Re: Ignore local changes?

Yes there is: Do not ever modify the CVS controlled file! Always, and only ever, modify a copy of any file if you don't want CVS to see your changes to it! I.e. this is a build system problem, not a CVS problem. No, it's not a CVS problem. However, CVS could make life easier with this as an

Ignore local changes?

2003-04-01 Thread Wade Williams
I've got a file which I must make changes to on my system. However, I don't ever want my changes put back into the repository. Currently, I handle this by removing the file and re-updating the file from the repository before doing a commit. But is there a way I can tell CVS - always update

Apologies if this has been done before, but I can't find it anywhere. I want to process some binary files on a mac running OSX, using the command line CVS that comes with BSD, instead of using the GUI version. specifying a -kb on the command line treats the files as binary, but I'm not

Re: renaming a file on the main trunk, development on a branch goes a head on the old filename, merging the changes

2002-02-08 Thread Wade Williams
I'm no CVS expert, but in my thinking, the easiest thing to do would be to merge the branch into the trunk at the last point before the files where renamed. Then rename the files and split off a new branch. If you've already renamed the files on the trunk, I'd still do the same thing: 1)
