Tag/branch question

2005-06-15 Thread Lemke, Michael IZ/HZA-IOM
I've got some difficulty in understanding how to tag dead revisions such that branch merges will work. Consider this: Initial state (version, tag): 1.3 LAST_MERGED 1.4 REL_1 Now merge on some branch: cd branch... cvs up -j LAST_MERGED -j REL_1 cvs rtag -F -r REL_1

Regarding check-in of unicode characters.

Hi All,     We are trying to check-in the following characters into CVS. But while doing so, the highlighted characters get corrupt and upon checking out, these are replaced by some other characters. Sí (means yes in Spanish) Sì (means yes in Italian) Can anybody provide a

Working on sources in parallel

2005-06-15 Thread Matthias Kaeppler
Hello, just recently we had the problem that two people had checked out the same module and were working on it independently. When the second one committed his sources again, CVS reported an error (I can't reproduce it 100% here, sorry) about the sources not being up-to-date. However, I

This is intentional by CVS. So here's the scenario Person1 Person2 working on file1.c and hence have a copy of the file in their respective sandbox. Person1 checks-in file1.c, updating the repository copy. Person2 checks in file1.c, CVS complains Your file is out of date (or the like).

CVS automation kicked in for you. It recognized a concurrent change and instructed you to update your local copy before checking in the changes. Updating before checking in is a sound policy that avoids those errors. Allows you to do a local integration test prior to checking in. You just had a

The silence is telling: not a common problem. As you indicated the problem is intermittent and not easily reproduced: the worst kind! Could it be a buggy release? Maybe: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2004-10/msg00252.html It is fixed in cvs 1.11.17.1 (will be in cvs 1.11.18) with

I'd make a copy of your repository directory but my guess is there will be no compatibility issues between your repository and new CVS binaries. Just update the package and any dependencies using RPM. Not to say it isn't the client, but you can upgrade those later. -Original Message-

Title: Message Maninder, CVS does not support Unicode files, instead they must be committed as binary, in which case you cannot do diff/merge etc. CVSNT on Mac/Linux/Unix/Windows (free, open source, GPL, just like CVS) does support unicode files (-ku). Please supply more information

I have another question. Let's stick to the scenario Christopher made up. Say person1 thinks it'd be a good idea to remove some helper-function foo(), and replace it with another function bar(). Then he commits the sources. Person2 still works on the outdated source, where foo() exists, and he
