'cvs log' doesn't show any tags, yet they exist!

2002-03-15 Thread David A. Desrosiers
This is a weird one, and I coulda sworn this worked for me last week. I can no longer run 'cvs log file.c' in my local repository and see a list of the tags that file.c exists within. I was under the impression that 'cvs log' would display tags. What am I doing wrong here? As an aside,

They are merely sequential counters of revisions stored in the RCS files. If you need to remember any given point in the revision history of a file, or of all the files in a module, then you really must use tags and tags alone. I was under the impression that the revision numbers

foo.c in the top level is 1.46, but when moved and added, it gets version 1.1 (logically). How do I preserve the history of the changes made to this file to date, so I can do a 'cvs log' on it and get the full changes? You can't. The best you can do is mv foo.c src/foo.c cvs add

I'm in the process of making a release of a pretty popular GNU package, and need to restructure the directories in the package itself a bit. Basically the toplevel directory has accumulated some source files (*.c, *.cc) and there are some other changes, but my question is this.. As I

You must only sync it in the other direction -- i.e. update the read-only server _from_ the master! Great, then once again, you make absolutely no sense. If I have a copy of the master, which allows anonymous read-only access, and that copy also accepts authenticated commits

Duh. If you're doing authentication and authorisation on a unix-based file server then you MUST, _M_U_S_T_ use a unique system account for ever real-world user or else you might as well not use any authentication whatsoever. Pserver has NO accountability from the system's point of view.

I would suggest you and your users just learn to use SSH and forget about trying to implement any security software yourself. If you already have real unix user-ids for every real user then you're most of the way to making it work properly -- why not go all the way? I'm intrigued.

There's only _EXACTLY_ one case where cvspserver is in any way more secure than giving out real accounts, and that's when pserver is used to give read-only anonymous access to a _copy_ of a repository. And if the copy needs to get sync'd back to the real repository (a definate

Repository directory/file restructuring (delete/move)

I've been reading up on the various methods to move files and directories around in the repository, and I haven't yet found a workable solution to what I'm trying to achieve with one of my public projects. I have a repository which contains a structure similar to the following:
