Ignoring (binary) files in update/commit
Hi I've read through the archive and there are quite a lot of postings concerning one or the other aspect but I still have a problem. My first intention was to store the binary project files in the repository as well as the source code. But this only to have a compileable project after a checkout. I don't want the project to get updated as it is changed on every open. This would blow up the repository for nothing. 1. How can I exclude a (local) file from being updated or committed if it is in the repository? Neither -I nor CVSIGNORE helped on this. They only work if a local file is NOT in the repository. (I haven't tried .cvsignore as it is not that easy to create such a file under Windows...) Then I thought I could store them in a second module in the same repository. So I'd have version control without checking it every time as it is in a different module than the source code. I could set it up but had problems in checkout. 2. Can I checkout from different modules/roots into the same directory? When I tried cvs complained as there already were cvs files so it couldn't handle files in the same directory from different modules. After reading the archive about this I decided it wasn't a good idea to store the project files in a repository anyway. I can hold it some place else and copy it to my checked out source files. Works but not very neat. 3. How do the professional cvs projects handle this problem? I mean even cvs itself is organized as cvs project. When I check out the sources are there also project files? Don't they get updated or committed if they change? FYI I'm using the downloaded 1.11.1p1 under WinNT4 on a local repository. Thank you F.
