Given a repository set up as above, team members can create any number of working copies of the project directory tree. You edit and extend the tree only in the working copies. Changes are later propagated to the repository by CVS commands. To create a working copy, change directory to the intended copy location, and do
$ cvs co mast_pcsIf symbolic links are required in the working copy they should be created separately now; CVS doesn't store information about symbolic links. MAST PCS uses the scripts makelinks and deletelinks to do this. Note that each working copy directory contains a CVS subdirectory for administrative purposes. This is how CVS knows where each working directory belongs in the repository, among other things.
