Assuming that your file is in a module called "usr", then you could do this:
cvs checkout -p usr/local/bin/test.pl > /usr/dev/rubbish/test.pl However, you'll only get the file; you won't get a CVS directory with the repository metadata. (But if you're cutting an extract or distribution, that's probably fine.) -----Original Message----- From: Alistair Young [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 12:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CVS get without recursion Hi all, Hope you can help! I'm trying to "get" files from a CVS server that we've set up: 1) Files are in the CVS server with a path such as "/usr/local/bin/test.pl" 2) I want to get the file "test.pl" to a completely different directory For example, I want to get this file to /usr/dev/rubbish. When I do this, however, it gets put in as /usr/dev/rubbish/usr/local/bin/test.pl It's like extracting files with full path from a ZIP file. Is there any way to turn this directory recursion off? - so I can get the file as /usr/dev/rubbish/test.pl? _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
