Sometimes I experience the following problem:
I have deleted a file from CVS by using "rm file" and " cvs rm file".
This file is in the attic now. (Lets call it "file")
Then I want to add a new file with the SAME NAME:
"cp Somewhere/file file"
"cvs add file"
"cvs ci file"
But this does not work, because there has been an old file under the same
name already. The solution for me was to delte the old "file,v" file in the
REPO to get it work. But actually I wanted to keep the history of the old
file, too !!
Of course I could do a "cvs add file" and "cvs ci file" before doing the copy
("cp Somewhere/file file"), and then "ci" the new "version". BUT for this I
must know, that there is an old file available. If I forget that there is an
old version, and I have already added the new file under the same name, I
copuld not resolv the CVS errors until I delte the ",v" file in the REPO.
What is the "correct" way to handle these kind of situations ???
Thank you very much for any comments !
