This will not switch a working copy which they have previously checked out to the new repository location. The original location of the repository is still located in CVS/Root.

The -d option only works when checking out fresh sources to specify a specific repository or to override the CVSROOT environment variable. Once the source is checked out however, all subsequent CVS commands (including cvs update) will be against the repository located in CVS/Root.

Also, for developers with passwords, I suspect you will also have to edit your .cvspass file to make the hostname change there too, or again cvs login -d :pserver:username@<new_hostname>
