this resembles something i (as a newbie) have been thinking about recently -- what are all the ways i can just *query* with regards to a CVS repository? it's this querying that seems to get such short shrift in the CVS documentation i've seen. certainly, there's variations like: $ cvs log ... $ dvs diff ... $ cvs co -c and so on. i think it would be immensely useful for beginners like me to have a reference list/cheat sheet of all of these kinds of options since, in a big way, beginners have a real fear of committing or updating when they don't know what's about to happen. so all the different ways to query an existing repository would be a good start. rday _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
