RE: Can't change ascii/binary type of file
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED -kb or not, I think this brings up what amounts to a bug or yet another instance of surprising and unexpected behavior which needs to be killed. 'cvs remove' doesn't delete the ,v file but just moves it into Attic. Unfortunately when you 'cvs add' a file that has the exact same filename CVS helpfully moves the ,v out of Attic and then appends/modifies the ,v to incorporate the newly added file. This ascii/binary thing is directly attributable to this. It also surprised me when a file I thought had been killed off suddenly came back with a whole revision history attached because the filenames collided. IMO this is uncalled for help from CVS that is actually very unhelpful. Much like Microsoft keeps trying to be helpful and being anything but. I submit that we alter the code so that if there is a name collision in Attic that CVS does NOT try to be helpful but always overwrites the file. And furthermore files in Attic should be inserted only, NEVER pulled back out unless a human directly manipulates the repository by moving the ,v file back into said repository. Somebody might have had the notion at some point that this unremove functionality was useful. If it is, then let's implement it properly. Getting my file back after I've removed it from the repository by 'touching' the file in a working directory and committing it is just plain nuts. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: How to compose a new module out of dirs in other modules !
The use of ampersand modules is half the solution. The other half is http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.14/cvs_18.html#SEC162 (or at least that's how I solved it. If there's a nicer/cleaner way, please do tell) You can create aliases for your other dirs, and add a -d flag in the modules file. ModuleNEW newdir1 newdir2 newdir1 -d Test/dir11 moduleSrc/dir1/dir11 etc. One (slightly ugly, though perfectly as-designed) added feature is that cvs allows you to checkout newdir1 also as a separate module. If you're running a cvs server for multiple users, you might want to mark the extra modules with a '_' for example, and ask your users not to check out modules starting with '_' - though there's no harm when they do. hth, Arno np: The Police - Message In A Bottle - Original Message - From: Peter Biechele [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 10:49 AM Subject: How to compose a new module out of dirs in other modules !

Re: find out check in files in CVS
You should be able to make something out of the rinfo program, which much of the same information as rlog, but in a format that's easier to scan and reformat into what you want.

Re: Can wincvs graph all versions/branches for a module?

So far, I have been able to demonstrate almost everything, except one. Apparently, VSS can show a graph of versions/branches for a module, and I cannot figure out how to do that in wincvs. The graph function seems only to work for individual files. Am I missing some way to do this? No. But on the other hand, VSS requires you to merge files individually. So being able to see the module's graph as a unit rather than file-by-file is only a poor consolation prize. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: WinCVS locking up on startup
Adie wrote: Hi, I appear to have a problem with WinCVS -- when I start it, 100% of cpu is consumed and around 70mb of ram and it just sits there turning my laptop into a very expensive heating appliance. From what I can tell, the WinCVS folder explorer seems to have the root C:\ selected and it's my guess that it is attempting to --recursively-- display all the files under C:\ and hence is having a bit of a tough time. Anyone know of the best way to fix this?

Re: Updating local directory to Match repository
Saad Malik writes: Basically what I want to do, is for the cvs update command to somehow get rid of all the (?) mark files it finds when updating the module. Sorry, there's no way to do that in CVS.

RE: Empty working dir deleted
Sven Jacobs wrote: I'm sure this is a common question but I did not find any help in the FAQ. I accidently deleted an empty working directory before I removed it via the cvs command. How do I get this directory now removed from the repository? Can I just delete it from the repository itself? CVS doesn't version directories. You could delete it from the repository, if there was never anything in the directory. If there *used* to be something, then there will be an Attic subdirectory, which likely holds valuable data you don't want deleted. Just use the -P option when checking out, and the empty directory will not be created locally. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.

RE: find out check in files in CVS
[replying to list in case others want to know this as well] To get a list of files between two dates you can use rdiff. Like so: cvs rdiff -s -D 2004-03-01 -D 2004-03-10 module(s) The -s option give you a single line with the file status of new, changed or removed and a revision number. You can then use a revision number to get the information you want specifically from cvs log, like so: cvs log -N -rrevision file This will provide you with the time, version, comment and user making the change in one step. You'll need to parse the output if you want something easily readable. Oh, and I use the -N option to skip the listing of tags which isn't that useful at this stage. I've got all this scripted together so it's a one step operation. You should be able to do something similar pretty easily. Best of luck.

RE: Can't change ascii/binary type of file
Can a developer commit changes to a file from his workspace after it has previously been deleted and added to attic by some other developer?
