In the file MINOR-BUGS there is this entry: * "cvs status" has a difference in its output between local and client/server mode. Namely there's a tab character followed by a ctime(3)-style date string at the end of the "Working revision:" field.
Looking at the status command it's not apparent what date/time should be displayed here( if at all ). In local mode the date/time stamp that is output is the same as what the CVS/Entries file has for the date time stamp. The CVS/Entries time date stamp is different depending on whether or not you have updated or checked out the file. On original checkout the time date stamp placed into the CVS/Entries file is the time/date stamp that was the time/date of the last commit into the repository for that file. On update the CVS/Entries file time/date stamp is updated to the time/date of the update when the user runs the update. In server mode no date/time stamp is output, this is because there is no way the cvs server can look at the CVS/Entries file that is local to the client machine. Would it be apropriate to just modify the cvs status command to not output a date time string? donald _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
