Deleting a Repository
A
CVS repository that is no longer needed can be removed as you would
remove a normal directory tree. All the information CVS stores about
the repository and the projects in it are stored within the
repository tree, most of it in the CVSROOT
subdirectory of that repository.
If you have edited the scripting files in the
CVSROOT
directory, they may refer to scripts
stored elsewhere. Check the scripting files; if the referenced
scripts are no longer needed, they can also be removed.
Once you have backed up any projects you may need to refer to later,
remove the repository with rm -rf
repository_root_directory
.
