I'm using CVSNT. I added a Microsoft 2007 docx file "as text" to the repository. After committing and before updating I tried to open the file again but was unable to. It said it was corrupt. I tried using the office word doc recovery and that was unable to recover the document. From what I understand I should've added the word doc a...
So we're gradually moving all our projects across into SVN, from CVS. One project in particular has two parallel development streams that share a lot of code, and they accomplish this with a neat trick on branch tags. Some files are branched normally as they diverge on the different streams: foo.c 1.18 --- HEAD, VERSION-1...
Is there a source control system (besides CVS) that can be configured to NOT store local copies of files? Or perhaps it just doesn't do it by design? Ideally, one could configure such option by extension or file size. For example, if I do sometimes want to store large movies or pictures in SVN, the end result is double the space usage o...
Today, for the first time in several months, I needed to use CVS on the command line on my Mac (MacOS X 10.4), and discovered that the commands no longer work. In response to: cvs diff -u I got: cvs diff: CVSROOT requires a path spec: cvs diff: :(gserver|kserver|pserver):[[user][:password]@]host[:[port]]/path cvs diff: [:(ext|server)...

I am wondering how to get the last changes in a CVS module easy. ...
On a couple of projects now, I've used the SVN keywords to retrieve some information about the version of some core files. Something like this (PHP): $revision = '$Revision: 1254 $'; // automatically updated each commit $revision = preg_replace("/[^0-9]/", ""); echo "This file is at revision #" . $revision; It occurred to me however,...

I run CVS on my Mac OS X box and access it from a Windows VM. It works great (although the version of CVS that comes with Mac OS X is really old). But I find it annoying that I cannot tell by looking at the project folders if I have checked out the project or not. Is there a way to tell the CVS command to delete a folder it checks in so...
What is a branch in CVS? ...
I am working with a c++ codebase using rcs repository (agh, old I know), during major code changes, I modify a lot of files, which I sometimes lose track of. So I would like to have a small script which will list the files that are different (those that I changed) from files in the repository. It is sort of unrealistic to do rcsdiff on...
I have a 20-year-old project that I would like to migrate from RCS to git, without losing the history. All web pages suggest that the One True Path is through CVS. But after an hour of Googling and trying different scripts, I have yet to find anything that successfully converts my RCS project tree to CVS. I'm hoping the good people at...
How can you get the CVS repo of MMIX to CVS/Git? I know how to clone a repo at github by git clone URL, but I have never really used sourceforge before. They use CVS which is new to me. My unsuccessful attempt git cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/mmixmasters I get the following tip at CVS -irc in try...
Hello, I am working on a script that will get the user name associated with a CVS line number change and am using cvs annotate filepath to do it. However, sometimes I run accost files that give blank output when annotate is run on them. Is there any solution to this problem? I should note that I am working within a code base that was ...
Hi, I often commit files with similar cvs comment but not in a single operation. I would like to able to bring up previous comments I've used in a previous commit when I am in the process of writing a comment in emacs. Meaning, from within the VC-log buffer. Is there a way to do this? Thanks ...
Basically I need to change the username located in the file CVS/Root to a new one to which I have access and each folder has a file like it. Is there a simple way to do this in such a way all folders get updated through CVS or other methods? Edit: this is in Windows btw. Im not very familiar with ms dos commands. ...
We still use CVS, I use git and hg for my personal use though I'm still a novice at both, but I realize they're much more modern and better, faster, distributed, etc. It's just everyone is so accustomed to CVS that I feel a whole slew of issues could arise if I were to be the one that recommended and actually did the upgrading/porting/t...
Hello, Do you know if there is a script or tool to create a changelog from our cvs, which can be integrated in a build-process on a windows-based build-server. I found this: http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/, but it is not possible to install Perl on our build-server so i can't use cvs2cl. I've tried the simple command "cvs log", but ther...
Hi, I have set the correct CVS Root, within this root I have a repository which contains a number of files. In particular, I am interested in the revisions of one of the files, lets call it test.tex. Now I would like to get ALL different versions of this file, from the repository. Is there somehow a command that I could use to do that? ...
