Perhaps a couple of other things worth mentioning
(that had me stumped for a short time); perhaps not
in the docs, but at least for the mail archives:
- updating via
cvs up -dRP
will build/prune directories recursively, which is
sometimes necessary;
- if you change a file, and then do a 'cvs up', your
edited file won't get replaced (that's indicated as such
in the file listing coming from the command). If you do
want to replace it, you have to remove it first.
