Is there a way to find the list of files added freshly/newly to a cvs repository

Question

is there a way to find the list of files added freshly/newly to a cvs repository

FYI : CVS history command doesn't work on my system due to corruption

Answer 1

What about "CVS History" command ?

Answer 2

If your repository is corrupted such that cvs history does not work, I doubt you'll be able to find a command that will reliably work.

Answer 3

you could set up commitlogs... If you have access to $CVSROOT you can modify loginfo to have it write to a file when a commit has occurred

$CVSROOT/loginfo:

#DEFAULT (echo ""; id; echo %s; date; cat) >> $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog 
# or 
#DEFAULT (echo ""; id; echo %{sVv}; date; cat) >> $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog

This writes the log messages of ALL modules in the repository to the file 'commitlog'

Answer 4

you could set up watches and get emailed when a file in the repository is modified... If you have access to $CVSROOT you can modify notify to have it send email when a file is checked in

$CVSROOT/notify:

ALL /bin/mail -s "CVS notification" %s

or

ALL mail %s -s \"CVS notification\"

do cvs watch on checkout each module and do a cvs watch add -a commit
