[chora] newbie question

Was wondering if this was a case where the rcs stuff is only done on
individual files, or on whole directories.  If individual files, we could
copy them to a temp file or something and use that copy.  But there would
be a lot of overhead...  If it parse whole directories or large sets of
files, then it wouldn't be practical to copy that much data...

Yeah, I'm starting to give into the NFS idea.  I just didn't want to have
to add all the security overhead (for nfs server, portmap, etc) to the
development machine...

I've considered the following:

1) NFS -- means more software, more security concern, but otherwise great
2) rysnc et al -- things would always be a bit out of date, otherwise okay
3) modifying the code -- could take a while...
4) Install Horde/chora on the CVS machine -- means more software, more security
   concerns (minor), and adds authentication issue (as I don't want the cvs
   repository (code) to be public, so auth would be needed).

I don't like #2 because of the delay in updates.  #4 would (in my case)
be a pain as I'd need to login to 2 different Horde implementations at all
times (email and chora).  So that really leaves #1 for immediatge use, and
#3 for a long term goal...  (Best I can tell)
