@cindex remote repositories (CVS)
When using a CVS repository on a remote machine, VC can try keeping
network interactions to a minimum. This is controlled by the variable
@code{vc-cvs-stay-local}. There is another variable,
@code{vc-stay-local}, which enables the feature also for other back
ends that support it, including CVS@. In the following, we will talk
only about @code{vc-cvs-stay-local}, but everything applies to
@code{vc-stay-local} as well.
If @code{vc-cvs-stay-local} is @code{only-file} (the default), VC
determines the version control status of each file using only the
entry in the local CVS subdirectory and the information returned by
previous CVS commands. As a consequence, if you have modified a file
and somebody else has checked in other changes, you will not be
notified of the conflict until you try to commit.
