Hello, I have a question about WinCVS.
Is there any way that the user is notified every time he performs a "Commit" to perform an "Update" before doing that. Eg: It may ask the user "Are you sure that you want to Commit? Did you already performed an Update?" This is a requirement we are having right now, because, in some cases where there is no conflicts in the source files, there are chances of overwriting the content. Pls. respond me if any one knows the answer. Regards, Santosh. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 9:23 PM To: info-cvs@gnu.org Subject: Info-cvs Digest, Vol 31, Issue 10 Send Info-cvs mailing list submissions to info-cvs@gnu.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Info-cvs digest..."

This is wrong!!!. There are two ways I can think of to do what I THINK you are attempting to do: 1) use a product like cvsup[1] to mirror the repository you want 2) do the checkout from the remote machine some where else and either convince cvs to ignore the CVS directories, or remove the CVS directories, and either import or add all the files into your local repository. method 1 may be easier to do and keep sanely synchronized, but if it (and I have not read the cvsup pages) requires a special program on the server you may be stuck with method 2. > (I pasted in the instructions that were on the site, so I'm pretty sure > I did it right.) > > Now I want to add a file to the local repository (by that I mean the > sandbox).

You should never do a checkout inside of the repository.

I was thinking of using cvs for one of my projects. And i was wondering if any of you got an advice as to how i would install cvs for windows xp. There's a lot of web sites that recommend different approaches in doing so. Since most of them differ in the software (i.e., cvsnt, putty, cgywin) involved in installing cvs, i get confused with which is the best one to use. If you could recommend or suggest anything, I would really really appreciate it. Thank you and Good day! Regards, Michael -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
