Hi all, Please don't hurt me!!!
Alright - I've setup TortoiseCVS for CVS on my system (W2K SP4, all patches). I merged it to my existing DQSD directory so I wouldn't have to have to go to any extra effort duplicating searches (I intend to make a ton more) between my install directory and a local CVS cache. First - is this a problem? What I've been trying to do is mark a few files - the 'local*' ones particularly and stuff like the Kim Possible search for my son (which still doesn't work right :( ) - as being ignored by cvs so it doesn't think it needs to upload those files to the server. Not that it would anyway - I imagine (and hope) it waits for me to explicitly push them - but all the same... It's not giving me the option in the right-click menu to ignore them. Why not? Do I have to do anything in particular? Can I manually add the file to the .cvsignore? If I do [I already did :/] what I have to do to make it 'take' the changes? "Rebuild Icons" doesn't work and I imagined it would have at least set the changes when I closed/re-opened Explorer to the folder. Nope. In my efforts to always at least provide something of value - I found a nifty little trick to TortoiseCVS... right-click over the Windows Explorer column titles (Name/Size/Type) in Details view and select "More..." from the list. In the window that appears check the box next to "CVS Status" and click OK. The resulting window will now display an additional column reflecting the CVS Status of all files and folders within the current directory (by default this change only applies to the current directory - and I doubt there are many people out there that need to create a CVS copy of their entire system). You can now sort by CVS status - in case you want a more visible display of modified files. One last thing - am I off track in thinking that if I "update" I won't overwrite anyone else's work as long as I don't "commit"? The help file is - well - sparse. Regards, Shawn K.
