How to use rcsdiff options in WinCVS : diff -I regexp

2004-07-07 Thread Yves Guerte
I want to do a diff between multiple files (that appear modified in WinCVS) and the repository. I have a huge amount of files that have only differences like: < #$RCSfile: toto.cml,v $ --- > #$RCSfile: toto_gcc.cml,v $ Within WinCVS I have coped with the CVS keywords with the "diff -ko" option b

Do most people checkout read-only and use "cvs edit"?

2004-07-07 Thread Karr, David
I have a question about how people use CVS. How common is it to always checkout and update read-only, and then use "cvs edit" when you start working on a file? Or, do people checkout read-write and never use "cvs edit"? I have always thought that modules should be checked out read-only, and "cvs

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi David, 'cvs edit' and 'cvs watchers' is something that was bolted on to cvs as a way to give advistory locking to cvs for files that are difficult to merge. In general, I never use it (other than to test that the feature still appears to work). I

We never use "cvs edit". In my opinion, that negates the whole benefit of the "C" in "CVS". -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karr, David Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 2:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Do most people checkout read-only

I'm not talking about locking. It's always impractical to "check out with locks", in any SCM. I'm just talking about what happens in the user's client view. I was under the impression before that "cvs edit" just affects the file in the user's client view. Does this also lock the file on the ser

I don't believe the 'edit' does a lock on the server. Quoting Vesperman's book: "The cvs edit command is used as part of the cvs watch family of commands. If a file is being watched, it is checked out to the sandbox with read permissions but not write permissions. The edit command sets the sandb
