Hello, I'm using cvs import for the first time, so I have a question on this. I started importing a project with is some years old and has not been managed by CVS so far into CVS. The project regularly sent out full archives of the source files.
Now, I wrote a skript which untars each full archive and imports it into the repository using the version number as tag (with "." replaced by "-"). Everything works, except for one detail: If I checkout the latest revision, CVS checks out every file, even ones that do not exist with the latest revision anymore. This does not occur if I specifically check out the release with the tag. I read chapter 13 of the cederqvist, especially 13.2 which tells me: "Since import has no way to detect removed files, you should do a merge like this even if import doesn't tell you to." So, this behaviour seems to be by design. Anyway, I ask myself if I can do anything about this to change this behaviour? Section 13.2 seems to tell me that I can change this in the main branch. Unfortunately, there is no main branch currently (I want to track the changes without doing local modifications. The reason for this is that the tar.gz take more than 1 GB, while the CVS repository only takes 50 MB uncompressed, or 8 MB compressed). Is there any chance I can change this behaviour? I would even move the files around (to the attic?) or fiddle with any configuration files if that would help me. Any help is appreciated, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
