Miscellaneous
The tools described in this section are too unique to be categorized
easily. However, they are very useful. They range from a tool to
clear out old data from the history file, to a
tool to mount the repository as a filesystem.
cln_hist
This script removes most of the
old records from the history file in the
CVSROOT directory in the repository. It keeps

cln_hist

and branches within the projects.
cvs_acls is available from the
contrib directory in the CVS source code.

CVSCheck is available from the contrib directory
in the CVS source code.
CVSFS
CVSFS
is a tool for mounting a CVS repository as a filesystem. It works
only with the pserver access method (as of CVS
1.1.9). By default, it displays the current
(HEAD) revision ...
