(no > commitinfo scripts are run with '-n' and I don't think they should be or > ever need to be) I believe this statement does not reflect the current state of cvs. (I may have missed something where you wanted to change the existing behavior and are using that as the basis for your statement.) The commitinfo triggers are run even when the -n switch is used. Try it for yourself with a stock version of cvs 1.11.x or cvs 1.12.x. cvs -d `uname -n`:/tmp/my-repos init cvs -d `uname -n`:/tmp/my-repos co CVSROOT cd CVSROOT echo 'DEFAULT echo commitinfo trigger running:' >> commitinfo cvs commit -m new-default commitinfo touch foo cvs add foo cvs -n ci -madd-foo foo You should get the output: commitinfo trigger running: /tmp/my-repos/CVSROOT foo In addition, the current 'cvs' requires that you actually contact the server to cause a new directory to be added. If I just do a simulated call that modifies a 'mkdir newdir && cvs add newdir' to these steps: mkdir newdir newdir/CVS echo 'D/newdir////' >> CVS/Entries cp CVS/Root newdir/CVS/Root echo `cat CVS/Repository`/newdir > newdir/CVS/Repository touch newdir/CVS/Entries then subsequent 'cvs update' operations will have problems such as this: % cvs up cvs update: Updating . A foo cvs update: Updating newdir cvs update: cannot open directory /tmp/my-repos/CVSROOT/newdir: No such file or directory cvs update: skipping directory newdir % which will require that 'newdir' be created via a 'cvs add' conversation with the server eventually. As a reminder, no matter how much folks believe things should be different: - currently the 'cvs add' command talks to the server - on the occasion of a 'directory' being added, the directory is created in the repository if a lock may be created and valid permissions exist to create it. Next, the loginfo trigger is run. Any changes to cvs to alter the behavior of 'cvs add' should allow for new clients to talk to old servers and for old clients to talk to new servers in addition to new clients talking with new servers. -- Mark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCAWNI3x41pRYZE/gRAgcDAJ9PFZp5BsFd+DbwyZb9sggYIn/ltgCgtbRn 0cXV85BlYqwfwNaPd3dbF1Y= =RieR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
