[Gllug] OT: Source control - backup

[Kristian Davies]

<snip>
if you're using CVS you could find such checked-out directories with:
  find . -type d -exec test -d '{}/CVS' \; -print -prune
- you could actually try to run CVS to test whether each one is a valid
checkout, but this would be excruciatingly slow if there were lots and
the repositories were remote.

A similar solution should be possible for other revision control systems
- presumably they also store some knowledge about what is "checked out"
on the local machine and you can access this.

Yeah i was thinking along the same lines... 

Had a look and it seems it's possible with some clever scripting... (our scm
is perforce btw)

Cheers,
Kristian
