Hi An really embarrassing question: I have specified my CVS root, and within this CVS root I have a repository, let call it REP. Within REP, I have a file TEST.TXT where I wanna see all revisions of it. Unfortunately, I cant get this work, i tried the following: cvs history TEST.TXT cvs history /REP/TEST.TXT cvs history REP/TEST.TXT ...
Hi, all. I'm not new to the Branch/Merge idea, but I'm new to CVS. I have a sample file that I have brached off of the main trunk, and have made non-conflicting edits to both the branch and the main. When I go to Merge, however, the process leaves me with all of my changes in a file representing the latest revision of the Main trunk. ...
Is there a way to prevent users from doing 'cvs init'? 'cvs init' creates a new repository. The doc says it is a safe operation on an existing repository, since it does not overwrite any files. But the problem is, administrative files in CVSROOT will be changed. For example, we have a CVSROOT/loginfo script that mails commit info to a ...
I'm using Netbeans to develop with Drupal. I'm trying to let Netbeans get drupal core and modules from the repository on drupal.org to my local working copy. Problem is: I already have a working copy that is not versioned yet. When I try to checkout a copy from drupal.org, Netbeans asks if I want to create a new project - I don't. Ho...
Please, I want to test CVS and Maven tools within an existing project so: is there any open source project that I can check out from its "CVS" and build it with "Maven"? thanx in advance ...
I created a cvs repository in my school network account, I would love to have the access to it using my local machines at home. I tried, at local, setting CVSROOT variable to be "myUserID@schoolServer:/u/myUserId/cs/csvroot", but it complains, about the $CVSROOT value, when I tried to use it. I also tried "cvs -d " option, but still not ...
Hi, how to export a CVS repository from one machine to another? Would it work if i transfer the whole CVSROOT then make it the CVSROOT of the new machine? if so, would it also include all the revision history? or there are additional directories need to be exported... Thanks in advance ...
I'm a novice to Eclipse CDT and its UI for CVS. In command-line CVS, "cvs release" undoes the effect of "cvs checkout". http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.23/cvs_16.html#SEC156 How do I "release" a checkout in Eclipse CDT? Thanks! EDIT: I guess you could do it like this: 1. Eclipse: Delete project 2. In shell, run % cvs rele...
I just started using CVS to manage my source files. After finishing my school assignment, I found out that I had used the wrong project name in my cvsroot. Since the submit system is looking for a specific project name in the directory, it denies my submission although my source files are all in that directory. Is there a way to change t...
I'm trying to import a cvs module into an existing git repo. I can get it to work properly if I import into a fresh repo, but when I try to import into the existing repo it seems determined to skip all the patchsets that are dated before the last commit to the branch that I've specified with -o. This is what I'm currently trying: git cv...
I inherited a project originally stored in CVS with all the revisions. I made quite a few edits, and I'm trying to compare all the changes I made in the original directory, in regards to new files added versus the old ones. Is there some sort of utility for hg/git where I can do a tree diff, or something of that nature? So that say, the...
Is there a way to use a VCS (I'm using git) and have it work with merges to the Xcode files? For example, if my co-worker adds a new Group to the project, when I merge in his changes, I get the Group merged in? Or if he adds an attr to a Core Data entity, I get that attr in my Core Data model? ...
I have a large project that has many changes not yet checked in. I want to check them in but have them only take effect when a certain symbol is #define'd CVS does have the ability to format diffs with #ifdef's inserted using the --ifdef argument. However, this does not merge the #ifdef's back into my working file. Even worse, the ou...
I've posted a question regarding cvs2svn crashes (link text). I was suggested to update to cvs2svn v2.3.0 and so I did and it worked. now suddenly cvs2svn crashes again before the end, what can be the problem again? I'm using dump file. ...
Hello, I just set up CVS on my local machine. But now I need to clean it up and bring it up to a point of the raw CVS installation. I tried searching for "uninstall cvs on ubuntu" but did n't find any luck. Can anyone share his/her views on how to proceed this? ...
I ran an "Update" command on a folder with TortoiseCVS and one of the file statuses is "P". What does that mean? I see "U" which I'm assuming means "Update" and "M" which I'm assuming means "Merge". I tried to open the help file but I'm just getting 404s, so I think the firewall at my office is blocking the help contents... Here's a scr...
I'm resurrecting a rather old code project, from when I was using CVS regularly, as a component in a new project that I've already been working on using git. I still have access to the CVS archive the old project's module is in, so I was just going to use git-cvsimport to get the commit history and go from there. However, this is just cr...
I have a CVS repository in which I have a set of Eclipse Java projects where I need to roll HEAD back to the state it was at a specific time yesterday essentially abandoning all commits happened since said time. I've tried different things, including using "Replace with another branch or version" which gives the proper sources, but wher...
Hello, My problem is that i often forgot what i have changed in my software, when i do a cvs-check in. So i have to lookup my code for changes. If this could be automated, it would be great. So can anyone tell me if there is a tool or something which can lookup my code (i'm using c#) for specific comments, that i add if i change someth...
I inadvertently added some dynamically build directories and files to CVS in my Eclipse project. Now after deleting these files, committing changes and running the build files are shown as new (question mark) but directories are shown as committed. Now I know the hard way to deal with this situation that requires me to manually delete un...
