RE: Retrieving dead files from the Attic
Hi I am also interested in the best way to retrieve dead files. We have had several files and some directories deleted properly through CVS. We are working only on the head (no branches or tags yet, as it is a new project). I have run a few unix commands to determine which files were removed, (removed by one person on May 18th), but do not have the latest revision numbers. What is the best/proper way to retrieve these files from the Attic? Deb Comeau Here's another question I have on the same topic: If a file is removed from CVS properly (by rm, cvs rm, cvs ci), what gets committed to the Attic exactly? Both the file and its sister comapnion file,v or just the latter? I've noticed that I only get to see the latter version under all my Attic subfolders, if this is the case then I'm good but the original file needs to be visible in the Attic too along with its file,v, then our developers have not been properly deleting or removing files from cvs and we're in trouble. I still have not managed to retrieve my lost files from the Attic, executing the 3 commands I listed. They simply don't work and retrieve new files with zero or empty cotent. Help! Thanks. Original Message Follows From: S I [EMAIL PROTECTED] No, it was committed to the Attic in the subfolder where the file was deleted. I'm now on the repository and see this file in the Attic. However, I'm not sure whether to retrieve from the server side or my desktop/client side? The 3 steps I posted seem to be done from the client side? Am I on the right track? Thanks. - From: Russ Sherk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Did you commit the file to the Attic? i.e. cvs ci myRepoPath/Attic/myFile.txt Or did you commit to a branch but not to main trunk (or vice-a-versa)?

S I wrote: Here's another question I have on the same topic: If a file is removed from CVS properly (by rm, cvs rm, cvs ci), what gets committed to the Attic exactly? Both the file and its sister comapnion file,v or just the latter? The original file is never copied into the repository. When you 'cvs remove' a file, CVS adds a new revision to the ,v file, with the state dead, and the file is moved into the Attic. I still have not managed to retrieve my lost files from the Attic, executing the 3 commands I listed. They simply don't work and retrieve new files with zero or empty cotent. Help! Keep in mind that just because a file is in the Attic does not mean it is completely dead. It only means that the *trunk* is dead. Unless the file was explicitly checked into the Attic directory (which is unlikely, because the developer really has to go through hoops to do that) then everything can be done from your client. What does a 'cvs log' show for one of the files? (You can trim the log messages themselves, but please keep intact the header and the revision state info, e.g.: RCS file: /cvs_repository/conversations/factory/save.txt,v Working file: save.txt head: 1.1 branch: locks: strict access list: symbolic names: keyword substitution: kv total revisions: 1; selected revisions: 1 description: revision 1.1 date: 2003/03/09 16:26:19; author: Jim; state: Exp; [log message trimmed] = -- Jim ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

I'm now on the repository and see this file in the Attic. However, I'm not sure whether to retrieve from the server side or my desktop/client side? The 3 steps I posted seem to be done from the client side? Am I on the right track? Thanks.

If the second is the case, then you can just merge the file from the branch to the main trunk: cvs co myRepoPath/ cvs up -j branch_name myRepoPath/myFile.txt (Note the lack of Attic in the path) --Russ On 5/25/05, S I [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We're running the cvs Repo on a linux box
