how to un-add an added but uncommitted file?
Hi, say I 've added wrongly a file named FILE to a repository. I still haven't done a commit on that one. If I do a cvs remove FILE the files get's thrown away and doesn't belong any longer to the module. If I simply delete the file and do an update on the module I get the warning warning: new-born FILE has disappeared So far so good, both methods seem to remove the file from my repository, well I know, actually the file is not there yet, but anyway... BUT, I'd like to preserve the file itself! Is there a way of un-adding a file which got by accident added without deleting it??

Rename the file, do what you have done above, and rename it back. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.

Hi Edwin, Maybe this is an obviously stupid suggestion but how about in your second method instead of deleting, you rename it... Then rename it back after you do the update? OK, that would solve it, but yes, it doesn't really sound like a perfect solution, because I'd have to rename, update and rename again... Strange! :) Marko ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

To me, it seems very strange that you want to preserve a file, but not have it in CVS. Surely if it's that important it should be under version control? -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.

Dear Jim and folks, Strange is in the eye of the beholder. true! :) To me, it seems very strange that you want to preserve a file, but not have it in CVS. Surely if it's that important it should be under version control? Well, say it's obj-file or an exe which you added just accidentally while going through a bunch of files. You don't want to restart the compiler to recreate them, perhaps... That would be my arguments! :) OK, I see, I have to live with the renaming thing. :) Not that I am totally against it, it's only that I thought there might have been a cleaner way to achieve that! :| Thanks for your responses!

I would remove file ``filename,t'' from CVS directory, and also remove corresponding entry for the file CVS/Entries.
