It might be more useful to say that the documentation is designed as a reference - it will tell you everything there is to know about one aspect of CVS, then progress to another. This is useful if you already know how CVS works, but far less tractable a resource to actually learn CVS from. The same problem occurs with man pages on Unix; trying to learn Perl programming or shell scripting from their man pages, for example, is generally not possible without expending lots of imagination and time. The Python project solves this by having a wonderful and thorough Tutoral, as well as guides for different programming topics, that supplement the pure reference material in the Library Reference and Language Reference. The references are very useful once you know Python but it is really the Tutorial that gets you there. -- Brandon Craig Rhodes http://www.rhodesmill.org/brandon Georgia Tech [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
