=================== BUG #2640: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=2640&group_id=11
Submitted by: benja Project: Savannah Submitted on: 2003-Feb-23 13:35 Category: None Severity: 5 - Average Priority: None Bug Group: None Resolution: None Assigned to: None Status: Open Effort: 0.00 Summary: CVS page should recomment '-P' Original Submission: The commands listed on Savannah projects' CVS page do not include the -P option for pruning empty directories. Projects which have changed the layout of their source tree at any point in their lifetime will therefore be checked out with superfluous, empty directories sure to confuse the person who's just downloaded them. I suggest that the -P option is added after all 'co' commands on the CVS page. Further, to make things easier for CVS newbies, I suggest that the text "When you update from within the module's directory (with cvs update) you do not need the -d option anymore." is replaced by a new section entitled "Updating a checked out directory": "A directory containing a checkout of a CVS repository can be updated to the newest version with the following command, executed in the directory (this applies to both anonymous and developer CVS access): cvs up -dP" No Followups Have Been Posted CC list is empty No files currently attached For detailed info, follow this link: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=2640&group_id=11
