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.
