Sure.  Can Chuck or someone create a new cvs module called (if I remember
right) mottle?

Someone suggested (I think) mottle and had some good reasons for it.

No idea why you do all that.

I'm sure some do, but I wouldn't recommend it.  I recommend a developement
checkout, and when it gets where you want it do a  "cvs export"  to the
production site.

Don't know, as I don't have my own local repository...
