I'm a happy cvs user for many years. One of the more annoying
things however is the behaviour of
cvs -n up for large working directories; I use a global -q
option to trim down output, but
still get an enormous list (200+) of '?' before I get my one
or two 'M' entries.
Using -Q will make things worse: now ONLY the '?' lines
appear, and the 'M' entries DISAPPEAR!
I would really like an option to just have the line carrying
information about updates and locally
modified files, i.e. an option to remove all the '?' entries.
Suppressing '?' entries is far too dangerous - you could easily forget to
add a new file to the repository.
Instead, you need to clean up your act. Use the .cvsignore feature to ignore
files you don't need to add to the repository (such as intermediate files)
and delete any unneeded, temporary files. It's far better to run lean and
mean, than to try to ignore the fat.
(btw on Windows my grep behaves quite awkward regarding using
'?', therefore that is currently not an option.)
Sure it is. Just get a decent grep - I use Cygwin, and have c:\cygwin\bin as
part of my standard path. I get the best of both worlds - the power and
flexibility of UNIX-like tools, and the native behaviour of Windows (OK,
maybe best isn't the right word in that context :=)
