I had half-remembered that `cvs init' existed but didn't find it and convinced myself I had imagined it. The info page has a list of cvs subcommands preceded by a paragraph in the place where info manuals always have blather you must skip over, telling you that what follows lies by omission. It would be nicer if /all/ the cvs subcommands were listed there. Thanks, Ian. -- Ian Jackson These opinions are my own.
