Customizing the Adapter

SiteMenus and UserMenus
The CVS custom menus are currently rather large; however, it is easily possible to adapt these menus to your specific needs.
One customization that is particularly recommended is removing the whole CVS Admin menu for developers and enable it for the CVS Administrator only. This can easily be accomplished by first copying the
SiteMenus.sniff file to the Administrator's UserMenus.sniff file and then commenting out all entries from the CVS Admin menu.
CVSPrefs.py
More customizations can be done by editing the file
$SNIFF_DIR/lib/python/Sniff/CVSPrefs.py . This file defines constants that define whether CVS should always ask for the correct repository directory when doing CheckIn, or whether actual cvs edit commands should be executed or files should just be made writable.
