Re: CVSROOT

The definition of the standard that NetBeans (and most CVS clients) use 
is at https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.18/cvs_2.html#SEC26
This is not a matter of the server at all, this is the responsibility of 
the cvs client to store the CVSROOT somehow.
It looks like wincvs intentionally does not want to be compatible with 
the rest, if it decides to use a different format... NetBeans do not 
work correctly with the wincvs client anyway. We support only cvs client 
from cvshome.org.
