Re: finding files missing from my workspace

I'm wondering if it's possible to do a recursive diff operation to show differences for a whole directory at once. cvs diff will do this for you. Use the command line or WinCvs, since Tortoise does not provide this option for a directory (at least not in the version I use) However, I can't

You situation is rather uncommon, because the web interface of http://membled.com/cvsroot/ give you access to the CVS repository tree. Tools like Viewcvs Cvsweb give you access to individual revisions, but this view gives you access to the actual RCS files. On simple solution would be to use a

Write a commitinfo script. This is a serverside script that is run during the commit process before the actual commit is done. It allows you to deny the commit based on your rules. In the script , you can access the repository and check if rcs files with similar names (i.e. only differing in

We have a problem whereby some developers checkin files (via commandline on Unix/CVS host) that may have been edited on Windows PCs. That is the root of the problem. Developers working on PCs should use a PC cvs client to checkout their text files in a sandbox on a PC- and they will work in CRLF

Build them right where they are now. The sources you have now got locally, are _not_ the repository. They are your private copy -often called a sandbox by CVS users. Like a real sandbox, they are your spot for doing anything you like. You can change them, without any risk for the real Wine

You are probably working in a directory which was checked out by mark. CVS remembers the user who has checked out a sandbox in the CVS/Root file in the sandbox. - Original Message - From: Anthony Ettinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2004 20:40

You could have trouble if Windows and Linux have a different idea of file line endings - you'd probably need to use the Cygwin CVS client or another that won't insert carriage returns when checking out text files on Windows. Most windows clients have an option for Linux line endings - but

Hi all, We often checkout using a sticky tag, so that developers can work with baselines of code. Normally, checkins on files or directories with a sticky non-branch tag are disabled, which is correct. However, we have found out that sometimes commit on these sticky tags succeed, because
