Dear all,
RCS used to have a few tricks I used every now and then,
that I haven't found back in CVS yet.
1. When checking-in a file into RCS, one could instruct RCS to use
The RCS keywords in the file to (re-)construct version numbers
etc. Very useful when importing files from a third party.
2. When checking-in a file into RCS, one could "ly" about the author.
Also very useful when importing files that were created by someone
else.
I'm now importing some files created by a third party into my CVS
store. I do that as a so-called vendor branch; but this branch
gets my user name as the author. It would be nice to have the
above mentioned RCS facilities, or at least the second, available
in CVS, but I cannot find them.
Am I not looking hard enough? Is there another trick I could use?
Or is "lying about the author" (term from the RCS manuals) an
unreasonable thing to do under CVS?
Met Vriendelijke Groeten,
Jon Krom
