TortoiseCVS: How to override CVSROOT?
I would like to be able to CVS update some files residing in my Eclipse workspace, without having to launch Eclipse for that. So I installed TortoiseCVS.

Problem: TortoiseCVS always uses the CVS/root file to determine the CVS root, not the CVSROOT environment variable. Now, my Eclipse does not write the **user name** into that file, so TortoiseCVS tries to use my Windows user name, which is different from my CVS user name.

How can I make TortoiseCVS use the correct CVS user name? Can I force TortoiseCVS to use the CVSROOT environment variable? Can I force Eclipse to write the user name into the CVS/root files? Some other idea?

Thanks!
