I know that several of you maintain local changes to your Emulab source tree, and occasionally sync up to our CVS. For those of you who do, can you give me a quick summary of how you do it, and how well you think it works?
I don't do anything fancy. I just make a copy of the testbed source tree, and every now and then do a "cvs update". I, in general, don't worry about maintaining any sort of revision history for my local changes. Although, if I am about to make a major change I make a backup copy of the files I am about to change (or sometimes the entire tree). A branch may make more sense, but they are a pain to deal with.
