My CVS client is on Widows XP Professional version 2002 with SP1.
I need to merge a branch to the trunk, and since we have binary files in both places, I thought of performing the following steps to avoid merging the binary files:
1. From the trunk sand box, run the following command:
cvs update -j Release_2_2_0 -j Release_2_2_0_Branch
After the above command is done, I’ll make a list of all the modified file by checking the “.#” files.
2. I’ll update the trunk files by putting them back to their original state before the merge.
3. Based on the list I made earlier, I’ll run the following command only on the files that needs to be merged:
cvs update -kk -j Release_2_2_0 -j Release_2_2_0 filename
My questions are:
Q1. Is the above is the best method to use to handle the merge between branches when there are binary files that should NOT be merged?
Q2. After I merge the text files using the “-kk”, do I need to reset the merged files to remove “-kk” option?
Thanks,
Sameh |
