Ok, gia na kanoume local changes se ena repository, to CVS einai apla
theiko :)  Prwta, kanoume ena export apo to original repository:

	% cd /d/local
	% cvs -q -R -d /home/ncvs export -r HEAD modulename

Ustera, ftiaxnoume ena local repository me mono ta checked out
sources, apo to original:

	% cd modulename
	% mkdir /d/cvs
	% cvs -d /d/cvs init
	% cvs -d /d/cvs import -ko modulename FREEBSD FREEBSD_DOCS

To option -ko leei sto import na min kanei expand ta $RCS$ keywords,
opote kratiountai ta original (se periptosh pou theloume na kanoume
merge argotera ta remote changes).

Bgainoume kai kanoume checkout apo to local pleon repository ta panta:

	% cd /d/local
	% rm -fr modulename
	% cvs -q -d /d/cvs checkout -r HEAD modulename

Ftiaxnoume ena ``tag'' pou markarei ta revisions akribws PRIN ginei
opoiadhpote local allagh:

	% cd /d/local/modulename

kalo einai to kathena na einai se jexoristo diko tou branch na trexei,
gia na min anakateuontai oi allages kai ginei to MPAXALO).

	% cvs tag -b CHANGE

To onoma PRE_CHANGE kai to onoma tou branch kalo einai na einai idia,
opote na jeroume poio PRE_XXX antistoixei se poio XXX branch argotera.

Gurizoume ta sources apo to HEAD branch tou local repository sto
