RE: Partial checkout of an ampersand module
If you want the same file all the time, you could also try this: modules: part_one_file -d part_one path/to/part_one file cvs co part_one_file and you should get U part_one/file Haven't tried it with the -d, but I have done the selected file checkout by specifying: modulereposdirectory file ... in the modules file. It doesn't work with ampersand modules though. For example: moduleA path/to/whateverA fileA moduleB path/to/whateverB fileB ampermodmoduleA moduleB If you checkout moduleA you'll get fileA only. If you checkout moduleB you'll get fileB only, but if you check out ampermod, you'll get all of the contents of whateverA and whateverB. Just ignores the file specifics for some reason.

Bill Biessman [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: QUESTION: Is there a way to check out just one file from the tree below an ampersand module specifying the complete path? MORE DETAIL: I have a line in my modules file that looks like: whole_thingpart_one part_two First of all, you can already check out part_one by itself: cvs checkout part_one If you really want a single file from part_one, figure out what part_one is. There should be a line in the modules file that says something like part_onepath/to/part_one You can then do cvs checkout path/to/part_one/subdir/myfile and you will get myfile, 4 directories deep. ... look at the file for a while with a script, and then: cvs update -C -P -d whole_thing to get the rest of the files in the project. Won't work. Commit myfile from your deep sandbox and wipe out the sandbox. Then do a full checkout of whole_thing. But if you're going to check out whole_thing eventually, why not do it up front and keep it checked out? -- Pierre Asselin Westminster, Colorado -= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =- ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
