Details:
Hi,
Issue is really critical for our company.
We have 20000 C/C++ source files and have several central common libraries.
Every patch goes on separate release branch that eventually is merging to HEAD
(production) code. During merge we use
cvs -q upd -kk -j tag_HEAD_start_point -j br_REL_BRANCH folder_name
During merge cvs apply properly patches to some files changed on release
branch, but it also change timestamp of other files.
We use GNU make to compile our code and make uses timestamp. Because cvs
changed timestamp of all files this really triggers make to recompile sources
those were not really changed.
So question why CVS change timestamp of all files.
Can this be fixed or new option introduced for merge process?
