WinCVS case problem
Hello! I am using WinCVS 11b4 I have the following problem: when a file is created with a mixed-case (upper/lower) name, e.g. BuildFlow.html After I add it to cvs and commit, in the repository I see the file buildflow.html Therefore, this is a conflict (because windows ignores case), and I can not update. On the other hand, the file appears as not in CVS. Did someone else encounter a similiar behaviour? Anyway, it would be helpful if WinCVS would recognise this problem (when new and old file names are identical except for the problem) and either try to handle it somehow, or give a meaningful message.

WinCVS non-cvs directory problem
Hello! I am using WinCVS 11b4 on Win98. I encountered the following problem: a directory is marked with V sign in the browser window, even if it is not under CVS, just like directories that are under CVS. There does not seem to be any information that a directory needs to be added to CVS. Any tips? Thanks, MST -- This message content is not part of Intel's views or affairs Michael S.

WinCVS: # of lines changes incorrect and inconsistent
Hello, I am using WinCVS as a client tool to access CVS Server in UNIX. Sometimes when you add 1 line to a 900-line file and the change was interpreted as adding 901 lines and removing 900 lines. I have tried it in both UNIX using CVS and WinCVS and sometimes I can duplicate this problem; other times I can't. In order to use diff function, which is important to our developers in the coding process, we really need CVS to recognize # of lines changed correctly. Could anyone shed some light as to why this is happening from time to time and how to work around it? Thanks.

"cvs commit" should have told you it was removing the file -- did you just delete it and not "cvs remove" it? And why are you giving commit a directory name? Commit is normally done from within the working directory (a term you seem to be misusing, by the way: a "working directory" is a directory that you checked out from CVS, not the parent directory where you did the checkout) without specifying any files. And why are you using rtag? Tags are normally applied using tag in a working directory. And, if you want help, why are you so determined not to supply the additional information I requested? Is it really that hard to cut-and-paste the entire sequence of commands you typed and the output you got? It's obvious from the above that you don't know what you're doing, so it's nearly impossible for me to guess exactly what you did wrong. -Larry Jones Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. -- Calvin

automatically locking on checkout ?
is there a way to configure cvs to automatically lock files on checkout? i have users of a particular repository that want all files to be locked (cvs admin lock) upon checkout. thanks. -- Microsoft gives you Windows but Unix gives you the whole house!
RE: WinCVS case problem
There is at least one exception to case preservation, if you explicitly add the file: myFile.txt with the command cvs add myfile.txt When I then delete the mixed case file and then do an update, I get myfile.txt Then the file will be added to cvs as myfile.txt. It seems that the command line case overrides the file's case. Found this in 1.10.8 command line, and may be related to specific adds in wincvs, haven't tested it. -Chris -Original Message- From: Alexandre Parenteau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2000 10:24 AM To: Michael S.

merging branches (sw)
I created a branch a bit earlier than I should have.(The developers were still all working on the build related to branch, and checking the changes into the trunk.) If I had merged the branch right away, would I then have been able to create a branch with the name further up the trunk? Sandra

How to add a disk cache for CVS ?
Hi Developers of CVS, I'm trying to think on how to implement a disk cache for CVS ? We are using CVS on several sites - one big site with 30 persons sharing the same unix machines file system - one medium site with 15 persons sharing another set of Unix machine file system - one small with just a few PC/NT There is no disk sharing between those three sites. All file exchange goes in CVS pserver mode. We're storing big ( 100MB ) binary files under CVS. Wasting disk space is a first issue: (29 persons by 10 files by 100 MB = 28 GB too much) Biggest problem is the time it takes to create a workspace. So I'm thinking of adding the concept of a disk cache to CVS. Something like an enhancement to the CVSREAD feature. File would be checked-out to some kind of shared /tmp directory. The user directory would only be populated with the CVS directories admin files. "checked-out" versions of the file would in fact be a symbolic link to the shared cache directory. I have to add this to the client, and I see three ways of doing it: 1) C-way: modifying the C source code of cvs-1.10.8 to add this feature to the client-side. 2) Perl-way Is there a way to have a wrapper script around the CVS client which will make it only create CVS admin files 3) Yet Another CVS client Writing from scratch a complete client to the CVS pserver protocol which supports this feature. What do you think ?

sanity.sh.howto
Somebody on this list asked awhile ago about how to write sanity.sh test cases, (now I can't seem to find the message though.) It occurred to me that I know a thing or two about that, and it also occurred to me that it was hard-won knowledge. So I took a few minutes to write some of it down. If this (or something like it) would be a useful addition to the CVS distribution, feel free to include it under the GPL. For what it's worth -- steve __ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

Import with removed files
I'm trying to import GNU binutils 2.10 in place of 2.9.1, and a number
of files have either been removed or moved, and so there are a lot of
files which are not in the current import which still get checked out.
Of course I can checkout with -j BINUTILS-2_10, but I'd prefer to only
have to be able to do a checkout.
Is there a relatively easy way to find these files and remove them?
I figure at least I could run something like:
cvs log -h -rBINUTILS-2_10 |grep 'Working file:'|awk '{print $3}'
To get a list of current files, sort this, diff it with the output of
'find', and use that list of files as args to 'cvs remove'. But before
I do this, I want to know if there is a better way?
I notice that the 'cvs log' command above spits out a list of files on
stderr *without* the requested tag/revision:
cvs server: warning: no revision `BINUTILS-2_10' in `/cvsroot/lnxs/lnxs/usr.bin/
binutils/.cvsignore,v'
cvs server: warning: no revision `BINUTILS-2_10' in `/cvsroot/lnxs/lnxs/usr.bin/
binutils/ChangeLog,v'
I suppose I could use this to get the list of files to remove...
Well, is going through and removing them even the right thing to do?

RE: WinCVS: # of lines changes incorrect and inconsistent
I can't say that I have a solution, but I can say that I have noticed this behavior as well. Possible work around for the diff function: use a different "diff" program. We tend to use windiff (part of the NT Resource kit, and included with most Microsoft development projects). The last time I checked (I don't know if this is still true, check the license), if one person had a license for the Resource kit, everyone else in the organization could use the files associated with it. -Chris Liu The information given is mine alone, and does not represent my company in any way. -Original Message- From: Veronica Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2000 8:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: WinCVS: # of lines changes incorrect and inconsistent Hello, I am using WinCVS as a client tool to access CVS Server in UNIX.
