I'm trying (for the first time) to track a large 3rd party distribution. So of course I screwed it up: I unzip'ed the distribution in the working directory itself and then imported it, which resulted in all the CVS subdirectories being imported into the repository. Further, I had committed a local change to a few files (including some binary files) in the original distribution, so the import complained about conflicts and I followed its advice to checkout the original version of the distribution.
I want to undo all of that. I don't want any record of the erroneous import in the repository. How?
Should I infer from the complete lack of responses over the last 5 days
that my only option is to delete the distribution directory in the repository itself, and start over with the current version?
Here's exactly what I did:
cd ~/public/3rdParty/java/saxon
unzip /tmp/saxonb8-4.zip
Note that the Saxon distribution does not adhere to convention: its .zip file includes the distribution files and subdirectories at the top level, not within a ./saxonb8-4 directory.
cvs import -ko -m "Import of Saxon-B 8.4" \ public/3rdParty/java/saxon SOURCEFORGE_DIST SAXON_B_8_4
cvs checkout -jSAXON_B_8_3 -jSAXON_B_8_4 public/3rdParty/java/saxon
Thanks, -- Kevin Rodgers
