Does anyone know how to check out just 1 file (as opposed to a whole directory) in WinCVS, Eclipse, or some other client? cvs checkout cvsClient/client.c Sorry, I've been directed to find a gui client that allows this. Do you know of any? WinCVS has a command line mode-- either through the 'Admin' menu, or in the status area provided you have TCL installed, and in your path. Command Line GUI. My department wants a GUI that allows graphical browsing of the repository tree and the ability to check out individual files. The ability to shell out and type commands by hand will underwhelm those whom I'm trying to convert to CVS. Any other ideas?

(this might help us come up with a better answer for you) If you are looking for the users to know they are the only ones editing the file try the cvs watch command, or for something closer to locks see Noel Yap's RCVS patches. The standard mode of operation, what cvs and its clients, expect is that the developer will checkout either a directory structure or part of a directory structure, each of which can be defined as a modules in the CVSROOT/modules file. Even when you checkout a single file with CVS it makes the directory structure up to the file. I suppose that you could either put each file in it's own directory or setup the modules file to point to a single file for each module, but to me and probably others the question is WHY, CVS was meant to let multiple developers work on multiple files at one time. http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_10.html#SEC83 -- I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb.

Phil, Why do they want to check out individual files? (this might help us come up with a better answer for you) Well, most of what we do is on a file-by-file basis. For example, we have directories full of nothing but SQL files. Each file contains the SQL needed to generate one of the Oracle views used by our ERP. There are *hundreds* of these source SQL files. If we need to tweak one of these SQL files, it would be onerous to checkout all the other, unrelated files. Is that a good example? We don't write much compiled code around here... the traditional project paradigm doesn't seem to fit for us. [SNIP] ...Even when you checkout a single file with CVS it makes the directory structure up to the file. And that's no problem. In fact, I can type the full path into Tortoise CVS and it does just that (creates the dir structure empty except for specified file). So Tortoise CVS is the best so far for us, only it lacks the nice ability to browse the repository tree. Eclipse offers the nicest repository browser, but has no way to specify just one file. Thanks very much for your response. If my comments have clarified the issue, I look forward to any other suggestions.

Do you know of any? You can do this in WinCVS. In the checkout dialog, where it says Module name and path on the server, just type in the full path to the file - e.g., /module/name/path/to/phils/file.txt. /|/|ike P.S. WinCVS is also scriptable via Tcl and/or Python, so it can probably do anything you desire, provided you have the resources to script it. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
