Here's another question I have on the same topic:
If a file is removed from CVS properly (by rm, cvs rm, cvs ci), what
gets committed to the Attic exactly? Both the file and its sister
comapnion file,v or just the latter?
The original file is never copied into the repository. When you 'cvs
remove' a file, CVS adds a new revision to the ,v file, with the state
"dead", and the file is moved into the Attic.
I still have not managed to retrieve my lost files from the Attic,
executing the 3 commands I listed. They simply don't work and retrieve
new files with zero or empty cotent. Help!
Keep in mind that just because a file is in the Attic does not mean it
is completely dead. It only means that the *trunk* is dead.
Unless the file was explicitly checked into the Attic directory (which
is unlikely, because the developer really has to go through hoops to do
that) then everything can be done from your client.
What does a 'cvs log' show for one of the files? (You can trim the log
messages themselves, but please keep intact the header and the revision
state info, e.g.:
RCS file: /cvs_repository/conversations/factory/save.txt,v
Working file: save.txt
head: 1.1
branch:
locks: strict
access list:
symbolic names:
keyword substitution: kv
total revisions: 1; selected revisions: 1
