File: cvs.info, Node: import options, Next: import output, Up: import import options -------------- This standard option is supported by `import' (*note Common options::., for a complete description): `-m MESSAGE' Use MESSAGE as log information, instead of invoking an editor. There are the following additional special options. `-b BRANCH' See *Note Multiple vendor branches::. `-k SUBST' Indicate the keyword expansion mode desired. This setting will apply to all files created during the import, but not to any files that previously existed in the repository. See *Note Substitution modes::, for a list of valid `-k' settings. `-I NAME' Specify file names that should be ignored during import. You can use this option repeatedly. To avoid ignoring any files at all (even those ignored by default), specify `-I !'. NAME can be a file name pattern of the same type that you can specify in the `.cvsignore' file. *Note cvsignore::. `-W SPEC' Specify file names that should be filtered during import. You can use this option repeatedly. SPEC can be a file name pattern of the same type that you can specify in the `.cvswrappers' file. *Note Wrappers::. File: cvs.info, Node: import output, Next: import examples, Prev: import options, Up: import import output ------------- `import' keeps you informed of its progress by printing a line for each file, preceded by one character indicating the status of the file: `U FILE' The file already exists in the repository and has not been locally modified; a new revision has been created (if necessary). `N FILE' The file is a new file which has been added to the repository. `C FILE' The file already exists in the repository but has been locally modified; you will have to merge the changes. `I FILE' The file is being ignored (*note cvsignore::.). `L FILE' The file is a symbolic link; `cvs import' ignores symbolic links. People periodically suggest that this behavior should be changed, but if there is a consensus on what it should be changed to, it doesn't seem to be apparent. (Various options in the `modules' file can be used to recreate symbolic links on checkout, update, etc.; *note modules::..) File: cvs.info, Node: import examples, Prev: import output, Up: import import examples --------------- See *Note Tracking sources::, and *Note From files::. File: cvs.info, Node: log, Next: rdiff, Prev: import, Up: CVS commands log--Print out log information for files ======================================== * Synopsis: log [options] [files...] * Requires: repository, working directory. * Changes: nothing. Display log information for files. `log' used to call the RCS utility `rlog'. Although this is no longer true in the current sources, this history determines the format of the output and the options, which are not quite in the style of the other CVS commands. The output includes the location of the RCS file, the "head" revision (the latest revision on the trunk), all symbolic names (tags) and some other things. For each revision, the revision number, the author, the number of lines added/deleted and the log message are printed. All times are displayed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). (Other parts of CVS print times in the local timezone). *Warning:* `log' uses `-R' in a way that conflicts with the normal use inside CVS (*note Common options::.). * Menu: * log options:: log options * log examples:: log examples File: cvs.info, Node: log options, Next: log examples, Up: log log options ----------- By default, `log' prints all information that is available. All other options restrict the output. Print information about the revisions on the default branch, normally the highest branch on the trunk. `-d DATES' Print information about revisions with a checkin date/time in the range given by the semicolon-separated list of dates. The date formats accepted are those accepted by the `-D' option to many other CVS commands (*note Common options::.). Dates can be combined into ranges as follows: `D1D1' Select the revisions that were deposited between D1 and D2. `' Select all revisions dated D or earlier. `D<' `>D' Select all revisions dated D or later. `D' Select the single, latest revision dated D or earlier. The `>' or `<' characters may be followed by `=' to indicate an inclusive range rather than an exclusive one. Note that the separator is a semicolon (;). Print only the name of the RCS file, name of the file in the working directory, head, default branch, access list, locks, symbolic names, and suffix. Local; run only in current working directory. (Default is to run recursively). Do not print the list of tags for this file. This option can be very useful when your site uses a lot of tags, so rather than "more"'ing over 3 pages of tag information, the log information is presented without tags at all. Print only the name of the RCS file. `-rREVISIONS' Print information about revisions given in the comma-separated list REVISIONS of revisions and ranges. The following table explains the available range formats: `REV1:REV2' Revisions REV1 to REV2 (which must be on the same branch). `:REV' Revisions from the beginning of the branch up to and including REV. `REV:' Revisions starting with REV to the end of the branch containing REV. `BRANCH' An argument that is a branch means all revisions on that branch. `BRANCH1:BRANCH2' A range of branches means all revisions on the branches in that range. `BRANCH.' The latest revision in BRANCH. A bare `-r' with no revisions means the latest revision on the default branch, normally the trunk. There can be no space between the `-r' option and its argument. `-s STATES' Print information about revisions whose state attributes match one of the states given in the comma-separated list STATES. Print the same as `-h', plus the descriptive text. `-wLOGINS' Print information about revisions checked in by users with login names appearing in the comma-separated list LOGINS. If LOGINS is omitted, the user's login is assumed. There can be no space between the `-w' option and its argument. `log' prints the intersection of the revisions selected with the options `-d', `-s', and `-w', intersected with the union of the revisions selected by `-b' and `-r'. File: cvs.info, Node: log examples, Prev: log options, Up: log log examples ------------ Contributed examples are gratefully accepted. File: cvs.info, Node: rdiff, Next: release, Prev: log, Up: CVS commands rdiff--'patch' format diffs between releases ============================================ * rdiff [-flags] [-V vn] [-r t|-D d [-r t2|-D d2]] modules... * Requires: repository. * Changes: nothing. * Synonym: patch Builds a Larry Wall format patch(1) file between two releases, that can be fed directly into the `patch' program to bring an old release up-to-date with the new release. (This is one of the few CVS commands that operates directly from the repository, and doesn't require a prior checkout.) The diff output is sent to the standard output device. You can specify (using the standard `-r' and `-D' options) any combination of one or two revisions or dates. If only one revision or date is specified, the patch file reflects differences between that revision or date and the current head revisions in the RCS file. Note that if the software release affected is contained in more than one directory, then it may be necessary to specify the `-p' option to the `patch' command when patching the old sources, so that `patch' is able to find the files that are located in other directories. * Menu: * rdiff options:: rdiff options * rdiff examples:: rdiff examples File: cvs.info, Node: rdiff options, Next: rdiff examples, Up: rdiff rdiff options ------------- These standard options are supported by `rdiff' (*note Common options::., for a complete description of them): `-D DATE' Use the most recent revision no later than DATE. If no matching revision is found, retrieve the most recent revision (instead of ignoring the file). Local; don't descend subdirectories. Examine directories recursively. This option is on by default. `-r TAG' Use revision TAG. In addition to the above, these options are available: Use the context diff format. This is the default format. Create a summary change report instead of a patch. The summary includes information about files that were changed or added between the releases. It is sent to the standard output device. This is useful for finding out, for example, which files have changed between two dates or revisions. A diff of the top two revisions is sent to the standard output device. This is most useful for seeing what the last change to a file was. Use the unidiff format for the context diffs. This option is not available if your `diff' does not support the unidiff format. Remember that old versions of the `patch' program can't handle the unidiff format, so if you plan to post this patch to the net you should probably not use `-u'. `-V VN' Expand keywords according to the rules current in RCS version VN (the expansion format changed with RCS version 5). Note that this option is no longer accepted. CVS will always expand keywords the way that RCS version 5 does. File: cvs.info, Node: rdiff examples, Prev: rdiff options, Up: rdiff rdiff examples -------------- Suppose you receive mail from foo@bar.com asking for an update from release 1.2 to 1.4 of the tc compiler. You have no such patches on hand, but with CVS that can easily be fixed with a command such as this: $ cvs rdiff -c -r FOO1_2 -r FOO1_4 tc | \ $$ Mail -s 'The patches you asked for' foo@bar.com Suppose you have made release 1.3, and forked a branch called `R_1_3fix' for bugfixes. `R_1_3_1' corresponds to release 1.3.1, which was made some time ago. Now, you want to see how much development has been done on the branch. This command can be used: $ cvs patch -s -r R_1_3_1 -r R_1_3fix module-name cvs rdiff: Diffing module-name File ChangeLog,v changed from revision 1.52.2.5 to 1.52.2.6 File foo.c,v changed from revision 1.52.2.3 to 1.52.2.4 File bar.h,v changed from revision 1.29.2.1 to 1.2 File: cvs.info, Node: release, Next: rtag, Prev: rdiff, Up: CVS commands release--Indicate that a Module is no longer in use =================================================== * release [-d] directories... * Requires: Working directory. * Changes: Working directory, history log. This command is meant to safely cancel the effect of `cvs checkout'. Since CVS doesn't lock files, it isn't strictly necessary to use this command. You can always simply delete your working directory, if you like; but you risk losing changes you may have forgotten, and you leave no trace in the CVS history file (*note history file::.) that you've abandoned your checkout. Use `cvs release' to avoid these problems. This command checks that no uncommitted changes are present; that you are executing it from immediately above a CVS working directory; and that the repository recorded for your files is the same as the repository defined in the module database. If all these conditions are true, `cvs release' leaves a record of its execution (attesting to your intentionally abandoning your checkout) in the CVS history log. * Menu: * release options:: release options * release output:: release output * release examples:: release examples File: cvs.info, Node: release options, Next: release output, Up: release release options --------------- The `release' command supports one command option: Delete your working copy of the file if the release succeeds. If this flag is not given your files will remain in your working directory. *Warning:* The `release' command deletes all directories and files recursively. This has the very serious side-effect that any directory that you have created inside your checked-out sources, and not added to the repository (using the `add' command; *note Adding files::.) will be silently deleted--even if it is non-empty! File: cvs.info, Node: release output, Next: release examples, Prev: release options, Up: release release output -------------- Before `release' releases your sources it will print a one-line message for any file that is not up-to-date. *Warning:* Any new directories that you have created, but not added to the CVS directory hierarchy with the `add' command (*note Adding files::.) will be silently ignored (and deleted, if `-d' is specified), even if they contain files. `U FILE' `P FILE' There exists a newer revision of this file in the repository, and you have not modified your local copy of the file (`U' and `P' mean the same thing). `A FILE' The file has been added to your private copy of the sources, but has not yet been committed to the repository. If you delete your copy of the sources this file will be lost. `R FILE' The file has been removed from your private copy of the sources, but has not yet been removed from the repository, since you have not yet committed the removal. *Note commit::. `M FILE' The file is modified in your working directory. There might also be a newer revision inside the repository. `? FILE' FILE is in your working directory, but does not correspond to anything in the source repository, and is not in the list of files for CVS to ignore (see the description of the `-I' option, and *note cvsignore::.). If you remove your working sources, this file will be lost. File: cvs.info, Node: release examples, Prev: release output, Up: release release examples ---------------- Release the module, and delete your local working copy of the files. $ cd .. # You must stand immediately above the # sources when you issue `cvs release'. $ cvs release -d tc You have [0] altered files in this repository. Are you sure you want to release (and delete) module `tc': y $ File: cvs.info, Node: rtag, Next: tag, Prev: release, Up: CVS commands rtag--Add a symbolic tag to a module ==================================== * rtag [-falnR] [-b] [-d] [-r tag | -Ddate] symbolic_tag modules... * Requires: repository. * Changes: repository. * Synonym: rfreeze You can use this command to assign symbolic tags to particular, explicitly specified source revisions in the repository. `rtag' works directly on the repository contents (and requires no prior checkout). Use `tag' instead (*note tag::.), to base the selection of revisions on the contents of your working directory. If you attempt to use a tag name that already exists, CVS will complain and not overwrite that tag. Use the `-F' option to force the new tag value. * Menu: * rtag options:: rtag options File: cvs.info, Node: rtag options, Up: rtag rtag options ------------ These standard options are supported by `rtag' (*note Common options::., for a complete description of them): `-D DATE' Tag the most recent revision no later than DATE. Only useful with the `-D DATE' or `-r TAG' flags. If no matching revision is found, use the most recent revision (instead of ignoring the file). Overwrite an existing tag of the same name on a different revision. Local; run only in current working directory. Do not run any tag program that was specified with the `-t' flag inside the `modules' file. (*note modules::.). Tag directories recursively. This is on by default. `-r TAG' Only tag those files that contain TAG. This can be used to rename a tag: tag only the files identified by the old tag, then delete the old tag, leaving the new tag on exactly the same files as the old tag. In addition to the above common options, these options are available: Use the `-a' option to have `rtag' look in the `Attic' (*note Attic::.) for removed files that contain the specified tag. The tag is removed from these files, which makes it convenient to re-use a symbolic tag as development continues (and files get removed from the up-coming distribution). Make the tag a branch tag. *Note Branching and merging::. Delete the tag instead of creating it. In general, tags (often the symbolic names of software distributions) should not be removed, but the `-d' option is available as a means to remove completely obsolete symbolic names if necessary (as might be the case for an Alpha release, or if you mistagged a module). File: cvs.info, Node: tag, Next: update, Prev: rtag, Up: CVS commands tag--Add a symbolic tag to checked out versions of files ======================================================== * tag [-lR] [-b] [-c] [-d] symbolic_tag [files...] * Requires: working directory, repository. * Changes: repository. * Synonym: freeze Use this command to assign symbolic tags to the nearest repository versions to your working sources. The tags are applied immediately to the repository, as with `rtag', but the versions are supplied implicitly by the CVS records of your working files' history rather than applied explicitly. One use for tags is to record a snapshot of the current sources when the software freeze date of a project arrives. As bugs are fixed after the freeze date, only those changed sources that are to be part of the release need be re-tagged. The symbolic tags are meant to permanently record which revisions of which files were used in creating a software distribution. The `checkout' and `update' commands allow you to extract an exact copy of a tagged release at any time in the future, regardless of whether files have been changed, added, or removed since the release was tagged. This command can also be used to delete a symbolic tag, or to create a branch. See the options section below. If you attempt to use a tag name that already exists, CVS will complain and not overwrite that tag. Use the `-F' option to force the new tag value. * Menu: * tag options:: tag options File: cvs.info, Node: tag options, Up: tag tag options ----------- These standard options are supported by `tag' (*note Common options::., for a complete description of them): Overwrite an existing tag of the same name on a different revision. Local; run only in current working directory. Tag directories recursively. This is on by default. Two special options are available: Make the tag a branch tag (*note Branching and merging::.), allowing concurrent, isolated development. This is most useful for creating a patch to a previously released software distribution. Check that all files which are to be tagged are unmodified. This can be used to make sure that you can reconstruct the current file contents. Delete a tag. If you use `cvs tag -d symbolic_tag', the symbolic tag you specify is deleted instead of being added. Warning: Be very certain of your ground before you delete a tag; doing this permanently discards some historical information, which may later turn out to be valuable. File: cvs.info, Node: update, Prev: tag, Up: CVS commands update--Bring work tree in sync with repository =============================================== * update [-AdflPpR] [-d] [-r tag|-D date] files... * Requires: repository, working directory. * Changes: working directory. After you've run checkout to create your private copy of source from the common repository, other developers will continue changing the central source. From time to time, when it is convenient in your development process, you can use the `update' command from within your working directory to reconcile your work with any revisions applied to the source repository since your last checkout or update. * Menu: * update options:: update options * update output:: update output File: cvs.info, Node: update options, Next: update output, Up: update update options -------------- These standard options are available with `update' (*note Common options::., for a complete description of them): `-D date' Use the most recent revision no later than DATE. This option is sticky, and implies `-P'. See *Note Sticky tags::, for more information on sticky tags/dates. Only useful with the `-D DATE' or `-r TAG' flags. If no matching revision is found, retrieve the most recent revision (instead of ignoring the file). `-k KFLAG' Process keywords according to KFLAG. See *Note Keyword substitution::. This option is sticky; future updates of this file in this working directory will use the same KFLAG. The `status' command can be viewed to see the sticky options. See *Note Invoking CVS::, for more information on the `status' command. Local; run only in current working directory. *Note Recursive behavior::. Prune empty directories. See *Note Moving directories::. Pipe files to the standard output. Update directories recursively (default). *Note Recursive behavior::. `-r rev' Retrieve revision/tag REV. This option is sticky, and implies `-P'. See *Note Sticky tags::, for more information on sticky tags/dates. These special options are also available with `update'. Reset any sticky tags, dates, or `-k' options. See *Note Sticky tags::, for more information on sticky tags/dates. Create any directories that exist in the repository if they're missing from the working directory. Normally, `update' acts only on directories and files that were already enrolled in your working directory. This is useful for updating directories that were created in the repository since the initial checkout; but it has an unfortunate side effect. If you deliberately avoided certain directories in the repository when you created your working directory (either through use of a module name or by listing explicitly the files and directories you wanted on the command line), then updating with `-d' will create those directories, which may not be what you want. `-I NAME' Ignore files whose names match NAME (in your working directory) during the update. You can specify `-I' more than once on the command line to specify several files to ignore. Use `-I !' to avoid ignoring any files at all. *Note cvsignore::, for other ways to make CVS ignore some files. `-WSPEC' Specify file names that should be filtered during update. You can use this option repeatedly. SPEC can be a file name pattern of the same type that you can specify in the `.cvswrappers' file. *Note Wrappers::. `-jREVISION' With two `-j' options, merge changes from the revision specified with the first `-j' option to the revision specified with the second `j' option, into the working directory. With one `-j' option, merge changes from the ancestor revision to the revision specified with the `-j' option, into the working directory. The ancestor revision is the common ancestor of the revision which the working directory is based on, and the revision specified in the `-j' option. In addition, each `-j' option can contain an optional date specification which, when used with branches, can limit the chosen revision to one within a specific date. An optional date is specified by adding a colon (:) to the tag: `-jSYMBOLIC_TAG:DATE_SPECIFIER'. *Note Branching and merging::. File: cvs.info, Node: update output, Prev: update options, Up: update update output ------------- `update' and `checkout' keep you informed of their progress by printing a line for each file, preceded by one character indicating the status of the file: `U FILE' The file was brought up to date with respect to the repository. This is done for any file that exists in the repository but not in your source, and for files that you haven't changed but are not the most recent versions available in the repository. `P FILE' Like `U', but the CVS server sends a patch instead of an entire file. These two things accomplish the same thing. `A FILE' The file has been added to your private copy of the sources, and will be added to the source repository when you run `commit' on the file. This is a reminder to you that the file needs to be committed. `R FILE' The file has been removed from your private copy of the sources, and will be removed from the source repository when you run `commit' on the file. This is a reminder to you that the file needs to be committed. `M FILE' The file is modified in your working directory. `M' can indicate one of two states for a file you're working on: either there were no modifications to the same file in the repository, so that your file remains as you last saw it; or there were modifications in the repository as well as in your copy, but they were merged successfully, without conflict, in your working directory. CVS will print some messages if it merges your work, and a backup copy of your working file (as it looked before you ran `update') will be made. The exact name of that file is printed while `update' runs. `C FILE' A conflict was detected while trying to merge your changes to FILE with changes from the source repository. FILE (the copy in your working directory) is now the result of attempting to merge the two revisions; an unmodified copy of your file is also in your working directory, with the name `.#FILE.REVISION' where REVISION is the revision that your modified file started from. Resolve the conflict as described in *Note Conflicts example::. (Note that some systems automatically purge files that begin with `.#' if they have not been accessed for a few days. If you intend to keep a copy of your original file, it is a very good idea to rename it.) Under VMS, the file name starts with `__' rather than `.#'. `? FILE' FILE is in your working directory, but does not correspond to anything in the source repository, and is not in the list of files for CVS to ignore (see the description of the `-I' option, and *note cvsignore::.).
