The command:
cvs upd -kk -j branch exhibits unexpected (wrong) behavior when the branch contains files which were created on the branch and have never been committed on the trunk. Some files will show keyword expansion, and some files will not. When run as: cvs -t upd -kk -j branch one can see that the -kk option stops being used as soon as a new file is encountered on the branch. Here's an example: Advect.C and Advect.h exist on the trunk before the merge, but CornerMassRemap.C and CornerMassRemap.h do not. You'll notice that after the first new files has been processed, CornerMassRemap.C, the -kk keyword is not used during the server_register call and then is not used at all from that point forward. -> main loop with CVSROOT=anonuser@anonhostname:/home/user/cvsroot -> Starting server: ssh anonhostname -l anonuser cvs server -> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Static) -> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Static) S-> unlink(CVS/Entries.Static) S-> unlink(./CVS/Entries.Static) S-> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries) S-> unlink(CVS/Entries.Log) S-> checkout (/home/user/cvsroot/aleamr/_lagrangian_amr/Advect.C,v, 1.20, -kk, Advect.C) S-> chmod(Advect.C,100644) S-> server_register(Advect.C, 1.20, Fri Aug 9 21:49:02 2002, -kk, , , ) S-> Register(Advect.C, 1.20, Fri Aug 9 21:49:02 2002, -kk, ) -> rename(.new.Advect.C,Advect.C) -> Register(Advect.C, 1.20, Fri Aug 9 21:49:02 2002, -kk, ) U Advect.C S-> checkout (/home/user/cvsroot/aleamr/_lagrangian_amr/Advect.h,v, 1.17, -kk, Advect.h) S-> chmod(Advect.h,100644) S-> server_register(Advect.h, 1.17, Fri Aug 9 21:49:02 2002, -kk, , , ) S-> Register(Advect.h, 1.17, Fri Aug 9 21:49:02 2002, -kk, ) -> rename(.new.Advect.h,Advect.h) -> Register(Advect.h, 1.17, Fri Aug 9 21:49:02 2002, -kk, ) U Advect.h [*snip*] S-> checkout (/home/user/cvsroot/aleamr/_lagrangian_amr/_advection/Attic/CornerMassRemap.C,v, 1.1.2.4, -kk, CornerMassRemap.C) S-> chmod(CornerMassRemap.C,100640) S-> server_register(CornerMassRemap.C, 0, Fri Aug 9 21:49:06 2002, , , , ) S-> Register(CornerMassRemap.C, 0, Fri Aug 9 21:49:06 2002, , ) -> rename(.new.CornerMas,CornerMassRemap.C) -> Register(CornerMassRemap.C, 0, dummy timestamp, , ) U _advection/CornerMassRemap.C S-> checkout (/home/user/cvsroot/aleamr/_lagrangian_amr/_advection/Attic/CornerMassRemap.h,v, 1.1.2.5, , CornerMassRemap.h) S-> chmod(CornerMassRemap.h,100640) S-> server_register(CornerMassRemap.h, 0, Fri Aug 9 21:49:06 2002, , , , ) S-> Register(CornerMassRemap.h, 0, Fri Aug 9 21:49:06 2002, , ) -> rename(.new.CornerMas,CornerMassRemap.h) -> Register(CornerMassRemap.h, 0, dummy timestamp, , ) U _advection/CornerMassRemap.h [*snip*] This causes the old spurious merge conflict problem to reappear that -kk was designed to prevent.
