Hi folks,
It looks like cvs add -m drops the file description when working
in client/server mode.
Ir is important that I get this feature working again, but before
I start hacking away, I would like to ask a few questions of the
ones in the know:
1. Has this been fixed already?
2. Is there

Have you tried this?
cvs update -A readme.txt
cvs update -p -r 1.3 readme.txt readme.txt
make changes
cvs commit readme.txt
Any idea how one does this easily in WinCVS?
TIA,

Hello everybody,
We have a rather strange problem here at work with WinCVS -- it is crashing
on startup. The problem is present on only one machine, a WinNT 4.0 build
1381 with Service Pack 6a, WinCVS 1.1b14.
The strange thing is that WinCVS worked last night, but in the morning
(after a
Hi,
We've solved the problem by uninstalling and installing again. Simply
installing on top of the old one did not work. Any clues?
Thanks,
Dimi.

The last part of the lock file name is the PID of the process that
created the lock -- since there doesn't appear to be any current CVS
process with those PIDs, I'd say that you have a problem with CVS
crashing.
Hmm, I figured that would be the case,

1. What is the CVS dir used for on the server
Storing various extra per-directory information. Currently, the only
thing stored there is the fileattr file that records information about
watches and editors.

Hi people,
I am having no end of problem with the cvs server. I am running:
RedHat 6.2
cvs 1.10.8 with the patch for file handles
We get very often locks left around the repository. For example, today we've
got:
[root@redpill evolve-client]# find -name "*cvs*"
Quick questions:
Where can I find RedHat 6.2 RPMs for cvs 1.10.8? Right now I am using
cvs-1.10.7-7 and it gives me some grief.
TIA,
Dimi.

If you wanted to go all out you could write, say gzfs, as an extension to
the Linux kernel that stored all files on the mounted partition
compressed. That should make it transparent to just about everybody who
doesn't notice the extra CPU cycles.
Hi,
Very often I run in this problem: I edit some files to add debugging stuff,
and after a while I want to updated from CVS and to simply _overwrite_ the
changes I made.
I know, I can delete the files and then update. But, this is difficult
'cause sometimes I don't know what I've modified (and

cvs-1.10.8 has "cvs up -C" that'll give you a clean copy of the file.
Anyone working to update WinCVS to 1.10.8? I'm OK with the command line,
it's just that my coworkers are not...
Otherwise, you can do something like:

This is wrong! You should use some magic constants that the compiler
replaces with the real file name and line number. In C, this would go

Hi Alex,
I have a small proposal to improve WinCVS. I realize WinCVS can keep
oen ratehr busy, so I will not bother you too much, in the sense that I
will code it myself. However, I will ask of you if you can read through
this proposal to let me know if it is acceptable to you.

How can I specify flags for the diffs? Personally, I like my unified diffs
(cvs -q diff -u), but I don't know how to say that in WinCVS?
TIA,
Dimi.
Hi ppl,
1. is WinCVS using the CVSROOT/cvsignore file or do I have to have a
.cvsignore file in each dir?
2. How can I make WinCVS hide the files specified by cvsignore? (rather than
show them with a different icon)
TIA,
Dimi.

Hello everybody,
I am using WinCVS 1.1b12, with cvs-1.10.7 server on linux.
How can one select several files (using WinCVS) in different directories
such that I can commit them at once. This is very important for me, because
it is quite often the case that a functional change spreads over
