Hello Derek,
i thank you very much for your answer. > I see where you're coming from, but the way -n currently works, when CVS > would have tried to create a directory, it stops before it knows whether > it would have been empty or not. Ok, i see that changing this report-behaviour needed deep going changes in the way cvs does an exec/noexec update. > The message comes out on stderr, so, as a workaround, you might be able > to ignore it with 2>/dev/null. Alternatively, if there are other > messages you want to see coming out on stderr, you could pipe stderr and > stdout through a filter: > > $ cvs -qn up -dP 2>&1 |egrep -v '-- ignored$' |some_script Yes, certainly. But i would need a solution between this two possibilities. I need the information for a new directory but i do not want the report for empty ones. Well, i think there is no solution for my problem, so that i cannot use "-P" at the moment. > Of course, Ximbiot <http://ximbiot.com> could update CVS to cache the > directory tree properly so -n would do what you'd expect here on a > contract basis. I do not know Ximbiot, but i will check out this link now.
