Think of a bk tree like a cvs repository interleaved with yor working directory. All you have now is the repository, but no checked-out working copy. I suggest to read http://www.bitkeeper.com/Documentation.FAQS.Linux.html Some hints: - You can configure your bk tree in "checkout-get mode" - To see/edit individual files, use "bk get"/"bk edit" It's just like with "cvs co"/"cvs edit", but both is mandantory - make and patch know how to check out files automagically - run "bk helptool" - see linux/Documentation/BK-usage - see http://www.bitkeeper.com/cvs2bk.html -- Stefan Nickl Kontron Modular Computers ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
