We were setting up new development environment for our team using eclipse and checked out the code from CVS. At the end we faced an issue when we tested how other developers will change the CVS account to their own one. Eclipse was not allowing us to change the CVS account. Then I found that we have to change the account in CVS meta files. The command I used to replace the account was :
find . -regex .*CVS/Root -print0 | xargs -0 perl -p -i.orig -e “s/olduser/newuser/;”
This replaced the CVS user name in all CVS meta files in the whole project hierarchy 🙂
