revision 1.2
date: 2000/10/21 12:40:23;  author: wiz;  state: Exp;  lines: +8 -0
Don't compile LOCALID into the client, make it a repository specific
variable. The LOCALID is now set in the repository's CVSROOT/config file,
with a line
        tag=something
(in our case 'tag=NetBSD').
Taken from OpenBSD.
