file sharing question
With CVS 1.11, Can I share a file between two folders? How can I do that? Thanks, Anjali ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Question - commiting modified file
When I generate some files during the build, they appear as 'modified' in CVS. when I do a 'diff' the exit status is '0' indicating that the files are indentical. 1. Do they have 'modified' status due to the file creation time stamp? 2. Out of 20-30 files that are generated, some may actually be different. So how do I checkin only those that changed? Is there some thing like a force checkin which allows me to checkin all files with the updated comment? (Though the file appears 'modified' CVS does not seem to commit it if it is actually an identical file, is this correct?) 3. After doing a 'commit' on a file that appears modified but is identical, CVS does not check in that file. But the file continues to appear as 'modified'. How can I get it to show the status as current? Thanks, Anjali ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: Commit Problem
You get the error because you are trying to commit to the tag 'vuelto_multimoneda POS_Z'. If you need to modify seperately from the main trunk, you need to specify the tag as a branch cvs tag -b 'My_Tag'. If you trying to modify on the main trunk, don't run the second command cvs checkout -P -r vuelto_multimoneda POS_Z . -Anjali "Federico Vaca ( Invel )" wrote: I'm using wincvs , and y checkout my working copy of my project andget it ... *CVS exited normally with code 0* cvs checkout -P -r vuelto_multimoneda POS_Z After that , i modified a file , and when i try to make a commit , get : cvs commit -m "Commit del archivo bat, federico-." l.batcvs server: sticky tag `vuelto_multimoneda' for file `l.bat' is not a branch cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first! *CVS exited normally with code 1* What can i do ?

Re: "it is in the way" problem
I have my CVS repository all setup and working but occasionally I am seeing some really strange errors. Every once in a while when doing an update I get a whole bunch of "move away file X, it is in the way" errors. This seems to happen quite randomly and I haven't been able to pin it down. Anybody ever experienced something like this? Heres the CVS command I'm using to update my working copy: cvs -d :ext:user@server:/repository -z3 up -d -I ! -I CVSI believe this error occurs when/if you have deleted/moved etc some of the CVS files that are created at checkout. It helps to delete that directory/module and checkout again. Subsequent update commands will not have the error. -Anjali Jason Allen wrote: I have my CVS repository all setup and working but occasionally I am seeing some really strange errors.

Re: "it is in the way" problem
I do not know what goes on in the CVS folders - it is best to leave it to CVS. As someone pointed out in an earlier reponse, if you get the "it is in the way" problem it is best to start fresh i.e. delete(or rename if you have local modifications) the existing folder and checkout a new copy. If someone creates a new folder which is not in your working copy, the update -d will always create it for you. I am not sure this helps, but once you start getting the 'it is in the way' errors, I have not found a way to get CVS in synch with the working folder. -Anjali Jason Allen wrote: > Well this is how it happens: > > The folder on the client contains one directory (/media) that was checked > out of CVS correctly, all subdirectories have CVS folders with correct > Entries, Root, and Repository files.

Re: log only changed files
I think you may be able to use the CVS rdiff or patch command to list all the files that changed. But it will not list the actual changes. -Anjali Fabian Cenedese wrote: > Hi > > With cvs log -rLAST_TAG:: I get a list of all files and the changes they had > since this tag.

Good luck answering it then! ;-) In the mean time you might want to look harder at analysing whatever fears you might have about the copy-edit-merge model, look at some of the many studies showing how well it actually works in practice (including the one in the original CVS-II paper in the distribution), and maybe even take a look at one of the thousands of publicly available CVS repositories for various freeware projects and see some actual examples of this model working in practice (you'll probably want to pick a project that has lots of developers, for example FreeBSD). I agree that a deeper look into the copy-edit-merge model will help reduce the fear. We used a reserved lock model before switching to CVS and I understand why you would start looking at lock features of CVS ! But we are doing pretty well with the copy edit merge model. And yes, it did take some believe-in-what-so-many-are-doing and some actual playing with it to realise its benefits and overcome the resistance. -Anjali
Re: why does wincvs show all files as modified
Just fyi...we came across the exact problem that all files appeared "locally modified" after the daylight savings time switch. And yes, 'status' is the best way to work around this problem. Thanks for the detailed information on this WinCVS bug/problem.

Re: synchronizing local with repository
I would recommend use the following command: cvs -n release dir The release command checks that no uncommitted changes are present. It indicates that a directory is no longer in use and safely cancels the effect of cvs checkout. Use the global "-n" option so that release will not actually do anything, but only report all uncommitted changes. -Anjali [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm trying to automate the following: Commit all modified files. Add all files present locally but missing from repository. Merge all files (if possible) that are edited locally and on repository. I'm trying to eliminate as much human error as possible due to developers forgetting to keep the repository consistent with their local environments. I'm assuming that this is possible with cvs. Is it possible to achieve this with existing cvs commands or will I have to add intermediary stages e.g. generate a list of all files requiring adding and then iterate over the list adding each one.
