Hi, The CVS man page says that the -D option to the update command implies -P, but I find it to be different in practice. This can be demonstrated with the GDB CVS repository:
1. Checkout anonymous GDB CVS tree as instructed here: http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/ 2. After the checkout, verify that the directory libdecnumber exists and has source code files in it. 3. Go back some months: $ cvs update -D 2007-05-05 4. Note that the libdecnumber directory exists but has no source code (just two subdirectories, which also don't have source code). 5. Update using -P option this time: $ cvs update -D 2007-05-05 -P 6. Note that there is no libdecnumber directory anymore (which is correct). Since results from step 4 and step 6 are different, -D does not imply -P as the man page says. I don't know whether the CVS behaviour is wrong or the man page is wrong. This is with CVS version 1.12.13. -- []'s Thiago Jung Bauermann Software Engineer IBM Linux Technology Center _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
