Thanks Todd.
Please correct me in stating that
"CVS annotate cannot do this job by itself
like in SCCS and
we have to rely on the options like
cvs log and cvs diff like in the
examples you have given below".
From cvs --help-commands
annotate Show last revision where each line was modified
In my opinion it should really read:
annotate Show the revision where each line currently in the file came to
be as it is now, in the repository.
I have no idea what SCCS command you are speaking of, or what exactly it did,
even though I used SCCS for ~2 years.
and there is no 'history' command for SCCS or even CSSC:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/toc.htm
http://cssc.sourceforge.net/documentation.shtml
so what are you talking about? (there is no gentle way of asking that.)
This is my understanding about the options available. Please correct me if I
'm wrong.
It might help us to know Why you want to see deleted lines, as we could
probably come up with a more useful command, or a better way to use annotate.
Summary, for most of us seeing when a line that currently exists was put into
a file is useful (get it from annotate), for most of us knowing how MANY lines
were deleted in a file in a particular revision is useful (get it from log),
for most of us knowing how a SET of lines changed between two revisions is
useful (get it from diff).
Because no one has explained why seeing a file with all the deleted lines for
the whole history of a file is useful:
A) we don't have a command to spit it out.
B) we are having trouble coming up with a useful set of commands for you.
C) annotate don't do that.

Sriranjani S

Hi Amaresh,
Thanks for your response.
But cvs log <filename> only gives the log history of the file,
the details of name, time and checkin comments of each revision.
How can we get the information about deleted lines from this?
example cvs log <filename> output:
revision 1.1.2.6
date: 2007/09/20 16:37:26; author: dennis; state: Exp; lines: +27 -48
note the last bit: lines: +27 -48
which shows that 21 more lines were removed than lines added (at this check in).
If I wanted to know what was removed and added I would then issue:
cvs diff -u -r1.1.2.5 -r1.1.2.6 <filename>
If I only wanted to see what was removed (with out proper context)
cvs diff -u -r1.1.2.5 -r1.1.2.6 <filename> |grep -e "^-"
Thanks and Regards
Sriranjani S

Hi,
Is there any way to identify the information of deleted lines in a file through
CVS annotate or any other means?
I 'am looking for a feature in CVS similar to the history feature of deleted
lines available in SCCS.
Also, I have used the Web interfaces CVS Web
(http://www.FreeBSD.org/projects/cvsweb.html<http://www.freebsd.org/projects/cvsweb.html>)
and ViewCVS (http://www.viewvc.org/)
For browsing through the source history more easily. Annotate option in these
interfaces also doesn't give me any information of the deleted lines.
Can anyone clarify the usage of annotate and also suggest the way to identify
the history of deleted lines in CVS.
Version of CVS in use:
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.18 (client/server)
Thanks,
Sriranjani S
