Subject: [PATCH 10/10] cvsserver doc: emphasize using CVS_SERVER= phrase within CVSROOT
Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 16:43:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1232840601-24696-11-git-send-email-mmogilvi_git@miniinfo.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1232840601-24696-10-git-send-email-mmogilvi_git@miniinfo.net>

Add information about CVSROOT=":ext;CVS_SERVER=git-cvsserver:..." to
"SYNOPSIS" section.  This information was/is already spelled out deep in
the "INSTALLATION" section, but this new method is far superior to
the old backwards-compatible option (separate environment variable),
so try to emphasize it's use for versions of CVS that support it.

Also mention how to connect to a local git repository using
git-cvsserver.
