Re: Splitting ecos.db?

You can specify as many repositories as you want using normal "PATH"
semantics for the ECOS_REPSOTORY environment variable.  Each
repository has it's own ecos.db file.  They're searched in the order
in which they appear in ECOS_REPSOTORY.

Will splitting up repositories solve your problem.  For example you
can have one "standard" repsotory containing the "standard" stuff from
the CVS tree.  Then you can have another repsotory for "private" stuff,
and a third for "modified standard" stuff that overrides the
"standard" stuff (by virtue of appearing before the "standard"
repository in the ECOS_REPOSITORY path).

I think so, but don't quote me.
