4. Client - Setting up a Project
There are six steps involved in setting up a new project.
1. BE PARANOID - BACKUP EVERYTHING AND TAKE IT HOME
2. House clean
3. Tell CVS which files and directories to ignore - CVSIGNORE
4. Tell CVS which files should always be considered as binary files - CVSWRAPPERS
5. Running the CVS IMPORT command
6. Copying/backup/ERASE OR MOVE your existing folder contents.
Note: The person who originally created the project must run the cvs checkout command (in the next section) before they can continue working on the project.
NOTE: You can create a new project or import from most other Version control systems.
