[jcvs] Any ideas to copy a sandbox?

[Vágvölgyi Attila <vagvolgyia@mkk.hu>]

Hello!

  I need to use CVS from a nearly off-line computer (expensive and slow
modem connection). I thought it would be easy to checkout on an on-line
computer ... bring the sandbox preserving file and directory dates using a
mobile rack ... modify them on the off-line computer ... only update and
commit on the (nearly) off-line computer.

  If I use the plain command-line cvs client, there is no problem, but if I
use jCVS and try to add the copied sandbox to the work-bench, it believes
all the files are modified.

  Anybody knows, how could it figure out, that the files are tempered? Can
anybody give me a checklist, in what cases finds jCVS a file updated? I do
not have time and self-confidence to begin reading the sources.

  It would be really impossible to use the command-line client for the
person I am copying this sandbox.

  Thanks:    Vágvölgyi Attila
