Re: wrong commit/ seeking branching advice
Hi Ed, Is there a way to reverse the changes, or at least move the changed revision from the main trunk to the branch? CVS is like the toilet paper - once you use it, it's not clean to roll it back ;-) To get over it just make a desired branch from a current main trunk, then ckeck out recent main trunk, export (cvs export) the version you want to be `on the top' and commit changes. it to use MySQL on a central server. In this case, is it natural to use the branching technique to differentiate the non-Mysql app to the MySQL app? Or should I just forget the branches and use a seperate repository? It depends up to you. Generally speaking branches are good for several versions of the same software. If your apps share the same source files, branches would help you. If this is not the case you can use modules to have everything together but relatively independent. Separate repositories expect no links between projects. You can define independent permissions, pre and post-commit actions etc. but you are not sharing the same sources.

What I can do with a ,v file if cvs sais cvs [checkout aborted]: premature end of change in .../bla.c,v if I do cvs co -r x.y.z.w bla.c ? First, figure out how the corruption happend and make sure it doesn't happen again. The most common cause is accessing the repository with NFS (or some other network file system), although hardware problems are also a possibility (especially if you're using cheap PC hardware with no error checking). You may be able to fix the file by getting an uncorrupted copy from a backup (you do back up your repository, don't you?), extracting each new revision that's in your current file and adding it to the backup copy (using RCS commands), and then replacing the corrupted file with the new file. Failing that, fixing a corrupted file is a black art -- you're going to have to become intimately familiar with the RCS file format and dig in with a text editor and whatever you can reconstruct of the file's history. -Larry Jones I think your train of thought is a runaway. -- Calvin's Mom ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
file permissions
Hi, all I have installed CVS with cygwin under windows2k operation system. It is working properly. Further more,I want to specify the files permissions for different group of users. I have read the cvs manualfrom http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_2.html#SEC13 and I have used the command chmod to specify a read only access rights to the repository for the user named cvsuser, but I found that when I log in as cvsuser and tried to access the repository, I can check out file and commit file properly, except that there is a warning which said that can not write to history file. What I want is that there should be a totally fail if without write permission, but not only a warning there. By the way, can I make the restriction to prevent some user from reading some files from the repository? It seems that I can not take away the read permission from users by using command chmod. It seems that all the directories and files should be readable at least for all the users. Can anyone give some help? thanks alot!

RE: PVCS2CVS
I found what the problem was ... my environment was point to perl/bin, there is get function utility under perl/bin/ but the script needs pvcs/nt/get utility instead. BTW. You don't need Active Perl for Windows and CVSNT, RCS 5.7, Perl 5.004_04 or higher for windows are enough, you can use CygWin or mksnt to run the script.

$Name:1500E$
Hi All I have a simple cpp file. I am using WinCVS 1.2 If the change we are trying to commit into CVS is delimited within $ characters like in a specific line it has $Name:1500E$ then CVS is not able to get the changes on the file - though it gets updated and the commit is fine - giving a new revision number. Kindly let me know, if any workout for it...
