Branches and Dates

I thought I understood this, but the evidence is against me ... We have a situation where we need to see the state of a branch at a point of time in the past. Problem is that if I checkout the branch and then update ... -D date ... what I appear to get is the state of the module at that date wi

Re: branch access control

It was my first thought to use cvs status, but this causes a file locking problem: cvs status: [11:04:23] waiting for markh's lock in /tag/dcacvs/CVSROOT I had presumed this was because the temporary file copies (into /tmp) had to be protected from further changes while CVS completed the commit

(no subject)

 A simple question. Can I discover on which branch a file is being committed from withina script run from the commitinfo file? Basically, I know how to apply per user/module access controls, but I would like to extend this to include branch information so that certain teams are confinedto branches.

CVS and Excel

CVS diff --exclude excluded

Title: CVS diff --exclude excluded In the CVS (1.11.1pl1) source, the GNU option '--exclude' is explicitly omitted from the command line parser data structures with a comment saying it did not seem applicable for CVS. Well, I think I have a need, and I wonder if there are any alternatives or

RE: giving up CVS

Title: RE: giving up CVS Take a look at cvswrappers. If you want all files matching a particular filename pattern to have specific commit options, you can define them here.  For instance, you could have: *.gif   -k  'b' *.jpg   -k  'b'   etc. #!/mjh -Original Message- F

Remote export failures - reason found!

Finally, I realise why remote exports failed for me. The test for a CVS directory, which labels an area as a work area, takes place in a temporary directory on the server. If you have the TopLevelAdmin option set in the CVSROOT/config file, the test sees the CVS directory created by that command

RE: cannot export from remote repo to absolute pathname

I have an exactly similar problem (CVS version 1.11, Solaris 2.6). Looking at the code suggests that the working area check (i.e., is there a CVS directory here) is done at the server and not at the client. Can this be correct? #!/mjh -Original Message- From: Eric Siegerman [mailto:[EMA

RE: CVS setup

(a bit late - sorry!) We manage many InstallShield sources in CVS without any problems. The only thing we try to do (but little goes wrong if we forget!) is to work on the Windows pieces by checking out to windows, and UNIX sources by checking out to UNIX. #!/mjh -Original Message- Fro

This is the way I advocate CVS usage. We use tags of the form 'Build-MMDD-nn' then use a 'Release-NN_MM_XX' tag at the point of release. #!/mjh -Original Message- From: Charles Medcoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 02 March 2001 02:05 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: tag limits? H

Visual Age and Igloo

The compatibility list for Igloo implies that Igloo works most of the time between visual age and a CVS repository. Does anyone have experience in this area? What works and what doesn't? #!/mjh ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.g

Deleted directories reappear in WinCVS

This might be a WinCVS 1.1b14 issue, but I suspect there is something greater happening here! A while ago, I removed a directory from a project because its name only differed in case from a file in the same directory (fine for UNIX, bad for Windows). But I now get failures with WinCVS checkout b
