Reference manual for Administrative files
*****************************************

   Inside the repository, in the directory `$CVSROOT/CVSROOT', there
are a number of supportive files for CVS.  You can use CVS in a limited
fashion without any of them, but if they are set up properly they can
help make life easier.  For a discussion of how to edit them, 
See Intro administrative files.

   The most important of these files is the `modules' file, which
defines the modules inside the repository.

modules: Defining modules
Wrappers: Treat directories as files
commit files: The commit support files
commitinfo: Pre-commit checking
verifymsg: How are log messages evaluated?
editinfo: Specifying how log messages are created (obsolete)
loginfo: Where should log messages be sent?
rcsinfo: Templates for the log messages
cvsignore: Ignoring files via cvsignore
history file: History information
Variables: Various variables are expanded
