Reference manual for the Administrative files

Inside the repository, in the directory $CVSROOT/CVSROOT, there are a number of supportive files for cvs. You can use cvs in a limited fashion without any of them, but if they are set up properly they can help make life easier.

The most important of these files is the modules file, which defines the modules inside the repository.
