 10.6.5 Using watches with old versions of CVS
 ---------------------------------------------
 
 If you use the watch features on a repository, it creates `CVS'
 directories in the repository and stores the information about watches
 in that directory.  If you attempt to use CVS 1.6 or earlier with the
 repository, you get an error message such as the following (all on one
 line):
 
      cvs update: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading:
      No such file or directory
 
 and your operation will likely be aborted.  To use the watch features,
 you must upgrade all copies of CVS which use that repository in local
 or server mode.  If you cannot upgrade, use the `watch off' and `watch
 remove' commands to remove all watches, and that will restore the
 repository to a state which CVS 1.6 can cope with.
