I've been a casual CVS user for a couple of years now, and I'm
confused by this behaviour. I've looked in FAQs, list archives,
google, and a CVS book and can't find a mention of this behaviour,
and it seems very unexpected. I hope this isn't a FAQ.
If I have a remote CVS repository, "cvs diff" will indicate files that
I've added to my local checked out copy, with "? filename". With a local
repository, "cvs diff" does not indicate added files.
An example, using the same repository. The remote behaviour:
% setenv CVSROOT :ext:jsellens@localhost:/home/jsellens/CVSHOME
% cvs co testproj
% cd testproj
% touch burp
% cvs diff
? burp
cvs server: Diffing .
And locally:
% setenv CVSROOT :local:/home/jsellens/CVSHOME
% cvs co testproj
% cd testproj
% touch barf
% cvs diff
cvs diff: Diffing .
Note that using a remote repository, "cvs diff" indicated the added file,
while the local repository case didn't.
This cvs command claims to be
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1-FreeBSD (client/server)
My question: Is this the expected behaviour? Is there a way to cause
the same behaviour with a local repository?
Thanks very much
John
