Personally, I'd be in favour of CVS hiding the distinction between "patch" and "update". They both lead to the same end state, and which method CVS chooses is an implementation detail that's irrelevent to end users. The "P" status and the "checksum failure" message should both go away. (Patched and fully-refetched files should all be labelled "U".) I can understand wanting to distinguish the different cases while debugging, but that's what "#ifdef DEBUG" is for... -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.
