Cvs history -T sometimes returns no records selected-- to some users
Hi!When running the cvs history -T command, sometimes,we see the results(we have 2 branch tags on a repository), but sometimes, it says "No records selected"This is happening to some users; some users can see the list of tags, some others get the above message.The permissions on history file seem ok(666). If I look in the history file, I see 2 lines beginning with 'T', followed by the uid, rep name and branch tag name. So it seems ok too. So what is wrong and why am I getting this problem? TIA.

Commit across multiple directories causes this behavior
Hi I have a script that generates a task number for each commit and adds it to the log message.

For the same log message, it is adding multiple task numbers.Is there anyway I can modify this behavior? i.e get cvs to treat one commit, even if spanning multiple directories as just one commit command? I also see that when users check in thro' an IDE like eclipse, it adds the task number to each line of the log message. Is there anyway to prevent this?

CVS history file size question?
Hello cvs users, First my cvs server is on Redhat 9.0 (kernel2.4.20-28.9smp) and cvs version 1.12.6. I would like to know, how large history file can be? The reason is our cvs history file size is: 1166877300 Apr 20 13:53 history As you see it is about 1.1GB. The last four years history file is less than 500MB, until this year. It add up another 600MB and counting. So I am just little concern about what will happening to cvs if its history file is about 4GB or more? Does it matter with cvs related? or cvs treat as another Linux file. That mean I just need more RAM and Faster CPU when history file get larger and larger? Can some one give me an advise on this matter? Thanks, C- ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

You can always archive then truncate the history file, so it doesn't get too big. I'm surprised your file is so big. Ours was truncated last May, and it's only 14MB now.

Managing multiple branchs
Does anyone have a strategy for managing a production support branch in CVS along with one or more enhancement branches? Specifically, we want to have a branch for production support but we also have one or more projects on independent branches adding on new features under different timelines. Managing the merging of the project branches to trunk isn't an issue, but we are trying to figure out how to handle the production support branch. If we didn't have the project branches, then we would just keep working on the support branches and merge them after QA testing. But with the project branches, the support branch will eventually get out of synch with trunk. So, after all support issues have been fixed, it would be nice to tag trunk and then have the support branch reflect that tag as its new starting point. Not sure if this makes any sense to you, but we just want a way to have the support branch get caught up with the changes made by the project branches. Perhaps it would make sense to have all project branches merge through the support branch before going to trunk. But bug fixes can have timelines of their own and this approach may not be desireable. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

You have to merge down all your latest changes from the existing production branch to the trunk, and then start a new production branch. You might not want to do that right away either; the typical process involves some integration, testing and other development work before identifying a baseline that will be the new production release. -- Meta-CVS: the working replacement for CVS that has been stable for two years.
