CVS equivalent of "bzr info"

Question

I want to know the repository URL of a CVS branch. I know "bzr info" can list it, but haven't found its CVS equivalent after searching for a while. Thanks for any hint.

Can you give an example of `bzr info` for which you are trying to get the equivalent? — Burhan Ali, Apr 04 '13 at 13:31

It's been a while since I've used CVS, but I think it was in the CVS/Repository file of your working directory. If not that specific file, one of the files in that directory.

The CVS/Root file shows the location of the CVS repository.

burhan@orion:/dev/shm/cvstest/test$ cat CVS/Root
:ext:burhan@cvs:/vol/cvsroot

The CVS/Repository files shows you the location of the current directory under the CVS repository.

burhan@orion:/dev/shm/cvstest/test$ cat CVS/Repository 
cvstest/test

I don't know exactly what information from bzr info you are after but a combination of the above should help.
