I'm using cvsup for a while now to get a copy of the FreeBSD CVS repositoryMaybe server looks for those files in attic?
and I have a (slightly modified) version of -STABLE checked out from there.
Now there are certain areas where I'd like to see what changed before
doing a "cvs update". Currently I'm using "cvs diff -u -N -r BASE -r RELENG_4"
to do that. However this has one drawback that I'm hoping you'll be
able to help me with: If files have been removed from the distribution,
these files continue to show up as getting readded (even though they
won't when doing an update). To see the problem, you can go to
/usr/src/sbin/md5 and run the above cvs diff command.
as far as I understand logics of cvs update, it won't rub out your local changes - all you can get with cvs update are conflicts. Why not do cvs -n update -d, and thenSorry, I think you didn't quite understand what I'm trying to achive. I'd like to get a diff of what has changed in the repository *before* I update my sources (and without making a copy of any files).
cvs update -d, or even cvs update -d -I your/changed/file1 -I another/changed/file, and then you can diff through this small (I suppose (: ) set of files
