Do you think we should ammend that document to say that one needs to chdir to the checked out directory. If you haven't thought of that, chances are that others won't too.
Yes, I think that's worth doing.
If your brain is switched off and you're just blindly typing in the various commands in that document then it doesn't work as it stands. To be fair, it does mention "in the top directory of the project" a couple of times, but without seeing a "chdir" command on it's own line in a monospace font it obviously didn't sink in.
done
Perhaps a couple of other things worth mentioning
(that had me stumped for a short time); perhaps not
in the docs, but at least for the mail archives:
- updating via
cvs up -dRP
will build/prune directories recursively, which is
sometimes necessary;
The -dP part is documented. -R is on by default on unix. Is it different on win32?
- if you change a file, and then do a 'cvs up', your edited file won't get replaced (that's indicated as such in the file listing coming from the command). If you do want to replace it, you have to remove it first.
I don't understand this. Of course it won't get replaced. If the file has changed in the repository since your last 'cvs up' it'll merge the changes into the file (possibly creating a conflict). if nothing has changed it won't do anything. What's wrong with that?
