository
====================================

   For most purposes it isn't important _how_ CVS stores information in
the repository.  In fact, the format has changed in the past, and is
likely to change in the future.  Since in almost all cases one accesses
the repository via CVS commands, such changes need not be disruptive.

   However, in some cases it may be necessary to understand how CVS
stores data in the repository, for example you might need to track down
CVS locks (Note: Concurrency) or you might need to deal with the file
permissions appropriate for the repository.
