1235 (cvs_TEXINFOS): specify $(srcdir) explicitly for CVSvn.texi
1236 (cvsclient_TEXINFOS): ditto
1237 * Makefile.in: regenerated
1239 2000-12-26 Derek Price <derek.price@openavenue.com>

1265 * Makefile.in: Regenerated
1266 * cvs-paper.ps: Regenerated
1267 * texinfo.tex: New file added to placate Automake. Apparently, its
1268 inclusion is mandated by the GNU coding standards.
1270 2000-12-14 Derek Price <derek.price@openavenue.com>
1271 Linus Tolke <linus@epact.se>
1273 * cvs.texinfo (Merging a branch): changed some references to "BRANCH"
1274 to "BRANCHNAME" for consistancy. Add a warning about merging using a
1275 single tagname reference with an xref to "Merging adds and removals"
1276 for the long explanation
1277 (Merging adds and removals): Add the long explanation of why merging
1278 from a single tagname can be tricky
1279 (update): Add a warning about merging using a single tagname reference
1280 with an xref to "Merging adds and removals" for the long explanation
1282 2000-11-13 Derek Price <derek.price@openavenue.com>
1284 * cvs.texinfo: use '@sc{cvs}' instead of 'CVS' in various locations
1286 2000-11-08 Derek Price <derek.price@openavenue.com>
1288 * cvs.texinfo (settitle): stick a 'v' in front of the version number
1289 to make it harder to confuse with chapter, section, and page numbers.
1291 2000-11-08 Derek Price <derek.price@openavenue.com>
1293 * cvs.texinfo (settitle): add the version number to the title string

1305 2000-10-17 Derek Price <derek.price@openavenue.com>
1307 * cvs.texinfo (Remote repositories, password authenticated, GSSAPI
1308 authenticated, Kerberos authenticated, Environment variables):
1309 Documented CVSROOT spec change & CVS_CLIENT_PORT.
1311 2000-10-10 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1313 * cvs.texinfo (Connection): Add additional notes about common
1314 pserver error messages. Remove information about unsetting $HOME
1315 since CVS no longer pays any attention to it in server mode.
1317 2000-09-07 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1319 * Makefile.in: Use @bindir@, @libdir@, @infodir@, and @mandir@
1322 2000-08-21 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1324 * cvs.texinfo (Removing directories, export): Note that export always
1325 prunes directories and remove references to the non-existent -P flag.
1327 2000-07-28 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1329 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Ensure that all rootless requests say
1330 that they're rootless.
1332 2000-07-12 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1334 * cvs.texinfo (Module program options): Remove note that commit and
1335 update programs only working locally; they've worked client/server

1358 2000-05-19 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1360 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Note that Global_option is now
1363 2000-04-17 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1365 * cvs.texinfo (Variables): Clarify what USER means in pserver.
1367 2000-03-08 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1369 * cvs.texinfo (Connection): Add note about inetd rate limit.

1376 2000-02-21 K.J. Paradise <kj@sourcegear.com>
1378 * cvs.texinfo : Adding John Cavanaugh's patch to allow
1379 the history file to log actions based on the CVSROOT/config
1380 file. (To limit which cvs actions actually make it into the
1383 2000-02-17 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1385 * cvs.texinfo: Remove references to PreservePermissions.
1387 * cvs.texinfo (history options): Note default report type.
1389 2000-01-18 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>

1396 <waratah@zip.com.au>.
1398 2000-01-11 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1400 * cvs.texinfo: Add index entries for "Compression" and "Gzip".
1401 Correct typography in many index entries (English phrases should
1402 have initial caps, subcommands/files/etc. should be as-is).
1404 2000-01-10 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1406 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): correctly describe CVSROOT/loginfo's
1407 %-expansion behavior. Thanks to Karl Heinz Marbaise
1408 <kama@hippo.fido.de> for noticing the error.
1410 2000-01-07 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1412 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Use -f in example
1414 (Connection): Add advice about using shell script or env to avoid
1415 problems with inetd setting HOME in the server's environment.
1416 (various): Use @file for inetd.conf.
1418 2000-01-02 John P Cavanaugh <cavanaug@sr.hp.com>
1420 * cvs.texinfo: document new -C option to update, now that it works
1421 both remotely and locally.
1422 (Re-applied by Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>.)
1424 1999-12-11 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1426 * Revert previous change -- it doesn't work remotely yet.
1428 1999-12-10 John P Cavanaugh <cavanaug@sr.hp.com>
1430 * cvs.texinfo: document new -C option to update.
1431 (Applied by Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>.)
1433 1999-11-20 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1435 * cvs.texinfo(history options): Document -f, -n, and -z.
1437 1999-11-09 Jim Kingdon <http://developer.redhat.com/>
1439 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Document the arguments to "log", now
1440 that I've changed log.c to be more specific in terms of what it
1443 1999-11-05 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1445 * cvs.texinfo: Revert Karl's change once again since the code is now
1446 fixed. Add "Variables" and "User variables" to index.
1448 1999-11-04 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1450 * log.c (log_usage): Revert Jim Kingdon's reversion of my change
1451 of 1999-11-03. Allowing a space between option and argument
1452 results in lossage; here is a reproduction recipe: run this from
1453 the top of a remote copy of the cvs source tree
1455 cvs log -d '>1999-03-01' > log-out.with-space
1457 and then run this (note there's no space after -d now):
1459 cvs log -d'>1999-03-01' > log-out.no-space
1461 The resulting files differ; furthermore, a glance at the output of
1462 cvs shows that the first command failed to recurse into
1463 subdirectories. Until this misbehavior can be fixed in the source
1464 code, the documentation should reflect the true state of affairs:
1465 if one simply omits the space, everything works fine.
1467 1999-11-04 Jim Kingdon <http://developer.redhat.com/>
1469 * cvs.texinfo (log options): Revert Karl's change regarding -d and
1470 -s. A space is allowed (see sanity.sh for example).
1472 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): The name of the
1473 file is "passwd" not "password".
1475 * cvsclient.texi (Top): Add @dircategory and @direntry.
1477 1999-11-04 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1479 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server, Password
1480 authentication client): Rewritten to accommodate the [new]
1481 possibility of empty passwords.
1483 1999-11-03 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1485 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): correct documentation for -d and -s
1486 options (as did elsewhere, earlier today).
1488 1999-11-03 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1490 * cvs.texinfo (Setting a watch): describe `watch off' behavior
1493 1999-11-03 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1495 * cvs.texinfo (log options): correct documentation for -d and -s
1496 options. There can be no space between these options and their
1499 Also, make sure all @sc{cvs} codes refer to "cvs" in lower case;
1500 this avoids makeinfo warnings. And use @code for the CVSEDITOR
1501 environment variable, not @sc.
1503 1999-09-24 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1505 * cvs.texinfo: Misc. formatting cleanups.
1507 1999-07-16 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1509 * cvs.texinfo (admin): Mention admin -k exception. Add cvsadmin
1512 1999-07-14 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1514 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Note inetd limits
1515 and suggest using shell script to avoid.
1517 1999-06-01 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1519 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): For the import command, the
1520 repository given to the Directory requests is ignored.
1522 1999-05-27 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1524 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify that Modified, Is-modified,
1525 Notify and Unchanged must specify a file within the current
1528 1999-05-24 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1530 * cvs.texinfo (checkoutlist): New node, contains more complete
1531 documentation of this feature.
1532 (CVSROOT storage): Refer to the new node when mentioning
1534 (Administrative files): Update the menu entry for Wrappers.
1536 1999-05-17 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1538 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): For Notify request, strike duplicate
1539 "Response expected: no" and fix "a edit" -> "an edit".
1541 1999-05-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1543 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Try to be more clear
1544 about the conflict field.
1546 1999-05-11 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1548 * cvs.texinfo (config): Use comma after @xref (thanks to Pavel
1549 Roskin for the report/fix).
1551 1999-05-10 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1553 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Document restrictions on characters
1556 1999-05-04 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1558 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication security): Remove sentence
1559 about how no one has audited pserver for holes; a lot of holes
1560 have been closed, looking for, &c, since that was written.
1561 In the summary, reword to reflect the fact that sniffing a
1562 readonly password does not imply general system access (as far as
1565 * cvs.texinfo (Connection): Also suggest inetd -d.
1567 1999-04-28 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1569 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Say what goes in the "watches" field
1570 of the "Notify" request.
1572 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): -r is for branches too.
1574 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "no such tag" message.
1575 (Common options): -f does not override val-tags check.
1577 1999-04-26 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1579 * cvs.texinfo (Locks): #cvs.rfl locks must start with "#cvs.rfl."
1580 not just "#cvs.rfl". As far as I know CVS has always implemented
1581 the former behavior, and this just fixes the documentation.
1583 1999-04-23 Yoshiki Hayashi of u-tokyo.ac.jp
1585 * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): Correct wrong file name (bugid.edit ->
1588 1999-04-22 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1590 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): The text in the "M" response is not
1591 designed for machine parsing. Likewise for "error" in regular
1592 protocol. Likewise for "E" and "error" in authentication protocol.
1594 1999-04-19 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1596 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "Cannot check out files into
1597 the repository itself".
1599 1999-04-16 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1601 * cvs.texinfo (Other problems): Add the Windows problem with home
1602 directory ending in a slash.
1604 1999-04-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1606 * cvs.texinfo (CVS in repository): Include the format of the
1607 fileattr file here, rather than referring to the CVS source code.
1609 1999-04-09 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1611 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Whether the timestamp
1612 in CVS/Entries is local or universal actually depends on the system.
1614 1999-04-05 Derek Price
1615 <http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/resume.html>
1617 * cvs.texinfo (export options): Remove notation that the -r
1618 tag is sticky. 'cvs export' doesn't store that data.
1620 1999-04-08 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1622 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "EOF in RCS file" and
1623 "unexpected EOF" (in RCS file) messages.
1625 1999-03-25 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1627 * cvs.texinfo (admin options): Say there can be no space between
1628 -e and its argument (since the previous sentence said the argument
1629 can be omitted, this is the only possibility).
1631 1999-02-26 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1633 * cvs.texinfo (Merging and keywords): When including conflict
1634 markers, put @asis{} at the start of the line, in case this file
1635 itself is in CVS. Thanks to Derek Price for pointing this out.
1637 1999-02-25 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1639 * cvs.texinfo: Refer to "keywords" not "RCS keywords". We had
1640 only used the latter term in a few places, and it seems like a
1641 somewhat odd term in that this style of keyword is by no means
1643 (Merging a branch): Remove spurious ")". Use ref, not xref, after
1645 (Merging a branch, Substitution modes): Make sure that @ref is
1646 followed by comma, since info wants that.
1647 (Merging and keywords): Use samp not code for "-kk". Something of
1648 a judgement call, but the rest of the manual uses samp and that
1650 (Merging and keywords): Rewrite, to (a) better motivate the
1651 discussion based on what the user wants to do, (b) fix up lots of
1652 convoluted sentences, (c) move the discussion of the binary files
1653 to the end, that is get across the basic idea first and then
1654 embellish it. Remove a few unnecessary index entries. Expand
1655 example. Just tell people to avoid -kk with binary files (comment
1656 out the discussion of using -A after the commit).
1658 1999-01-29 Derek Price
1659 <http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/resume.html>
1661 * cvs.texinfo: Added new node/section on merging and keywords. It
1662 contains advice on how to avoid RCS keyword conflicts when merging
1663 and avoid corrupting your binary files while doing it.
1665 1999-02-24 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1667 * cvsclient.texi (Request intro): Add paragraph about transmitting
1668 more than one command.
1670 1999-01-29 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1672 * cvs.texinfo: Use EXAMPLE.COM EXAMPLE.ORG and EXAMPLE.NET instead
1673 of domains which might conflict with actual (current or future)
1674 domains. The EXAMPLE domains are registered for this purpose.
1676 1999-01-22 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1678 * cvs.texinfo (Sticky tags): Refer to -j as the better way to undo
1680 (Merging two revisions): Also talk about undoing removals and
1681 adds. Move the index entries to here.
1683 1999-01-21 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1685 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "waiting for USER's lock".
1687 1999-01-16 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1689 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Comment out all the -t/-f documentation,
1690 since that feature is currently disabled.
1692 1999-01-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1694 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Add some more index entries so
1695 that people who want to use SSH and such are slightly less lost.
1697 1999-01-12 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1699 * cvs-paper.ms: Remove comments which contained the FSF's old
1700 address; it has changed.
1702 1998-12-29 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1704 * cvsclient.texi (Dates): Numeric timezones are preferred.
1705 Also mention the Checkin-time request.
1707 1998-12-23 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1709 * RCSFILES: Add clarification about certain character set issues
1710 from Paul Eggert, the RCS maintainer. The last paragraph and the
1711 change from Shift-JIS to JIS as an example of a character set
1712 which contains 0x40 bytes which are not '@' characters are mine;
1713 the rest is directly from Paul Eggert.
1715 1998-12-22 Martin Buchholz <martin@xemacs.org>
1717 * cvs.texinfo: Fixed various trivial typos.
1719 1998-12-17 Jim Kingdon
1721 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Explicitly say that Mod-time need
1722 not be sent for all files.
1724 1998-12-16 Jim Kingdon
1726 Thanks to Ram Rajadhyaksha of the MacCVS Pro team for raising the
1728 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): The deal about storing
1729 files as text files applies to all the CVS/* files, not just
1730 CVS/Entries. State the rationale too.
1731 Document CVSROOT/Emptydir in CVS/Repository.
1732 There is no set order in CVS/Entries.
1733 Explicitly say that writing Entries.Log is optional.
1735 1998-12-03 Jim Kingdon
1737 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "unrecognized auth response".
1738 (Password authentication server): Remove comment about
1739 "unrecognized auth response" and link to the troubleshooting
1742 1998-12-02 Jim Kingdon
1744 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): Add an example.
1746 1998-11-18 Jim Kingdon
1748 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Change "-r tag" to "-r rev". We
1749 already use "tag" as the name of the tag we are adding.
1751 1998-11-13 Jim Kingdon
1753 * cvs.texinfo (CVS commands): Add comment about whether part of
1754 the manual should be organized by command.
1756 1998-11-06 Jim Kingdon
1758 Clean up various confusions between modules and directories:
1759 * cvs.texinfo: In "are you sure you want to release" message,
1760 change module to directory. CVS was changed some time ago.
1761 (Tags): "working copy of the module" -> "working directory".
1762 (Merging two revisions): Remove unnecessary text "that make up a
1764 (Recursive behavior): Change "module" to "directory".
1765 (Removing files): Likewise.
1766 (Tracking sources): Remove "a module" from titles.
1767 (Moving directories): Change "module" to "parent-dir".
1768 (Inside): Remove "of the module".
1769 (Inside): Change "module" to "dir".
1770 (Rename by copying): Change "module" to "dir".
1771 (Rename by copying): Remove "of the module".
1772 (Moving directories): "copy of the module" -> "checked out copy of
1773 the directory"; remove second "of the module". Change "check out
1774 the module" to " check out again".
1775 (Moving directories): Remove "of the module".
1776 (Keyword substitution): "your working copy of a module" -> "a
1778 (CVS commands): Change "module" to "directory".
1779 (release examples): "module" -> "tc directory".
1780 (commitinfo): "relative path to the module" -> "directory in the
1782 (verifymsg): Change "module" to "directory".
1783 (Updating a file): "working copy of a module" -> "working directory".
1785 1998-10-25 Jim Kingdon
1787 * cvs.texinfo (Branches and revisions): Fix error in branch
1788 numbering which was introduced with change of 4 May 1997.
1790 1998-10-20 Jim Kingdon
1792 * cvs.texinfo (Tags): Point to Invoking CVS node so people aren't
1793 left wondering what the syntax is. When introducing -r option,
1794 warn people about sticky tags right off.
1795 (Tagging the working directory, Tagging by date/tag, Modifying
1796 tags, Tagging add/remove): New sections.
1797 (Invoking CVS): Adjust tag and rtag to point to the new sections,
1798 and to add tag -c which had been omitted. Delete tag -n; there is
1800 (rtag, tag): Removed; no longer needed.
1801 (commit examples): Update xref.
1803 1998-10-15 Jim Kingdon
1805 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): It is OK to send Set before Root.
1807 1998-10-13 Jim Kingdon
1809 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Remove item about "cvs update"
1810 sending modified files to the server; there are some better ideas
1811 at http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/dev-update.txt
1812 Add mention of www.cyclic.com.
1814 1998-09-30 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1816 * cvs.texinfo (Committing your changes, Environment variables):
1819 1998-09-27 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1821 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Say explicitly
1822 that you edit passwd directly, many users get confused by this.
1824 1998-09-24 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1826 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via fork): :fork: may be of interest to
1827 users, for example those who prefer CVS to prompt for one log
1828 message per checkin, rather than one per directory.
1829 (Connecting via fork): Document CVS_SERVER.
1831 1998-09-24 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1833 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via fork): new node about the fork
1836 1998-09-22 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1838 * cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Document
1839 CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT in the CVS 1.10 context.
1840 (Moving a repository): Update comments concerning surgery on
1841 CVS/Root and CVS/Repository files.
1843 1998-09-21 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1845 * cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): remove information about
1846 CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT, since it's no longer used.
1848 1998-09-21 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1850 * cvs.texinfo (config): Mention that CVS 1.10 doesn't have
1853 1998-09-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1855 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Describe $Name and checking out with
1858 1998-09-16 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1860 * cvs.texinfo: RFC2346 is out; update comment.
1862 1998-09-13 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1864 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword list, Substitution modes): In describing
1865 $Locker and -kkvl, refer to cvs admin -l.
1867 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Re-word description of Sticky to
1868 allow room for "Ntagname" (or other, future, values).
1870 * cvs.texinfo (tag): Remove confusing wording about supplying
1871 revision numbers "implicitly".
1873 1998-09-10 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1875 * cvs.texinfo (rdiff options): Thanks to the diff library, -u is
1876 supported regardless of your diff program.
1878 1998-09-07 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1880 * cvs.texinfo (config): Add LockDir.
1882 1998-09-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1884 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): "Directory" and "Argument" are
1885 requests, not commands. Likewise for "other-request". A command,
1886 roughly, is a request that uses "Argument"s, but we might want to
1887 phase out the use of that term more so than codify it, I'm not sure.
1889 1998-09-01 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1891 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): added a detailed explanation of the
1892 Directory request and how it is handled, both for pre-1.10 and
1895 1998-09-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1897 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): Also describe the CVS 1.10
1898 behavior. Looking at a mismatched version of the manual seems to
1899 be a reasonably common occurrence.
1901 * cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Revert change regarding
1902 CVS_SERVER_SLEEP*; having that kind of debugging code in the main
1903 CVS is getting out of hand.
1905 1998-09-01 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1907 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): brief mention that cvs now
1908 handles a working directory composed of multiple repositories.
1909 (Environment variables): add note about CVS_SERVER_SLEEP2.
1911 1998-08-21 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
1913 * cvsclient.texi (Text tags): Document importmergecmd tag.
1915 1998-08-20 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1917 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Replace out of date URL concerning
1918 ISO8601 dates with a more general statement and a few comments.
1920 1998-08-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1922 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add "Checkin-time" request.
1924 Sun Jul 26 02:42:20 1998 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1926 * cvs.texinfo (config): TopLevelAdmin variable.
1928 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): fix typo.
1930 1998-07-14 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1932 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): "remove" is like "add" in the sense
1933 that it is the "ci" request which does most of the work.
1935 1998-06-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1937 * cvs.texinfo (Excluding directories): Fix order of
1938 "!first-dir/sdir" and "first-dir" to match what CVS actually
1939 accepts. Reported by Tim McIntosh of sterling.com.
1941 1998-06-09 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1943 * cvs.texinfo (Using keywords): Rewrite to be less specific to
1944 source code in C. The old text was worse than that; it was
1945 specific to certain versions of GCC (not even current GCC's, I
1946 don't think) (reported most recently by Mitchell Perilstein;
1947 if memory serves by others before that).
1949 1998-06-08 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1951 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): Also mention #cvs.lock. Don't
1952 mention #cvs.tfl; it is quite old (before CVS 1.5).
1953 (Locks, Backing up, Concurrency): Add more index entries.
1955 1998-06-03 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
1957 * cvs.texinfo (Tracking sources): Clarify that the vendor branch
1958 is only made the head revision when you import a new file, not any
1959 time you import a file.
1961 1998-05-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1963 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): info-cvs-request is now at gnu.org
1964 and is no longer handled by a human (hallelujah).
1966 1998-05-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@ascend.com>
1968 * cvs.texinfo: Add an info dir entry.
1969 Remove trailing white space.
1971 1998-05-05 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1973 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Be more explicit that -m 'COPY' has no
1974 effect on binary files.
1976 1998-05-02 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1978 * RCSFILES: Add more discussion of the order of the revisions.
1980 1998-04-27 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1982 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo example): Also give example of sending
1983 mail. Use internal variable $USER rather than expecting CVS to
1984 set the environment variable $USER. Change unnecessary 'sed'
1985 invocation to 'cat' (it suffered from the same problem in terms of
1986 internal variables versus environment variables).
1988 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "conflict: removed FILE was
1989 modified by second party".
1991 1998-04-20 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1993 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Update comment about meaning of
1996 1998-04-12 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1998 * cvsclient.texi (Dates): Also mention log -d.
2000 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): No space is allowed between -r or -w
2001 and its argument, for the log command.
2003 1998-04-11 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2005 * cvsclient.texi (Dates): New section, explaining the deal with
2008 1998-04-09 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2010 * cvs.texinfo (Global options, Invoking CVS): Fix typo
2011 ("files files" -> "files").
2012 (Invoking CVS): Make -q and -Q more concise.
2013 (Invoking CVS): Use @var for metavariables in "diff -r".
2015 1998-03-17 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2017 * cvs.texinfo (~/.cvsrc): In example, put "checkout" rather than
2018 "co" into .cvsrc; we just finished explaining that only the former
2019 works! Thanks to Lenny Foner for reporting this.
2021 * cvs.texinfo (Copying): Remove this node. This basically
2022 restores the status quo prior to 18 Oct 1996 (before then the node
2023 existed but was empty).
2024 (before Top): Adjust copyright notice accordingly.
2026 1998-03-12 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2028 * RCSFILES: Updated description of `hardlinks' newphrases.
2030 1998-03-07 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2032 * cvs.texinfo (Tags, Sticky tags, Creating a branch, Accessing
2033 branches): Rename release-0-1 tag to rel-0-1 and likewise for
2034 release-0-1-patches and release-0-4. This fixes an overfull hbox.
2035 (diff options): Reformat table to fix underfull hboxes and such.
2037 1998-03-07 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2039 * cvs.texinfo (Editing files, Special Files): Document hardlinks.
2040 Various cleanups to PreservePermissions text.
2041 * RCSFILES: Document PreservePermissions newphrases.
2043 1998-03-04 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2045 * cvs.texinfo (Special Files): Add notes about client/server CVS
2046 and hard links across directories.
2048 1998-03-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2050 * cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): The magic loginfo
2051 incantation isn't too likely to work except on unix.
2053 1998-02-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2055 * cvs.texinfo (user-defined logging): Double "@" literal.
2057 1998-02-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2059 * cvs.texinfo (user-defined logging): Add taginfo example.
2061 1998-02-04 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2063 * cvs.texinfo (config): PreservePermissions variable.
2064 (Special Files): New.

2069 * cvs.texinfo (Connection): New node.
2071 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol): Fix typo (lots -> lost).
2073 Sun Feb 8 21:39:22 1998 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2075 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): For admin -b, point to the section
2076 where we talk about reverting to vendor branch.
2078 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS, rdiff options): Document rdiff -V
2079 option as obsolete, since it was made a fatal error some time ago.
2081 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Add global options, keywords, and
2082 keyword substitution modes. Wording fix in reference to --help
2085 Wed Jan 28 23:09:39 1998 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2087 * cvs.texinfo (Excluding directories): Add index entry for "!".
2089 28 Jan 1998 Karl Fogel and Jim Kingdon
2091 * cvsclient.texi (Requests, Responses): document
2092 "wrapper-sendme-rcsOptions" and "Wrapper-rcsOption".

2110 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "Too many arguments!".
2112 Fri Dec 26 18:30:26 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2114 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Just point to the two canonical web
2115 sites (Pascal Molli and Cyclic) concerning CVS downloads. The GNU
2116 URL was out of date and GNU only has source distributions anyway.
2118 * cvs.texinfo: Change bug-cvs address to gnu.org per email from
2121 Tue Dec 23 18:04:09 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2123 * cvs.texinfo (Sticky tags): Further cleanups. Fix thinko
2124 (s/subsequent cvs update/& commands/). Remove "vi driver.c" and
2125 commit from example (totally vestigial). Reword start of
2126 paragraph on non-branch sticky tags, so that it better alludes
2127 to branch sticky tags. When introducing sticky tags, make it
2128 clear that even people who aren't trying to use sticky tags
2129 may need to know how to avoid them. Restore comment about
2131 (Accessing branches): Don't xref to merging here; that is a much
2132 more advanced topic and the "but see" wording didn't tell us what
2133 to see the xref about.
2135 Tue Dec 23 14:39:08 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2138 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a branch): Rewritten. Introduce with
2139 `tag', then discuss `rtag' and `-r'.
2141 Tue Dec 23 10:03:37 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2144 * cvs.texinfo: Changes to dehairify the "Sticky tags" situation:
2145 (Revisions): "Sticky tags" moved here, description in menu changed
2146 to be a little more informative.
2147 (Sticky tags): Moved from "Branching and merging" to "Revisions".
2148 (Accessing branches): New node in "Branching and merging",
2149 explains how to use checkout vs update to retrieve a branch.
2150 Text and example inherited from "Sticky tags", but text mostly
2152 (Sticky tags): Moved under "Revisions", rewritten somewhat (more
2153 rewrites to follow).
2154 Don't use "-v" in "cvs status" example.
2156 Mon Dec 22 11:46:05 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2159 Cleanups related to recent separation of revisions from
2161 * cvs.texinfo (Revisions): Take paragraph introducing branches,
2162 rewrite it and move it to "Branching and merging".
2163 (Branching and merging): Also rewrite merging intro.
2164 (Revision numbers): Don't go into detail about branch revision
2165 numbers here, just mention that they happen and refer to new
2166 node "Branches and revisions".
2167 (Branches and revisions): New node under "Branching and merging",
2168 inherits text from "Revision numbers".
2169 (Creating a branch): Refer to "Branches and revisions" now, not
2171 (Binary why): Rewrite sentence which refers to merging, so that
2172 it isn't specific to branch merging.
2173 (Branches motivation): Fix typo (select -> elect). Add comment
2174 about what this node is accomplishing, in general.
2176 Sun Dec 21 20:57:24 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2179 This is just moving text; related cleanups to follow.
2180 * cvs.texinfo: Changes to put branching and merging together, and
2181 keep it all separate from revisions:
2182 (Revisions): Renamed from "Revisions and branches".
2183 (Branching and merging): Renamed from "Merging".
2184 (Branches motivation, Creating a branch, Sticky tags, Magic branch
2185 numbers): these subnodes moved to "Branching and merging" from
2187 everywhere: Adjusted cross-references to cope with above.
2189 Sun Dec 21 20:36:39 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2192 Note that this is just moving text, not changing it:
2193 * cvs.texinfo: divide top-level menu into sections.
2194 (Multiple developers, Builds, Tracking sources, Keyword
2195 substitution): moved to be in "CVS and the Real World" section.

2225 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): State that
2226 GSSAPI is preferred to kserver. Try to be clearer about what
2227 the term "pserver" means. Introduce GSSAPI and cite the relevant
2228 RFCs. Discuss the limitations of the existing features in
2229 preventing hijacking.
2231 * cvs.texinfo (GSSAPI authenticated, Kerberos authenticated):
2232 Briefly introduce what GSSAPI and Kerberos are. Be slightly more
2233 emphatic about protecting against downgrade attacks.

2293 different meaning than most.
2295 Wed Nov 12 21:57:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2297 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions, Connecting via rsh, Environment
2298 variables): When putting an environment variable in the index, say
2299 it is an environment variable. Don't index the same name twice.
2301 * cvs.texinfo: Many edits to reflect the fact that CVS no longer
2302 invokes external RCS programs.
2304 Tue Nov 11 15:15:49 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2306 * cvs.texinfo (Locks, CVS in repository): New nodes, document the
2307 locking scheme and briefly outline CVS and CVS/fileattr.
2309 Sun Nov 9 17:39:41 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2311 * DIFFUTILS-2.7-BUG: Removed; the bug is fixed and the testcases
2312 are incorporated into sanity.sh.
2314 Sat Nov 8 09:49:38 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2316 * cvs.texinfo (Binary why): Try to be a little clearer about how
2317 merges fit into CVS. Say it may be error prone to have developers
2318 doing merges manually.

2347 while ago. Cleanups suggested by Stephen Gildea (CVSROOT/passwd
2348 has 2 or 3 fields; /user -> /usr; noone -> no one; in used -> in
2349 use). Add comment about making compilers happy about rcsids.
2351 Sat Oct 25 00:58:24 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

2364 flags really work. Give examples.
2365 (export options): refer the reader to the descriptions for `-d'

2404 * cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Change example branch number
2405 from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4; CVS assigns even branch numbers and I don't

2561 * cvs.texinfo (A sample session): Nuke index entry for "A sample
2562 session". The fact that this isn't "sample session" is totally

2567 concerning unknown -x option.

2593 responses were added.

2678 terminology of MUST, SHALL, &c.
2680 * cvs.texinfo (Windows permissions): New node.

2736 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Add "E" and
2737 "error" as responses in authentication protocol. The server

2870 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword substitution): Where it refers to RCS
2871 having a certain behavior, rewrite to not pass the buck like

2883 (diff): Replace text on exit status with an xref to that node.
2884 The previous text documented a behavior which CVS no longer
2886 (user-defined logging, commitinfo, verifymsg, Error messages):
2887 Add index entries for "exit status, of <something which CVS invokes>".
2889 * cvs.texinfo (Administrative files): Add comment concerning
2890 writing triggers and particularly performance issues.
2892 * cvs.texinfo (rtag options, tag options): Don't discuss what old
2893 versions did with respect to the behavior now controlled by -F; we
2894 don't try to document old versions here. Add comments concerning
2895 how -F should be documented. Add index entries for "renaming
2896 tags" and such pointing to "tag -F".
2898 Wed May 14 12:16:19 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2900 * cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add text and comment about
2901 automatically detecting binary files.
2903 Mon May 12 11:55:07 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2905 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Add item about
2908 Thu May 8 11:08:34 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2910 * cvs.texinfo (Update imports): Add comment about wdiff
2911 vs. fsf/wdiff in example.
2913 Wed May 7 13:52:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

2916 regarding what the "module" argument means.
2918 Tue May 6 18:02:27 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2920 * cvs.texinfo (History browsing): Add comment about looking at old
2923 Tue May 06 15:05:00 1997 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
2925 * cvs.texinfo: More additions/corrections for -R due to recent
2928 Mon Dec 16 15:18:00 1996 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
2930 * cvs.texinfo: Added/corrected documentation for -R. (Minor edits
2931 by Jim Kingdon to reflect recent changes in cvs.texinfo)
2933 Sun May 4 14:38:35 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2935 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about "D" lines in
2938 * cvs.texinfo (CVS commands, diff): Change "run diffs" to "show
2939 differences"; the former is jargon.
2940 (CVS commands): Don't refer to "rlog" in describing what log does.
2942 * Makefile.in (cvsclient.dvi cvsclient.aux): Run texi2dvi rather
2943 than (poorly) emulating it ourself.
2945 Fix overfull and underfull hboxes:
2946 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Add words "the newsgroup" before
2947 "comp.sources.unix".
2948 (Credits): Put list of people in @display.
2949 (Repository files): Put /usr/local/cvsroot in @example.
2950 (Connecting via rsh): Change "anklet" to "toe" in example.
2951 (Kerberos authenticated, Password authentication client, Password
2952 authentication server): Change "brickyard" to "yard" in example.
2953 (Read-only access): Use @example and refer to files with a shorter
2955 (Server temporary directory): Use @example for pathname.
2956 (Watches Compatibility): Add phony line break.
2957 (Revision numbers): Remove revision 1.2.2.2 and tighten up the
2958 spacing for "the main trunk".
2959 (Tags, Creating a branch): Change /usr/local/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot.
2960 (Merging more than once): Tighten up spacing for "the main trunk".
2961 (Recursive behavior): Put long command in @example.
2962 (First import): Remove word "called".
2963 (Common options): Put long URL in @example.
2964 (loginfo example): Use fewer hyphens in example.
2965 (Variables): Put long command name in @example.
2966 (Copying): Add line break.
2967 (Administrative files): Remove "the" from title.
2968 (Copying): Change "@unnumberedsec" to two "@heading"s.
2969 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Change /home/kingdon/zwork/cvsroot to
2971 (Example): Add word "file".
2972 (Example): Change line breaks in example log message.
2973 (Example): Change /home/kingdon/testing/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot.
2975 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Don't refer to appendix A and B, they
2976 have been renumbered. Reword so that it works whether the text in
2977 question has since been rewritten or not.
2979 * cvs.texinfo (BUGS): Rewrite to reflect the many different ways
2980 that one might want to handle bugs. Move information on Signum
2981 and Cyclic from Preface to here. Remove information on known
2982 deficiencies in the manual (some of them I'm not sure were really
2983 things in need of improvement; others were too general to be
2984 useful). For the most part FIXME comments are probably better for
2985 this. Remove "Linkoping, October 1993, Per Cederqvist"--many
2986 parts of the manual are now from other people, dates, and places.
2987 (What is CVS): For the most part, just refer to BUGS concerning
2988 bug-cvs. Also tell people how to subscribe to bug-cvs.
2989 (Credits): Say that list is not comprehensive and refer to
2992 Sat May 3 10:51:58 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2994 * cvs.texinfo (rcsinfo): Add comment about checkoutlist and
2997 * cvs.texinfo (Server temporary directory): New node.
2999 * cvs.texinfo (Backing up): New node.
3001 * cvs.texinfo (Repository): Be more explicit about the repository
3002 and the working directory not being subdirectories of each other.
3004 Mon Apr 28 11:12:56 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3006 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Use "*.c" not "?.c" in example;
3007 the former should be good for both unix and DOS-like operating
3008 systems. Document -f option. Refer to Invoking CVS for a full
3009 list of options. Add a few comments.
3011 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): For checkout and update, call them
3012 "sticky options" not "sticky kopts".
3014 * cvs.texinfo (Editing files): Add additional comments on get
3017 Sun Apr 27 16:17:06 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3019 * cvs.texinfo (commit): Only document the current flags (where -f
3020 is force and -F file gets the message from a log file). We had
3021 partly made this change on 9 Feb 1997, but some places got missed.
3023 * RCSFILES: Add discussion of the common concern regarding
3024 applying deltas to get to a branch head.
3026 * DIFFUTILS-2.7-BUG: New file.
3028 * cvs.texinfo (File status): Refer to "Invoking CVS", not
3029 "status", for status options. Add paragraph about how "cvs -n -q
3030 update" is another way to display file status.
3031 (update examples): Removed; it had contained the "cvs -n -q
3033 (Invoking CVS): xref to "File status" and "Tags", not "status" and
3035 (status, status options): Removed.
3036 (update options, checkout options): xref to "Invoking CVS"
3039 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify how long-lived Sticky and
3040 Static-directory are.
3042 * cvs.texinfo: Add @finalout.
3044 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "cannot change permissions on
3045 temporary directory" message.
3047 Wed Apr 23 12:53:45 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3049 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Document "add" in much more detail.
3051 Wed Apr 23 00:38:17 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3053 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Correct small typo (`a' for `as').
3055 Tue Apr 22 14:23:32 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3057 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Expand ideas on multisite
3058 features somewhat. Add items about the network turnarounds for
3059 pserver authentication and for protocol negotiation.
3061 Mon Apr 21 08:54:48 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3063 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Describe what to do
3064 with Entries.Log in more detail.
3066 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Say "CVS 1.9 and earlier" rather
3067 than "pre version 1.10". The latter increases confusion by
3068 referring to a version which doesn't exist yet.
3070 Mon Apr 21 01:02:53 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3072 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Document Rcs-diff. Indicate that
3073 Patched is now deprecated in favor of Rcs-diff.
3075 Sun Apr 20 23:42:03 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3077 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Add note about format
3078 of timestamp and the "Result of merge" concept.
3080 Sat Apr 19 13:42:33 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3082 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): It is OK for Copy-file to implement
3083 a rename instead of a copy.
3085 Fri Apr 18 12:05:48 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3087 * cvs.texinfo (Assigning revisions): Say that -r implies -f.
3089 Thu Apr 17 16:34:14 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3091 * cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): Add comment
3092 about CMZ and PATCHY.
3094 Wed Apr 16 12:35:25 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3096 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Add paragraph describing how
3097 Copy-file relates to Merged.
3098 (Responses): Add paragraph about how it is the server which
3099 worries about not clobbering the user's file.
3101 Tue Apr 15 00:57:31 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3103 * RCSFILES: Add notes on keyword expansion.
3105 * cvs.texinfo (Rename by copying): Comment out seemingly erroneous
3106 text regarding the revision number that the new file starts with.
3108 Mon Apr 14 12:37:35 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3110 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clients should try to send
3111 notifications right away.
3113 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): For Notify request, clarify a few
3114 future expansion situations. Specify the format of the time.
3116 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify that arguments to co, rdiff,
3117 and rtag are module names (and how that differs from file/directory
3120 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Say that servers need to create
3121 directories one at a time.
3123 Sat Apr 12 09:32:58 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3125 * cvs.texinfo (Committing your changes): Say that editor default
3126 is notepad (not vi) for Windows NT/95. Be more clear about what
3127 "cvs commit" does. Add paragraph about timestamps.
3128 (Environment variables, Global options, editinfo):
3129 Add xrefs to that node.
3131 Thu Apr 10 15:48:39 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3133 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "could not patch; will refetch".
3135 Wed Apr 9 15:21:11 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3137 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): New node.
3139 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add comment about "cvs co ." on
3142 Tue Apr 8 14:44:26 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3144 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add diff3 usage message.
3146 Sun Apr 6 19:03:01 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3148 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Add comment about undoing a "cvs
3151 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Explicitly mention the idea of
3152 deferring "Notify" requests.
3154 Tue Apr 1 07:51:38 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3156 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Add paragraph about directory
3157 creation and empty directories.
3159 * cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add comment about binary files and
3162 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add discussion of when to send
3165 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Sending Is-modified is enough to
3166 prevent the file from being considered "lost".
3168 Sun Mar 30 00:31:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3170 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add Is-modified request. Clarify
3171 order of Entry relative to Unchanged or Is-modified (might as well
3172 specify the same thing vis-a-vis Modified while we are at it).
3174 Sat Mar 29 12:32:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3176 * cvsclient.texi: Change "newline" to "linefeed". Most of the
3177 document already reads "linefeed" and that is what is intended.
3178 (File transmissions): New node, moved here from Requests.
3179 (Goals, Filenames, File transmissions, new node Strings): Add
3180 discussion of character sets and what we expect from the transport
3183 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add paragraph about each Directory
3184 request specifying a new local-directory and repository.
3186 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add paragraph about renaming
3187 local-directory in Directory request. Use "local-directory"
3188 consistently instead of "working directory", for clarity.
3190 Fri Mar 28 13:59:59 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3192 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Make it clear that there is no
3193 guarantee that one will get Clear-sticky instead of another
3194 response. Also clarify that clients will tend to store the
3195 repository in a long-term way.
3197 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Further clarify Directory example.
3199 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add example and further explanation
3200 of what expand-modules is for.
3202 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add example, hopefully making it
3203 clearer what REPOSITORY and LOCAL-DIRECTORY mean to Directory.
3205 * cvs.texinfo (Attic): New node.
3206 (rtag options): Adjust discussion of -a accordingly.
3207 (Repository files): Adjust accordingly.
3209 Thu Mar 27 09:57:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3211 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Give exact wording of broken pipe
3214 * cvs.texinfo (history database): Add comment about various
3215 problems with the history file.
3217 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): The ISO8601 web page we had
3218 mentioned in a comment is no more. Replace it with a new one.
3220 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): "cvs history" also outputs dates.
3222 Wed Mar 26 10:54:21 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3224 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): "cvs editors" also outputs dates.
3226 * cvs.texinfo (Outside): Fix paragraph which said that revision
3227 numbers start at 1.0. First of all, it is 1.1. Second of all, it
3228 is sometimes 2.1, 3.1, etc. Third of all, the xref should be to
3229 Assigning revisions not commit options.
3231 * cvs.texinfo (Outside): Comment out sentence which incorrectly
3232 stated that "cvs add" can operate on "foo/bar.c".
3234 Tue Mar 25 22:21:29 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3236 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): New node.
3237 (Magic branch numbers): Move from Troubleshooting to Revisions and
3238 branches. The former placement never made any sense to me.
3239 (Revision numbers): Remove "Main trunk (intro)" index entry now
3240 that this node is right next to the other "main trunk" index
3242 (BUGS): Very briefly mention reporting bugs in CVS.
3244 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about "Nfoo" in CVS/Tag.
3246 Mon Mar 24 13:50:24 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3248 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a branch): Add comment about -r in branch
3251 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Discuss meaning of tagspec and
3252 future expansion in Set-sticky. The behavior described is the one
3253 which CVS has always implemented.
3255 Fri Mar 21 14:19:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3257 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Revise meaning of "Case" per change
3260 Tue Mar 18 15:50:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3262 The following reorganization hopefully presents numeric revisions
3263 in a slightly more coherent fashion. The only new material is the
3264 paragraph about assigning revisions for added files.
3265 * cvs.texinfo (A sample session): Bring in a sentence from Basic
3266 concepts node, defining a repository.
3267 (Revisions and branches): Renamed from Branches (it has always
3268 covered non-branch tags too). Bring in nodes "Revision numbers" and
3269 "Versions revisions releases" from Basic concepts, the former in
3270 particular was way too detailed for an intro section.
3271 (A sample session): Add comment about how we need an introduction
3272 and what might go into one. Also bring in the paragraph from
3273 Basic concepts introducing modules, but comment it out.
3274 (Viewing differences): Add comment about
3275 (Basic concepts): Removed; its content has been farmed out as
3276 described above, and as the comment said, it was fundamentally
3278 (Assigning revisions): New node. Incorporates the "New major
3279 release number" subsubsec which was in "commit examples". Add
3280 paragraph concerning how CVS assigns revisions on added files.
3281 (commit options): Refer to that node under -r.
3282 (Invoking CVS): Add comment about text for -r.
3284 Tue Mar 18 13:04:30 1997 Jim Meyering <meyering@totoro.cyclic.com>
3286 * Makefile.in: (install-info): Depend on installdirs.
3288 Sun Mar 16 12:37:12 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3290 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): CVSUMASK now works for RCS
3291 files; but it is (still) awkward for client/server CVS.
3293 Sat Mar 15 17:41:12 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3295 * cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Add comment about where this
3298 Thu Mar 13 09:11:36 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3300 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Fix grammatical mistake ("manual about"
3301 -> "manual is about"). Reported by Philippe De Muyter.
3303 Sun Mar 9 09:06:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3305 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Add comment about val-tags and
3308 Sun Mar 2 12:33:26 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3310 * cvs.texinfo (From scratch): Add comment about creating
3311 directories with add rather than import.
3313 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Add comment about how this
3314 somewhat duplicates Server requirements.
3316 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Add comment about rsh
3317 vs. remsh. Also wording fix ("incorrect" -> "inapplicable").
3319 * cvs.texinfo (Outside): Add comment about renames and annotate.
3321 * cvs.texinfo (Server requirements): New node.
3323 Thu Feb 27 15:20:49 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3325 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Reword section on "cvs admin
3326 -l". As nearly as I can tell based on when it came up on info-cvs
3327 and other contexts, people who are into reserved checkouts
3328 generally find that cvs admin -l is OK. Add a bunch more notes
3329 (inside @ignore) about reserved checkout implementation ideas.
3331 Sun Feb 23 16:12:03 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3333 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add various additional comments
3336 * RCSFILES: Remove diff for Id and explain it in words instead.
3337 The previous values for Id had been clobbered by keyword expansion
3338 on the RCSFILES file itself.
3340 Sat Feb 22 14:16:28 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3342 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Fix typo (missing backslash).
3344 Fri Feb 21 23:08:38 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3346 * RCSFILES: New file.
3347 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Add RCSFILES.
3349 20 Feb 1997 Lenny Foner <foner@media.mit.edu>
3351 * cvs.texinfo (Checklist): Fix typo ("keword" -> "keyword").
3353 Thu Feb 20 21:57:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3355 * cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): Add "web" to index.
3357 Wed Feb 12 18:44:16 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3359 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication client, Invoking CVS):
3360 Document "cvs logout" command.
3362 Tue Feb 11 20:42:45 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3364 * cvs.texinfo (commit options): Document that the -f option to
3365 commit disables recursion.
3367 Sun Feb 9 13:58:59 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3369 * cvs.texinfo (diff options): Document all the options we pass
3370 through to diff. Remove paragraph about -D sometimes meaning
3371 --ifdef since that is no longer true.
3373 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Add lengthy comment about
3374 reserved checkout design issues.
3376 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add paragraph about timestamps.
3378 * cvs.texinfo (commit options): Don't try to document what CVS 1.3
3379 does with -f and how recent versions differ: 1.3 is pretty old
3380 anyway, we generally only try to document the current version, and
3381 the way it was described here was pretty confusing.
3382 (Environment variables): Likewise for CVSEDITOR.
3384 * cvs.texinfo (import output): Add index entries for symbolic
3385 links. Add brief mention of whether behavior should be
3386 different. Add comments on other symbolic link issues.
3388 Wed Feb 5 13:02:37 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3390 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): Add comment about commit/commit
3393 Mon Feb 3 10:55:41 1997 joel boutros <nihilis@moral.addiction.com>
3395 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Fix typo (programs -> problems).
3397 Fri Jan 31 12:18:47 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3399 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Correct typo
3400 (``sent'' for ``send''), and rewrite sentence for clarity.
3402 Fri Jan 24 10:31:57 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3404 * cvs.texinfo (File status): Change "Unresolved Conflict" to "File
3405 had conflicts on merge" per change to CVS.
3407 Sun Jan 19 16:21:17 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3409 * cvs.texinfo (admin): Add comments about "group" and "compiled in
3410 value". At least one info-cvs poster was confused by this.
3412 Thu Jan 16 17:54:51 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3414 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): It is just -t/-f which doesn't work
3415 client/server. -k *does* (well, except for the problem with
3416 import noted in BUGS). -m I don't know and I doubt anyone cares.
3418 Mon Jan 13 15:41:02 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@ynu38.ynu.edu.cn>
3420 * cvs.texinfo (Read-only access): rephrase to imply that there may
3421 be other administrative files, besides history and locks, which
3422 read-only users can also affect (in the future, for example, the
3425 Wed Jan 8 14:50:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3427 * Makefile.in: Remove CVSid; we decided to get rid
3428 of these some time ago.
3430 Wed Jan 8 09:08:36 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3432 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Document
3433 restriction that cvs root sent in the cvs protocol and in the
3434 pserver authentication protocol must be identical.
3436 Thu Jan 2 13:30:56 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3438 * Makefile.in, cvs.texinfo: Remove "675" paragraph;
3439 see ../ChangeLog for rationale.
3441 Thu Jan 2 09:34:51 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@ynu38.ynu.edu.cn>
3443 * cvs.texinfo (Read-only access): new node.
3444 (Repository): new menu item for above new node.
3445 (Password authentication server): document the user-aliasing
3446 feature. Why was this undocumented before?
3448 Wed Jan 1 18:12:11 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3450 * cvs.texinfo (Conflicts example): Use @asis in example to prevent
3451 starting a line with a conflict marker. This means that when
3452 maintaining the file with CVS itself, CVS will not think there is
3453 a conflict merely because of the conflict marker in the example.
3454 IMHO, this is totally bogus and CVS needs a better way of figuring
3455 out whether a conflict is resolved (see comments elsewhere in this
3456 node), but until then.... Credit to Fred Fish for reporting the
3459 * cvs.texinfo (cvsignore): Add paragraph about how .cvsignore
3460 files in the sources being imported by "cvs import" override
3461 "-I !". Credit goes to Fred Fish for pointing out this problem.
3463 Thu Dec 19 12:36:46 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3465 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Update Roland Pesch email address per his
3468 Tue Dec 17 12:57:56 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3470 * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): In example, remove text "and reedit if
3471 necessary"; it was copied from editinfo and doesn't apply here.
3472 Fix syntax of if statement; remove unnecessary attempt at loop;
3473 don't use -n with echo. Add @appendixsec at start of node.
3474 Add note about how verifymsg cannot change log message.
3475 (editinfo): In paragraph saying editinfo is obsolete, fix various
3476 typos and formatting glitches. Mention -e as well as EDITOR.
3477 (editinfo): In saying that editinfo doesn't get consulted with -m,
3478 -F or client/server, recommend verifymsg. Remove comment which
3479 says, in effect, "we need a feature like verifymsg".
3480 (editinfo example): Change "verifymsg" back to "editinfo" here;
3481 the example is of editinfo not verifymsg.
3483 Tue Dec 17 12:45:32 1996 Abe Feldman <feldman@cyclic.com>
3485 * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): New node.
3486 various places: Say that editinfo is obsolete, or refer to
3487 verifymsg instead of editinfo
3489 Wed Dec 11 08:55:26 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3491 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about 1.3 and file death.
3493 * cvs.texinfo (update output, release output): Document "P" as
3496 Tue Dec 10 16:23:40 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3498 * cvs.texinfo (Builds): Change "make" to "implement" and "build";
3499 in this context "make" is ambiguous.
3500 (Builds): Add new URL of mk web page.
3502 Mon Dec 9 11:03:37 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3504 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication client, Environment
3505 variables): Remove mention of CVS_PASSWORD.
3507 Sun Dec 8 22:38:34 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3509 * cvs.texinfo (Repository files): Mention differences between RCS
3510 files in RCS and in CVS.
3511 (Tags): Tag names must start with a letter.
3513 Fri Dec 6 09:08:18 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3515 * cvs.texinfo (syntax): Expand discussion of regular expression
3518 Fri Nov 29 09:06:41 1996 fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish)
3519 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3521 * cvs.texinfo, cvsclient.texi: Make sure @ref and friends are
3522 followed by "," or "." as described in the texinfo manual. This
3523 is a dubious practice as texi2html and texinfo.tex don't require
3524 it, and makeinfo could insert them as needed, but since makeinfo
3525 doesn't do that yet, cope.
3527 * cvs.texinfo (From files): Suggest "diff -r" rather than "ls -R"
3528 as the way to see that the sources seem to have been imported
3530 (Common options): -k is also available with import.
3531 (admin options): Fix typo ("interrested" -> "interested").
3533 Mon Nov 25 10:03:56 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3535 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comments about two digit
3536 years, year 2000, and ambiguous/nonexistent dates.
3538 Sun Nov 24 17:27:24 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3540 * cvs.texinfo (First import): Don't say what the wdiff program we
3541 are using as an example does--that is confusing. Also don't show
3542 untarring it--people might be familiar with cpio, ZIP, VMS BACKUP,
3543 etc., instead of tar.
3545 * cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Update comment about "cvs add -m".
3547 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Remove -H; -H is not a command
3549 (Global options): Also list --help and --version. Don't say that
3550 -H gives a list of commands; it doesn't any more (directly).
3552 * cvs.texinfo: Add comment pointing to paper size web page.
3554 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Rewrite section on date formats.
3555 Executive summary is that RFC822 and ISO8601 are now preferred.
3557 Wed Nov 20 08:39:45 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3559 * cvs.texinfo (Getting Notified): Add paragraph clarifying that
3560 watches happen per user, not per working directory.
3562 Tue Nov 19 09:39:08 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3564 * cvs.texinfo (Tags): Suggest that future special tag names might
3565 start with ".". Fix typo.
3567 * cvs.texinfo (Removing directories): -P is also available with
3569 (Moving directories): Rewrite first paragraph; now says that you
3570 must use -P for the directory to disappear from working
3571 directories. Thanks to Martin Lorentzon
3572 <Martin.Lorentzson@emw.ericsson.se> for reporting this bug.
3573 (various): Where we mention -P, point to Removing directories
3576 Sat Nov 16 18:03:22 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3578 * cvsclient.texi (Example): Rewrite to actually be based on a real
3579 live example (and therefore reflect the way the protocol currently
3580 works). Add comment about formatting of the document itself.
3582 Thu Nov 14 10:22:58 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3584 * cvsclient.texi (Introduction): Use @ref, not @xref, after "see".
3585 (Goals): Rewrite items about locking, about uploading in big
3586 chunks, and about atomicity to be focused more on the protocol
3587 than the current implementation.
3588 (Notes): Remove this node. The attempt to describe the basic
3589 model has pretty much been replaced by the Introduction.
3590 The material about how to start the client is incomplete and
3591 better left to cvs.texinfo. And the item about the lack of
3592 SERVER_FLOWCONTROL is obsolete now that SERVER_FLOWCONTROL is the
3594 (Protocol Notes): Add comment about multisite features.
3595 (Requirements): Use @code for requests and responses.
3597 * cvs.texinfo (Remote repositories): Add a few sentences defining
3598 "client" and "server"; before we had been using the terms without
3601 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Add paragraph about reporting bugs.
3602 Reword and expand comp.software.config-mgmt description (and add
3603 comments about other newsgroup facts). Point people at GNU list
3604 of FTP sites rather than directly at prep.ai.mit.edu.
3606 Wed Nov 6 09:45:08 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3608 * cvs.texinfo (Tracking sources): Add comment regarding added and
3611 Tue Nov 5 14:00:31 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3613 * cvs.texinfo: Rename node "Invoking CVS" to "CVS commands".
3614 Rewrite the intro and comments to reflect addition of the new
3616 (Invoking CVS): New node, a quick summary of each command.
3617 (annotate): Don't list the options; refer to Invoking CVS and
3618 Common options instead.
3620 Sun Nov 3 21:22:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3622 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): New node, moved from ../README.
3624 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about how tar manual
3625 contains documentation for getdate date formats.
3627 Fri Nov 1 14:00:31 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3629 * cvs.texinfo (commit examples): Rewrite "New major release
3630 number" section to tighten up the wording, better motivate the
3631 discussion, and replace the term "rcs revision number" with
3634 Fri Oct 25 07:49:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3636 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): Don't say "a la printf"; the syntax is
3637 only vaguely similar to printf.
3639 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): To get just the repository name, suggest
3640 %{} instead of % "standing alone"; the latter is now an error.
3642 Tue Oct 22 13:08:54 1996 Noel Cragg <noel@gargle.rain.org>
3644 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): add information on the new loginfo format
3645 string specification.
3647 Mon Oct 21 17:33:44 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3649 * cvs.texinfo (Builds): New node.
3650 (What is CVS?): Refer to it.
3652 Sat Oct 19 14:32:21 1996 Jim Meyering <meyering@asic.sc.ti.com>
3653 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3655 * cvs.texinfo (Choosing a model): Wording/grammar fix.
3657 Sat Oct 19 14:32:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3659 * cvsclient.texi (Obsolete): New node.
3660 (Requests): Remove Repository and Lost and adjust Directory,
3661 UseUnchanged, and other places accordingly.
3662 (Required): Directory and Unchanged are now required.
3664 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Don't talk about modules; they are
3665 not relevant in this context.
3666 (Removing directories): New node.
3667 (Common options): Refer to it instead of duplicating information.
3669 Fri Oct 18 11:05:06 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3671 * cvs.texinfo (First import, import): Add paragraph about the fact
3672 that import doesn't modify the directory which it imports from.
3674 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Add paragraph about
3675 resource requirements.
3677 * cvs.texinfo (Copying): Replace empty node with a copy of the GPL.
3679 Thu Oct 17 12:10:55 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3681 * cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Revise comment to more accurately
3682 reflect the functioning/nonfunctioning status of cvs add -m.
3684 * cvs.texinfo (Reverting local changes): New node, somewhat based
3685 on the version of this node from 30 Sep 96 change.
3686 (admin options): Refer to it.
3688 * cvs.texinfo: Reinstate 30 Sep 96 change from A4 to US letter.
3690 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): When telling people how to clean up
3691 locks, tell them to make sure the locks are owned by the person
3692 who has the stale locks.
3693 (update output, release output): Remove text about how CVS doesn't
3694 print "? foo" for directories; CVS has since been changed (see
3695 conflicts-130 in sanity.sh).
3697 Wed Oct 16 15:01:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3699 * cvs.texinfo (history options): Mention new option -x E.
3701 Mon Oct 14 15:21:25 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3703 * cvs.texinfo (Tags): Add paragraph on choosing a convention for
3706 Thu Oct 10 16:05:26 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3708 * cvs.texinfo (modules): Describe what & does.
3710 Mon Oct 7 17:20:11 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3712 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Correct apparent cut and paste
3713 error: refer to the removed file, not the added file.
3715 Tue Oct 1 14:15:33 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3717 * cvs.texinfo: Revert all recent changes (the last unscathed one
3718 is the CVSUMASK one from Sunday). For the most part said changes
3719 are for new features which are not appropriate at this stage of
3720 the release process. None of the changes being reverted need to
3721 go into 1.9, that is for sure.
3723 Mon Sep 30 18:17:34 1996 Greg A. Woods <woods@most.weird.com>
3725 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): add comment asking if we should update.
3726 Add more detail about printing Letter on A4.
3727 Add some comments about internal comments.
3728 (From files): describe "cvs import -b 1" for importing existing
3729 projects onto the main branch.
3730 (First import): add a couple of helpful hints about naming vendor
3731 and release tags, etc., and regularize the examples with this.
3732 (Tracking sources): noted some reasons why you might use vendor
3733 branches with "cvs import".
3734 (Update imports): mention using "update" in place of "checkout" if
3735 you have an existing working directory.
3736 (Binary files in imports): add sub-menu separator comment.
3737 (Tracking sources): new menu entry "Reverting to vendor release".
3738 (Reverting to vendor release): new node to describe reverting
3739 local changes and optionally using patch(1) to move local changes
3741 (Global options): describe -D and -g, as well as DIFFBIN and
3743 (export examples): add one.
3744 (import options): describe the effect of '-b 1'.
3746 Mon Sep 30 08:09:53 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3748 * cvs.texinfo: Adjust comments concerning A4 vs. US letter,
3749 referring to ../README.
3751 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about dates which CVS
3754 Sun Sep 29 11:14:16 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3756 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Don't mention Name twice.
3758 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Expand CVSUMASK stuff a bit.
3759 (Setting a watch, Environment variables, Global options): Update
3760 index entries for "read-only files, and ...".
3762 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): State that Gzip-stream is preferred
3763 to gzip-file-contents. Cite RFC1952/1951 rather than just "gzip".
3764 Say that RFC1950/1951 compression is also known as "zlib".
3766 Sat Sep 28 09:31:45 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3768 * cvs.texinfo (Repository): Move all information about the
3769 internal structure of the repository to User modules node. Rename
3770 it to "Repository storage" ("User modules" wasn't particularly
3771 clear). Mention CVSUMASK. Much clarification and
3773 (Basic concepts): Remove material which duplicates what is now in
3774 Repository. Rewrite paragraph introducing modules.
3776 * cvs.texinfo (Starting a new project): In discussing difficulty
3777 in renaming files, don't refer to "cvs 1.x"--there is no
3778 non-vaporous "cvs 2.x". Reword to reflect that part of the reason
3779 to avoid renames (where possible) is not because of CVS at all, and
3780 to try to give a general impression of how bad CVS issues involved in
3783 Fri Sep 27 04:23:44 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3785 * cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Talk about directories, not modules,
3786 since that is what is meant. Suggest using -kb option to add
3787 rather than running cvs admin after the fact and xref to Binary
3788 files not admin examples. Incorporate information which had been
3789 in "add" node (there was a lot of duplication). Don't document
3790 use of "add" on a directory to take the place of "cvs update -d";
3791 the latter is simpler and more logical.
3792 (add, add options, add examples): Removed.
3793 (release output, release options): Update xrefs accordingly.
3794 (Adding files, Removing files): Mention the fact that adds and
3795 removes are branch-specific.
3796 (Merging adds and removals): New node.
3798 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): When mentioning RCS locks, use the
3799 term reserved checkouts and xref to the place where we discuss
3802 Thu Sep 26 08:26:01 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3804 * cvs.texinfo (log): Add comments about timezones.
3805 (log, Common options): Add index entries for timezone and zone, time.
3807 Wed Sep 25 11:05:30 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3809 * cvs.texinfo (log options): Add xref to where we describe the
3810 date formats that -d accepts.
3811 (Common options): Don't refer to date formats accepted by co(1);
3812 CVS's rules have never been the same. Add long whiny comment
3813 about what a mess date formats are.
3815 Tue Sep 24 11:49:02 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3817 * cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): The RCS file
3818 must not be locked when you copy it to the CVS repository.
3820 * cvs.texinfo (Editing files): Also discuss how to revert in the
3821 non-watch case. Add some index entries.
3823 * cvs.texinfo (update output): Add comment about how we *should*
3824 be handling .# files. Mention fact that it is different under
3825 VMS. Add .# to index.
3827 Fri Sep 20 13:08:33 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3829 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Revise text on reserved
3830 versus unreserved checkouts extensively. Move index entries for
3831 "reserved checkouts" and "RCS-style locking" to here. Add
3832 cross-reference to cvs admin -l. Add new section "Choosing a
3834 (Editing files): Add note about use of the word "checkout".
3836 Tue Sep 17 00:54:57 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3838 * cvs.texinfo (Defining the module): Don't suggest "cvs co
3839 modules"; that depends on a "modules" module being defined which
3840 is not the default which is created by "cvs init". Instead
3841 suggest "cvs co CVSROOT/modules" which should always work.
3843 Tue Sep 17 00:43:49 1996 VaX#n8 <vax@linkdead.paranoia.com>
3844 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3846 * cvs.texinfo (Rename by copying): Suggest "cvs tag -d" on the file
3847 "new", not on everything. Also don't suggest deleting branch tags.
3849 Tue Sep 17 00:34:39 1996 David A. Swierczek <swierczekd@med.ge.com>
3851 * Makefile.in (install-info): Note whether files are in srcdir and
3852 deal with it rather than cd'ing into srcdir.
3854 Mon Sep 16 23:33:36 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3856 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add comment about using wrappers to
3857 compress files in the repository.
3859 * cvs.texinfo (modules): Add comments about how we should be
3860 documenting how -i and friends operate in client/server CVS.
3862 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Describe the need for write
3863 permissions for locks and val-tags.
3865 * cvs.texinfo (commitinfo): Add comment about using commitinfo to
3866 enforce who has access.
3868 Wed Jul 24 17:01:41 1996 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
3869 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3871 * cvs.texinfo (checkout): Refer to "update output" node.
3872 (import): Add new import output node.
3873 (release): Correct release output menu entry (used to be
3874 release options instead).
3875 (update output): Say this is output from checkout as well as
3878 Mon Sep 16 16:18:38 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3880 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Clarify that CVS uses MM/DD/YY dates.
3882 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about what HEAD means.
3884 Mon Sep 16 10:52:04 1996 Norbert Kiesel <nk@col.sw-ley.de>
3886 * cvs.texinfo (Global options): Document global '-T' option.
3888 Sat Sep 14 10:46:58 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3890 * cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): New node.
3892 Fri Sep 13 23:55:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3894 * cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Delete song and dance about
3895 how cvs log can't cope with magic branches because rlog doesn't
3896 know about them; cvs log no longer calls rlog. Delete item about
3897 how you can't specify a symbolic branch to cvs log; that is fixed.
3899 Wed Sep 11 22:48:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3901 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Add comments
3902 regarding port numbers and troubleshooting.
3904 Tue Sep 10 10:36:00 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3906 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Reword text regarding info-cvs,
3907 to avoid overfull hbox.
3909 * cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add comment about further issues
3910 with recovering from failure to use -kb.
3912 * cvs.texinfo (Conflicts example): Describe the "feature" by which
3913 CVS won't check in files with conflicts.
3914 (File status): Expand and revise to document all the possible
3915 statuses from cvs status. Also document "Working revision" and
3916 "Repository revision". Refer to other sections for other aspects
3918 (status options): Refer to other sections as appropriate.
3919 (update output): Refer user to Conflicts example node. Add
3920 comment regarding purging of .# files.
3922 Fri Sep 6 11:47:14 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3924 * cvs.texinfo (Kerberos authenticated): Mention need for
3925 --enable-encryption option in order to use encryption.

4169 methods; fix pserver info.

4174 more accurately where we put temporary files.
4176 * cvs.texinfo (From files): Say directory tree instead of module
