1231 2000-11-08 Derek Price <derek.price@openavenue.com>
1233 * cvs.texinfo (settitle): add the version number to the title string
1234 so that it is easier to find on HTML pages and the like.
1236 2000-10-20 Jim Kingdon <http://sourceforge.net/users/kingdon/>
1238 * cvs.texinfo (Variables): Document CVS_USER.

1243 a password in the repository name when performaing a checkout.
1245 2000-10-17 Derek Price <derek.price@openavenue.com>
1247 * cvs.texinfo (Remote repositories, password authenticated, GSSAPI
1248 authenticated, Kerberos authenticated, Environment variables):
1249 Documented CVSROOT spec change & CVS_CLIENT_PORT.
1251 2000-10-10 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1253 * cvs.texinfo (Connection): Add additional notes about common
1254 pserver error messages. Remove information about unsetting $HOME
1255 since CVS no longer pays any attention to it in server mode.
1257 2000-09-07 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1259 * Makefile.in: Use @bindir@, @libdir@, @infodir@, and @mandir@
1262 2000-08-21 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1264 * cvs.texinfo (Removing directories, export): Note that export always
1265 prunes directories and remove references to the non-existent -P flag.
1267 2000-07-28 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1269 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Ensure that all rootless requests say
1270 that they're rootless.
1272 2000-07-12 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1274 * cvs.texinfo (Module program options): Remove note that commit and
1275 update programs only working locally; they've worked client/server
1276 for quite some time.
1278 2000-07-10 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1280 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Document new version command.

1298 2000-05-19 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1300 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Note that Global_option is now
1303 2000-04-17 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1305 * cvs.texinfo (Variables): Clarify what USER means in pserver.
1307 2000-03-08 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>

1316 2000-02-21 K.J. Paradise <kj@sourcegear.com>
1318 * cvs.texinfo : Adding John Cavanaugh's patch to allow
1319 the history file to log actions based on the CVSROOT/config
1320 file. (To limit which cvs actions actually make it into the
1323 2000-02-17 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1325 * cvs.texinfo: Remove references to PreservePermissions.
1327 * cvs.texinfo (history options): Note default report type.
1329 2000-01-18 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1331 * cvs.texinfo (Global options): Document compression levels.

1335 * cvs.texinfo: Minor editorial changes from Ken Foskey
1336 <waratah@zip.com.au>.
1338 2000-01-11 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1340 * cvs.texinfo: Add index entries for "Compression" and "Gzip".
1341 Correct typography in many index entries (English phrases should
1342 have initial caps, subcommands/files/etc. should be as-is).
1344 2000-01-10 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1346 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): correctly describe CVSROOT/loginfo's
1347 %-expansion behavior. Thanks to Karl Heinz Marbaise
1348 <kama@hippo.fido.de> for noticing the error.
1350 2000-01-07 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1352 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Use -f in example
1354 (Connection): Add advice about using shell script or env to avoid
1355 problems with inetd setting HOME in the server's environment.
1356 (various): Use @file for inetd.conf.
1358 2000-01-02 John P Cavanaugh <cavanaug@sr.hp.com>
1360 * cvs.texinfo: document new -C option to update, now that it works
1361 both remotely and locally.
1362 (Re-applied by Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>.)
1364 1999-12-11 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1366 * Revert previous change -- it doesn't work remotely yet.
1368 1999-12-10 John P Cavanaugh <cavanaug@sr.hp.com>
1370 * cvs.texinfo: document new -C option to update.
1371 (Applied by Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>.)
1373 1999-11-20 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1375 * cvs.texinfo(history options): Document -f, -n, and -z.
1377 1999-11-09 Jim Kingdon <http://developer.redhat.com/>
1379 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Document the arguments to "log", now
1380 that I've changed log.c to be more specific in terms of what it
1383 1999-11-05 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1385 * cvs.texinfo: Revert Karl's change once again since the code is now
1386 fixed. Add "Variables" and "User variables" to index.
1388 1999-11-04 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1390 * log.c (log_usage): Revert Jim Kingdon's reversion of my change
1391 of 1999-11-03. Allowing a space between option and argument
1392 results in lossage; here is a reproduction recipe: run this from
1393 the top of a remote copy of the cvs source tree
1395 cvs log -d '>1999-03-01' > log-out.with-space
1397 and then run this (note there's no space after -d now):
1399 cvs log -d'>1999-03-01' > log-out.no-space
1401 The resulting files differ; furthermore, a glance at the output of
1402 cvs shows that the first command failed to recurse into
1403 subdirectories. Until this misbehavior can be fixed in the source
1404 code, the documentation should reflect the true state of affairs:
1405 if one simply omits the space, everything works fine.
1407 1999-11-04 Jim Kingdon <http://developer.redhat.com/>
1409 * cvs.texinfo (log options): Revert Karl's change regarding -d and
1410 -s. A space is allowed (see sanity.sh for example).
1412 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): The name of the
1413 file is "passwd" not "password".
1415 * cvsclient.texi (Top): Add @dircategory and @direntry.
1417 1999-11-04 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1419 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server, Password
1420 authentication client): Rewritten to accommodate the [new]
1421 possibility of empty passwords.
1423 1999-11-03 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1425 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): correct documentation for -d and -s
1426 options (as did elsewhere, earlier today).
1428 1999-11-03 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1430 * cvs.texinfo (Setting a watch): describe `watch off' behavior
1433 1999-11-03 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1435 * cvs.texinfo (log options): correct documentation for -d and -s
1436 options. There can be no space between these options and their
1439 Also, make sure all @sc{cvs} codes refer to "cvs" in lower case;
1440 this avoids makeinfo warnings. And use @code for the CVSEDITOR
1441 environment variable, not @sc.
1443 1999-09-24 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1445 * cvs.texinfo: Misc. formatting cleanups.
1447 1999-07-16 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1449 * cvs.texinfo (admin): Mention admin -k exception. Add cvsadmin
1452 1999-07-14 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1454 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Note inetd limits
1455 and suggest using shell script to avoid.
1457 1999-06-01 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1459 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): For the import command, the
1460 repository given to the Directory requests is ignored.
1462 1999-05-27 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1464 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify that Modified, Is-modified,
1465 Notify and Unchanged must specify a file within the current
1468 1999-05-24 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1470 * cvs.texinfo (checkoutlist): New node, contains more complete
1471 documentation of this feature.
1472 (CVSROOT storage): Refer to the new node when mentioning
1474 (Administrative files): Update the menu entry for Wrappers.
1476 1999-05-17 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1478 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): For Notify request, strike duplicate
1479 "Response expected: no" and fix "a edit" -> "an edit".
1481 1999-05-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1483 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Try to be more clear
1484 about the conflict field.
1486 1999-05-11 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1488 * cvs.texinfo (config): Use comma after @xref (thanks to Pavel
1489 Roskin for the report/fix).
1491 1999-05-10 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1493 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Document restrictions on characters
1496 1999-05-04 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1498 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication security): Remove sentence
1499 about how no one has audited pserver for holes; a lot of holes
1500 have been closed, looking for, &c, since that was written.
1501 In the summary, reword to reflect the fact that sniffing a
1502 readonly password does not imply general system access (as far as
1505 * cvs.texinfo (Connection): Also suggest inetd -d.
1507 1999-04-28 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1509 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Say what goes in the "watches" field
1510 of the "Notify" request.
1512 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): -r is for branches too.
1514 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "no such tag" message.
1515 (Common options): -f does not override val-tags check.
1517 1999-04-26 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1519 * cvs.texinfo (Locks): #cvs.rfl locks must start with "#cvs.rfl."
1520 not just "#cvs.rfl". As far as I know CVS has always implemented
1521 the former behavior, and this just fixes the documentation.
1523 1999-04-23 Yoshiki Hayashi of u-tokyo.ac.jp
1525 * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): Correct wrong file name (bugid.edit ->
1528 1999-04-22 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1530 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): The text in the "M" response is not
1531 designed for machine parsing. Likewise for "error" in regular
1532 protocol. Likewise for "E" and "error" in authentication protocol.
1534 1999-04-19 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1536 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "Cannot check out files into
1537 the repository itself".
1539 1999-04-16 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1541 * cvs.texinfo (Other problems): Add the Windows problem with home
1542 directory ending in a slash.
1544 1999-04-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1546 * cvs.texinfo (CVS in repository): Include the format of the
1547 fileattr file here, rather than referring to the CVS source code.
1549 1999-04-09 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1551 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Whether the timestamp
1552 in CVS/Entries is local or universal actually depends on the system.
1554 1999-04-05 Derek Price
1555 <http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/resume.html>
1557 * cvs.texinfo (export options): Remove notation that the -r
1558 tag is sticky. 'cvs export' doesn't store that data.
1560 1999-04-08 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1562 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "EOF in RCS file" and
1563 "unexpected EOF" (in RCS file) messages.
1565 1999-03-25 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1567 * cvs.texinfo (admin options): Say there can be no space between
1568 -e and its argument (since the previous sentence said the argument
1569 can be omitted, this is the only possibility).
1571 1999-02-26 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1573 * cvs.texinfo (Merging and keywords): When including conflict
1574 markers, put @asis{} at the start of the line, in case this file
1575 itself is in CVS. Thanks to Derek Price for pointing this out.
1577 1999-02-25 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1579 * cvs.texinfo: Refer to "keywords" not "RCS keywords". We had
1580 only used the latter term in a few places, and it seems like a
1581 somewhat odd term in that this style of keyword is by no means
1583 (Merging a branch): Remove spurious ")". Use ref, not xref, after
1585 (Merging a branch, Substitution modes): Make sure that @ref is
1586 followed by comma, since info wants that.
1587 (Merging and keywords): Use samp not code for "-kk". Something of
1588 a judgement call, but the rest of the manual uses samp and that
1590 (Merging and keywords): Rewrite, to (a) better motivate the
1591 discussion based on what the user wants to do, (b) fix up lots of
1592 convoluted sentences, (c) move the discussion of the binary files
1593 to the end, that is get across the basic idea first and then
1594 embellish it. Remove a few unnecessary index entries. Expand
1595 example. Just tell people to avoid -kk with binary files (comment
1596 out the discussion of using -A after the commit).
1598 1999-01-29 Derek Price
1599 <http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/resume.html>
1601 * cvs.texinfo: Added new node/section on merging and keywords. It
1602 contains advice on how to avoid RCS keyword conflicts when merging
1603 and avoid corrupting your binary files while doing it.
1605 1999-02-24 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1607 * cvsclient.texi (Request intro): Add paragraph about transmitting
1608 more than one command.
1610 1999-01-29 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1612 * cvs.texinfo: Use EXAMPLE.COM EXAMPLE.ORG and EXAMPLE.NET instead
1613 of domains which might conflict with actual (current or future)
1614 domains. The EXAMPLE domains are registered for this purpose.
1616 1999-01-22 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1618 * cvs.texinfo (Sticky tags): Refer to -j as the better way to undo
1620 (Merging two revisions): Also talk about undoing removals and
1621 adds. Move the index entries to here.
1623 1999-01-21 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1625 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "waiting for USER's lock".
1627 1999-01-16 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1629 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Comment out all the -t/-f documentation,
1630 since that feature is currently disabled.
1632 1999-01-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1634 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Add some more index entries so
1635 that people who want to use SSH and such are slightly less lost.
1637 1999-01-12 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1639 * cvs-paper.ms: Remove comments which contained the FSF's old
1640 address; it has changed.
1642 1998-12-29 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1644 * cvsclient.texi (Dates): Numeric timezones are preferred.
1645 Also mention the Checkin-time request.
1647 1998-12-23 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1649 * RCSFILES: Add clarification about certain character set issues
1650 from Paul Eggert, the RCS maintainer. The last paragraph and the
1651 change from Shift-JIS to JIS as an example of a character set
1652 which contains 0x40 bytes which are not '@' characters are mine;
1653 the rest is directly from Paul Eggert.
1655 1998-12-22 Martin Buchholz <martin@xemacs.org>
1657 * cvs.texinfo: Fixed various trivial typos.
1659 1998-12-17 Jim Kingdon
1661 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Explicitly say that Mod-time need
1662 not be sent for all files.
1664 1998-12-16 Jim Kingdon
1666 Thanks to Ram Rajadhyaksha of the MacCVS Pro team for raising the
1668 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): The deal about storing
1669 files as text files applies to all the CVS/* files, not just
1670 CVS/Entries. State the rationale too.
1671 Document CVSROOT/Emptydir in CVS/Repository.
1672 There is no set order in CVS/Entries.
1673 Explicitly say that writing Entries.Log is optional.
1675 1998-12-03 Jim Kingdon
1677 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "unrecognized auth response".
1678 (Password authentication server): Remove comment about
1679 "unrecognized auth response" and link to the troubleshooting
1682 1998-12-02 Jim Kingdon
1684 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): Add an example.
1686 1998-11-18 Jim Kingdon
1688 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Change "-r tag" to "-r rev". We
1689 already use "tag" as the name of the tag we are adding.
1691 1998-11-13 Jim Kingdon
1693 * cvs.texinfo (CVS commands): Add comment about whether part of
1694 the manual should be organized by command.
1696 1998-11-06 Jim Kingdon
1698 Clean up various confusions between modules and directories:
1699 * cvs.texinfo: In "are you sure you want to release" message,
1700 change module to directory. CVS was changed some time ago.
1701 (Tags): "working copy of the module" -> "working directory".
1702 (Merging two revisions): Remove unnecessary text "that make up a
1704 (Recursive behavior): Change "module" to "directory".
1705 (Removing files): Likewise.
1706 (Tracking sources): Remove "a module" from titles.
1707 (Moving directories): Change "module" to "parent-dir".
1708 (Inside): Remove "of the module".
1709 (Inside): Change "module" to "dir".
1710 (Rename by copying): Change "module" to "dir".
1711 (Rename by copying): Remove "of the module".
1712 (Moving directories): "copy of the module" -> "checked out copy of
1713 the directory"; remove second "of the module". Change "check out
1714 the module" to " check out again".
1715 (Moving directories): Remove "of the module".
1716 (Keyword substitution): "your working copy of a module" -> "a
1718 (CVS commands): Change "module" to "directory".
1719 (release examples): "module" -> "tc directory".
1720 (commitinfo): "relative path to the module" -> "directory in the
1722 (verifymsg): Change "module" to "directory".
1723 (Updating a file): "working copy of a module" -> "working directory".
1725 1998-10-25 Jim Kingdon
1727 * cvs.texinfo (Branches and revisions): Fix error in branch
1728 numbering which was introduced with change of 4 May 1997.
1730 1998-10-20 Jim Kingdon
1732 * cvs.texinfo (Tags): Point to Invoking CVS node so people aren't
1733 left wondering what the syntax is. When introducing -r option,
1734 warn people about sticky tags right off.
1735 (Tagging the working directory, Tagging by date/tag, Modifying
1736 tags, Tagging add/remove): New sections.
1737 (Invoking CVS): Adjust tag and rtag to point to the new sections,
1738 and to add tag -c which had been omitted. Delete tag -n; there is
1740 (rtag, tag): Removed; no longer needed.
1741 (commit examples): Update xref.
1743 1998-10-15 Jim Kingdon
1745 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): It is OK to send Set before Root.
1747 1998-10-13 Jim Kingdon
1749 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Remove item about "cvs update"
1750 sending modified files to the server; there are some better ideas
1751 at http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/dev-update.txt
1752 Add mention of www.cyclic.com.
1754 1998-09-30 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1756 * cvs.texinfo (Committing your changes, Environment variables):
1759 1998-09-27 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1761 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Say explicitly
1762 that you edit passwd directly, many users get confused by this.
1764 1998-09-24 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1766 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via fork): :fork: may be of interest to
1767 users, for example those who prefer CVS to prompt for one log
1768 message per checkin, rather than one per directory.
1769 (Connecting via fork): Document CVS_SERVER.
1771 1998-09-24 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1773 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via fork): new node about the fork
1776 1998-09-22 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1778 * cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Document
1779 CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT in the CVS 1.10 context.
1780 (Moving a repository): Update comments concerning surgery on
1781 CVS/Root and CVS/Repository files.
1783 1998-09-21 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1785 * cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): remove information about
1786 CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT, since it's no longer used.
1788 1998-09-21 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1790 * cvs.texinfo (config): Mention that CVS 1.10 doesn't have
1793 1998-09-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1795 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Describe $Name and checking out with
1798 1998-09-16 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1800 * cvs.texinfo: RFC2346 is out; update comment.
1802 1998-09-13 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1804 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword list, Substitution modes): In describing
1805 $Locker and -kkvl, refer to cvs admin -l.
1807 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Re-word description of Sticky to
1808 allow room for "Ntagname" (or other, future, values).
1810 * cvs.texinfo (tag): Remove confusing wording about supplying
1811 revision numbers "implicitly".
1813 1998-09-10 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1815 * cvs.texinfo (rdiff options): Thanks to the diff library, -u is
1816 supported regardless of your diff program.
1818 1998-09-07 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1820 * cvs.texinfo (config): Add LockDir.
1822 1998-09-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1824 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): "Directory" and "Argument" are
1825 requests, not commands. Likewise for "other-request". A command,
1826 roughly, is a request that uses "Argument"s, but we might want to
1827 phase out the use of that term more so than codify it, I'm not sure.
1829 1998-09-01 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1831 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): added a detailed explanation of the
1832 Directory request and how it is handled, both for pre-1.10 and
1835 1998-09-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1837 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): Also describe the CVS 1.10
1838 behavior. Looking at a mismatched version of the manual seems to
1839 be a reasonably common occurrence.
1841 * cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Revert change regarding
1842 CVS_SERVER_SLEEP*; having that kind of debugging code in the main
1843 CVS is getting out of hand.
1845 1998-09-01 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1847 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): brief mention that cvs now
1848 handles a working directory composed of multiple repositories.
1849 (Environment variables): add note about CVS_SERVER_SLEEP2.
1851 1998-08-21 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
1853 * cvsclient.texi (Text tags): Document importmergecmd tag.
1855 1998-08-20 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1857 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Replace out of date URL concerning
1858 ISO8601 dates with a more general statement and a few comments.
1860 1998-08-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1862 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add "Checkin-time" request.
1864 Sun Jul 26 02:42:20 1998 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1866 * cvs.texinfo (config): TopLevelAdmin variable.
1868 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): fix typo.
1870 1998-07-14 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1872 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): "remove" is like "add" in the sense
1873 that it is the "ci" request which does most of the work.
1875 1998-06-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1877 * cvs.texinfo (Excluding directories): Fix order of
1878 "!first-dir/sdir" and "first-dir" to match what CVS actually
1879 accepts. Reported by Tim McIntosh of sterling.com.
1881 1998-06-09 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1883 * cvs.texinfo (Using keywords): Rewrite to be less specific to
1884 source code in C. The old text was worse than that; it was
1885 specific to certain versions of GCC (not even current GCC's, I
1886 don't think) (reported most recently by Mitchell Perilstein;
1887 if memory serves by others before that).
1889 1998-06-08 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1891 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): Also mention #cvs.lock. Don't
1892 mention #cvs.tfl; it is quite old (before CVS 1.5).
1893 (Locks, Backing up, Concurrency): Add more index entries.
1895 1998-06-03 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
1897 * cvs.texinfo (Tracking sources): Clarify that the vendor branch
1898 is only made the head revision when you import a new file, not any
1899 time you import a file.
1901 1998-05-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1903 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): info-cvs-request is now at gnu.org
1904 and is no longer handled by a human (hallelujah).
1906 1998-05-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@ascend.com>
1908 * cvs.texinfo: Add an info dir entry.
1909 Remove trailing white space.
1911 1998-05-05 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1913 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Be more explicit that -m 'COPY' has no
1914 effect on binary files.
1916 1998-05-02 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1918 * RCSFILES: Add more discussion of the order of the revisions.
1920 1998-04-27 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1922 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo example): Also give example of sending
1923 mail. Use internal variable $USER rather than expecting CVS to
1924 set the environment variable $USER. Change unnecessary 'sed'
1925 invocation to 'cat' (it suffered from the same problem in terms of
1926 internal variables versus environment variables).
1928 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "conflict: removed FILE was
1929 modified by second party".
1931 1998-04-20 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1933 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Update comment about meaning of
1936 1998-04-12 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1938 * cvsclient.texi (Dates): Also mention log -d.
1940 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): No space is allowed between -r or -w
1941 and its argument, for the log command.
1943 1998-04-11 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1945 * cvsclient.texi (Dates): New section, explaining the deal with
1948 1998-04-09 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1950 * cvs.texinfo (Global options, Invoking CVS): Fix typo
1951 ("files files" -> "files").
1952 (Invoking CVS): Make -q and -Q more concise.
1953 (Invoking CVS): Use @var for metavariables in "diff -r".
1955 1998-03-17 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1957 * cvs.texinfo (~/.cvsrc): In example, put "checkout" rather than
1958 "co" into .cvsrc; we just finished explaining that only the former
1959 works! Thanks to Lenny Foner for reporting this.
1961 * cvs.texinfo (Copying): Remove this node. This basically
1962 restores the status quo prior to 18 Oct 1996 (before then the node
1963 existed but was empty).
1964 (before Top): Adjust copyright notice accordingly.
1966 1998-03-12 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1968 * RCSFILES: Updated description of `hardlinks' newphrases.
1970 1998-03-07 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1972 * cvs.texinfo (Tags, Sticky tags, Creating a branch, Accessing
1973 branches): Rename release-0-1 tag to rel-0-1 and likewise for
1974 release-0-1-patches and release-0-4. This fixes an overfull hbox.
1975 (diff options): Reformat table to fix underfull hboxes and such.
1977 1998-03-07 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1979 * cvs.texinfo (Editing files, Special Files): Document hardlinks.
1980 Various cleanups to PreservePermissions text.
1981 * RCSFILES: Document PreservePermissions newphrases.
1983 1998-03-04 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1985 * cvs.texinfo (Special Files): Add notes about client/server CVS
1986 and hard links across directories.
1988 1998-03-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1990 * cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): The magic loginfo
1991 incantation isn't too likely to work except on unix.
1993 1998-02-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1995 * cvs.texinfo (user-defined logging): Double "@" literal.
1997 1998-02-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1999 * cvs.texinfo (user-defined logging): Add taginfo example.
2001 1998-02-04 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>

2004 (Special Files): New.

2011 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol): Fix typo (lots -> lost).
2013 Sun Feb 8 21:39:22 1998 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2015 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): For admin -b, point to the section
2016 where we talk about reverting to vendor branch.
2018 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS, rdiff options): Document rdiff -V
2019 option as obsolete, since it was made a fatal error some time ago.
2021 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Add global options, keywords, and
2022 keyword substitution modes. Wording fix in reference to --help
2025 Wed Jan 28 23:09:39 1998 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2027 * cvs.texinfo (Excluding directories): Add index entry for "!".
2029 28 Jan 1998 Karl Fogel and Jim Kingdon
2031 * cvsclient.texi (Requests, Responses): document
2032 "wrapper-sendme-rcsOptions" and "Wrapper-rcsOption".

2050 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "Too many arguments!".
2052 Fri Dec 26 18:30:26 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2054 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Just point to the two canonical web
2055 sites (Pascal Molli and Cyclic) concerning CVS downloads. The GNU
2056 URL was out of date and GNU only has source distributions anyway.
2058 * cvs.texinfo: Change bug-cvs address to gnu.org per email from
2061 Tue Dec 23 18:04:09 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2063 * cvs.texinfo (Sticky tags): Further cleanups. Fix thinko
2064 (s/subsequent cvs update/& commands/). Remove "vi driver.c" and
2065 commit from example (totally vestigial). Reword start of
2066 paragraph on non-branch sticky tags, so that it better alludes
2067 to branch sticky tags. When introducing sticky tags, make it
2068 clear that even people who aren't trying to use sticky tags
2069 may need to know how to avoid them. Restore comment about
2071 (Accessing branches): Don't xref to merging here; that is a much
2072 more advanced topic and the "but see" wording didn't tell us what
2073 to see the xref about.
2075 Tue Dec 23 14:39:08 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2078 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a branch): Rewritten. Introduce with
2079 `tag', then discuss `rtag' and `-r'.
2081 Tue Dec 23 10:03:37 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2084 * cvs.texinfo: Changes to dehairify the "Sticky tags" situation:
2085 (Revisions): "Sticky tags" moved here, description in menu changed
2086 to be a little more informative.
2087 (Sticky tags): Moved from "Branching and merging" to "Revisions".
2088 (Accessing branches): New node in "Branching and merging",
2089 explains how to use checkout vs update to retrieve a branch.
2090 Text and example inherited from "Sticky tags", but text mostly
2092 (Sticky tags): Moved under "Revisions", rewritten somewhat (more
2093 rewrites to follow).
2094 Don't use "-v" in "cvs status" example.
2096 Mon Dec 22 11:46:05 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2099 Cleanups related to recent separation of revisions from
2101 * cvs.texinfo (Revisions): Take paragraph introducing branches,
2102 rewrite it and move it to "Branching and merging".
2103 (Branching and merging): Also rewrite merging intro.
2104 (Revision numbers): Don't go into detail about branch revision
2105 numbers here, just mention that they happen and refer to new
2106 node "Branches and revisions".

2108 inherits text from "Revision numbers".
2109 (Creating a branch): Refer to "Branches and revisions" now, not
2111 (Binary why): Rewrite sentence which refers to merging, so that
2112 it isn't specific to branch merging.
2113 (Branches motivation): Fix typo (select -> elect). Add comment
2114 about what this node is accomplishing, in general.
2116 Sun Dec 21 20:57:24 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2119 This is just moving text; related cleanups to follow.
2120 * cvs.texinfo: Changes to put branching and merging together, and
2121 keep it all separate from revisions:
2122 (Revisions): Renamed from "Revisions and branches".
2123 (Branching and merging): Renamed from "Merging".
2124 (Branches motivation, Creating a branch, Sticky tags, Magic branch
2125 numbers): these subnodes moved to "Branching and merging" from
2127 everywhere: Adjusted cross-references to cope with above.
2129 Sun Dec 21 20:36:39 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2132 Note that this is just moving text, not changing it:
2133 * cvs.texinfo: divide top-level menu into sections.

2165 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): State that
2166 GSSAPI is preferred to kserver. Try to be clearer about what
2167 the term "pserver" means. Introduce GSSAPI and cite the relevant
2168 RFCs. Discuss the limitations of the existing features in
2169 preventing hijacking.
2171 * cvs.texinfo (GSSAPI authenticated, Kerberos authenticated):
2172 Briefly introduce what GSSAPI and Kerberos are. Be slightly more
2173 emphatic about protecting against downgrade attacks.

2233 different meaning than most.
2235 Wed Nov 12 21:57:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2237 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions, Connecting via rsh, Environment
2238 variables): When putting an environment variable in the index, say
2239 it is an environment variable. Don't index the same name twice.
2241 * cvs.texinfo: Many edits to reflect the fact that CVS no longer
2242 invokes external RCS programs.
2244 Tue Nov 11 15:15:49 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2246 * cvs.texinfo (Locks, CVS in repository): New nodes, document the

2254 Sat Nov 8 09:49:38 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2256 * cvs.texinfo (Binary why): Try to be a little clearer about how
2257 merges fit into CVS. Say it may be error prone to have developers
2258 doing merges manually.

2288 has 2 or 3 fields; /user -> /usr; noone -> no one; in used -> in
2289 use). Add comment about making compilers happy about rcsids.

2501 * cvs.texinfo (A sample session): Nuke index entry for "A sample

2507 concerning unknown -x option.

2676 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Add "E" and
2677 "error" as responses in authentication protocol. The server

2810 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword substitution): Where it refers to RCS
2811 having a certain behavior, rewrite to not pass the buck like
2812 that. Saying "RCS file" is still OK; that is a legit CVS
2813 concept. A few other minor edits.

2830 writing triggers and particularly performance issues.
2832 * cvs.texinfo (rtag options, tag options): Don't discuss what old

2834 don't try to document old versions here. Add comments concerning
2835 how -F should be documented. Add index entries for "renaming
2836 tags" and such pointing to "tag -F".

2875 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about "D" lines in
2878 * cvs.texinfo (CVS commands, diff): Change "run diffs" to "show
2879 differences"; the former is jargon.
2880 (CVS commands): Don't refer to "rlog" in describing what log does.
2882 * Makefile.in (cvsclient.dvi cvsclient.aux): Run texi2dvi rather
2883 than (poorly) emulating it ourself.
2885 Fix overfull and underfull hboxes:
2886 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Add words "the newsgroup" before
2887 "comp.sources.unix".
2888 (Credits): Put list of people in @display.
2889 (Repository files): Put /usr/local/cvsroot in @example.
2890 (Connecting via rsh): Change "anklet" to "toe" in example.
2891 (Kerberos authenticated, Password authentication client, Password
2892 authentication server): Change "brickyard" to "yard" in example.
2893 (Read-only access): Use @example and refer to files with a shorter
2895 (Server temporary directory): Use @example for pathname.
2896 (Watches Compatibility): Add phony line break.
2897 (Revision numbers): Remove revision 1.2.2.2 and tighten up the
2898 spacing for "the main trunk".
2899 (Tags, Creating a branch): Change /usr/local/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot.
2900 (Merging more than once): Tighten up spacing for "the main trunk".
2901 (Recursive behavior): Put long command in @example.
2902 (First import): Remove word "called".
2903 (Common options): Put long URL in @example.
2904 (loginfo example): Use fewer hyphens in example.
2905 (Variables): Put long command name in @example.
2906 (Copying): Add line break.
2907 (Administrative files): Remove "the" from title.
2908 (Copying): Change "@unnumberedsec" to two "@heading"s.
2909 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Change /home/kingdon/zwork/cvsroot to
2911 (Example): Add word "file".
2912 (Example): Change line breaks in example log message.
2913 (Example): Change /home/kingdon/testing/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot.
2915 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Don't refer to appendix A and B, they
2916 have been renumbered. Reword so that it works whether the text in
2917 question has since been rewritten or not.
2919 * cvs.texinfo (BUGS): Rewrite to reflect the many different ways
2920 that one might want to handle bugs. Move information on Signum
2921 and Cyclic from Preface to here. Remove information on known
2922 deficiencies in the manual (some of them I'm not sure were really
2923 things in need of improvement; others were too general to be
2924 useful). For the most part FIXME comments are probably better for
2925 this. Remove "Linkoping, October 1993, Per Cederqvist"--many
2926 parts of the manual are now from other people, dates, and places.
2927 (What is CVS): For the most part, just refer to BUGS concerning
2928 bug-cvs. Also tell people how to subscribe to bug-cvs.
2929 (Credits): Say that list is not comprehensive and refer to
2932 Sat May 3 10:51:58 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2934 * cvs.texinfo (rcsinfo): Add comment about checkoutlist and
2937 * cvs.texinfo (Server temporary directory): New node.
2939 * cvs.texinfo (Backing up): New node.
2941 * cvs.texinfo (Repository): Be more explicit about the repository
2942 and the working directory not being subdirectories of each other.
2944 Mon Apr 28 11:12:56 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2946 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Use "*.c" not "?.c" in example;
2947 the former should be good for both unix and DOS-like operating
2948 systems. Document -f option. Refer to Invoking CVS for a full
2949 list of options. Add a few comments.
2951 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): For checkout and update, call them
2952 "sticky options" not "sticky kopts".
2954 * cvs.texinfo (Editing files): Add additional comments on get
2957 Sun Apr 27 16:17:06 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2959 * cvs.texinfo (commit): Only document the current flags (where -f
2960 is force and -F file gets the message from a log file). We had
2961 partly made this change on 9 Feb 1997, but some places got missed.
2963 * RCSFILES: Add discussion of the common concern regarding
2964 applying deltas to get to a branch head.
2966 * DIFFUTILS-2.7-BUG: New file.
2968 * cvs.texinfo (File status): Refer to "Invoking CVS", not
2969 "status", for status options. Add paragraph about how "cvs -n -q
2970 update" is another way to display file status.
2971 (update examples): Removed; it had contained the "cvs -n -q
2973 (Invoking CVS): xref to "File status" and "Tags", not "status" and
2975 (status, status options): Removed.
2976 (update options, checkout options): xref to "Invoking CVS"
2979 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify how long-lived Sticky and
2980 Static-directory are.
2982 * cvs.texinfo: Add @finalout.
2984 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "cannot change permissions on
2985 temporary directory" message.
2987 Wed Apr 23 12:53:45 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2989 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Document "add" in much more detail.
2991 Wed Apr 23 00:38:17 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
2993 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Correct small typo (`a' for `as').
2995 Tue Apr 22 14:23:32 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2997 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Expand ideas on multisite
2998 features somewhat. Add items about the network turnarounds for
2999 pserver authentication and for protocol negotiation.
3001 Mon Apr 21 08:54:48 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3003 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Describe what to do
3004 with Entries.Log in more detail.
3006 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Say "CVS 1.9 and earlier" rather
3007 than "pre version 1.10". The latter increases confusion by
3008 referring to a version which doesn't exist yet.
3010 Mon Apr 21 01:02:53 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3012 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Document Rcs-diff. Indicate that
3013 Patched is now deprecated in favor of Rcs-diff.
3015 Sun Apr 20 23:42:03 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3017 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Add note about format
3018 of timestamp and the "Result of merge" concept.
3020 Sat Apr 19 13:42:33 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3022 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): It is OK for Copy-file to implement
3023 a rename instead of a copy.
3025 Fri Apr 18 12:05:48 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3027 * cvs.texinfo (Assigning revisions): Say that -r implies -f.
3029 Thu Apr 17 16:34:14 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3031 * cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): Add comment
3032 about CMZ and PATCHY.
3034 Wed Apr 16 12:35:25 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3036 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Add paragraph describing how
3037 Copy-file relates to Merged.
3038 (Responses): Add paragraph about how it is the server which
3039 worries about not clobbering the user's file.
3041 Tue Apr 15 00:57:31 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3043 * RCSFILES: Add notes on keyword expansion.
3045 * cvs.texinfo (Rename by copying): Comment out seemingly erroneous
3046 text regarding the revision number that the new file starts with.
3048 Mon Apr 14 12:37:35 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3050 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clients should try to send
3051 notifications right away.
3053 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): For Notify request, clarify a few
3054 future expansion situations. Specify the format of the time.
3056 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify that arguments to co, rdiff,
3057 and rtag are module names (and how that differs from file/directory
3060 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Say that servers need to create
3061 directories one at a time.
3063 Sat Apr 12 09:32:58 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3065 * cvs.texinfo (Committing your changes): Say that editor default
3066 is notepad (not vi) for Windows NT/95. Be more clear about what
3067 "cvs commit" does. Add paragraph about timestamps.
3068 (Environment variables, Global options, editinfo):
3069 Add xrefs to that node.
3071 Thu Apr 10 15:48:39 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3073 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "could not patch; will refetch".
3075 Wed Apr 9 15:21:11 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3077 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): New node.
3079 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add comment about "cvs co ." on
3082 Tue Apr 8 14:44:26 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3084 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add diff3 usage message.
3086 Sun Apr 6 19:03:01 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3088 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Add comment about undoing a "cvs
3091 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Explicitly mention the idea of
3092 deferring "Notify" requests.
3094 Tue Apr 1 07:51:38 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3096 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Add paragraph about directory
3097 creation and empty directories.
3099 * cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add comment about binary files and
3102 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add discussion of when to send
3105 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Sending Is-modified is enough to
3106 prevent the file from being considered "lost".
3108 Sun Mar 30 00:31:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3110 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add Is-modified request. Clarify
3111 order of Entry relative to Unchanged or Is-modified (might as well
3112 specify the same thing vis-a-vis Modified while we are at it).
3114 Sat Mar 29 12:32:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3116 * cvsclient.texi: Change "newline" to "linefeed". Most of the
3117 document already reads "linefeed" and that is what is intended.
3118 (File transmissions): New node, moved here from Requests.
3119 (Goals, Filenames, File transmissions, new node Strings): Add
3120 discussion of character sets and what we expect from the transport
3123 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add paragraph about each Directory
3124 request specifying a new local-directory and repository.
3126 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add paragraph about renaming
3127 local-directory in Directory request. Use "local-directory"
3128 consistently instead of "working directory", for clarity.
3130 Fri Mar 28 13:59:59 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3132 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Make it clear that there is no
3133 guarantee that one will get Clear-sticky instead of another
3134 response. Also clarify that clients will tend to store the
3135 repository in a long-term way.
3137 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Further clarify Directory example.
3139 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add example and further explanation
3140 of what expand-modules is for.
3142 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add example, hopefully making it
3143 clearer what REPOSITORY and LOCAL-DIRECTORY mean to Directory.
3145 * cvs.texinfo (Attic): New node.
3146 (rtag options): Adjust discussion of -a accordingly.
3147 (Repository files): Adjust accordingly.
3149 Thu Mar 27 09:57:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3151 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Give exact wording of broken pipe
3154 * cvs.texinfo (history database): Add comment about various
3155 problems with the history file.
3157 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): The ISO8601 web page we had
3158 mentioned in a comment is no more. Replace it with a new one.
3160 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): "cvs history" also outputs dates.
3162 Wed Mar 26 10:54:21 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3164 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): "cvs editors" also outputs dates.
3166 * cvs.texinfo (Outside): Fix paragraph which said that revision
3167 numbers start at 1.0. First of all, it is 1.1. Second of all, it
3168 is sometimes 2.1, 3.1, etc. Third of all, the xref should be to
3169 Assigning revisions not commit options.
3171 * cvs.texinfo (Outside): Comment out sentence which incorrectly
3172 stated that "cvs add" can operate on "foo/bar.c".
3174 Tue Mar 25 22:21:29 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3176 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): New node.
3177 (Magic branch numbers): Move from Troubleshooting to Revisions and
3178 branches. The former placement never made any sense to me.
3179 (Revision numbers): Remove "Main trunk (intro)" index entry now
3180 that this node is right next to the other "main trunk" index
3182 (BUGS): Very briefly mention reporting bugs in CVS.
3184 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about "Nfoo" in CVS/Tag.
3186 Mon Mar 24 13:50:24 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3188 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a branch): Add comment about -r in branch
3191 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Discuss meaning of tagspec and
3192 future expansion in Set-sticky. The behavior described is the one
3193 which CVS has always implemented.
3195 Fri Mar 21 14:19:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3197 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Revise meaning of "Case" per change
3200 Tue Mar 18 15:50:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3202 The following reorganization hopefully presents numeric revisions
3203 in a slightly more coherent fashion. The only new material is the
3204 paragraph about assigning revisions for added files.
3205 * cvs.texinfo (A sample session): Bring in a sentence from Basic
3206 concepts node, defining a repository.
3207 (Revisions and branches): Renamed from Branches (it has always
3208 covered non-branch tags too). Bring in nodes "Revision numbers" and
3209 "Versions revisions releases" from Basic concepts, the former in
3210 particular was way too detailed for an intro section.
3211 (A sample session): Add comment about how we need an introduction
3212 and what might go into one. Also bring in the paragraph from
3213 Basic concepts introducing modules, but comment it out.
3214 (Viewing differences): Add comment about
3215 (Basic concepts): Removed; its content has been farmed out as
3216 described above, and as the comment said, it was fundamentally
3218 (Assigning revisions): New node. Incorporates the "New major
3219 release number" subsubsec which was in "commit examples". Add
3220 paragraph concerning how CVS assigns revisions on added files.
3221 (commit options): Refer to that node under -r.
3222 (Invoking CVS): Add comment about text for -r.
3224 Tue Mar 18 13:04:30 1997 Jim Meyering <meyering@totoro.cyclic.com>
3226 * Makefile.in: (install-info): Depend on installdirs.
3228 Sun Mar 16 12:37:12 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3230 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): CVSUMASK now works for RCS
3231 files; but it is (still) awkward for client/server CVS.
3233 Sat Mar 15 17:41:12 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3235 * cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Add comment about where this
3238 Thu Mar 13 09:11:36 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3240 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Fix grammatical mistake ("manual about"
3241 -> "manual is about"). Reported by Philippe De Muyter.
3243 Sun Mar 9 09:06:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3245 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Add comment about val-tags and
3248 Sun Mar 2 12:33:26 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3250 * cvs.texinfo (From scratch): Add comment about creating
3251 directories with add rather than import.
3253 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Add comment about how this
3254 somewhat duplicates Server requirements.
3256 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Add comment about rsh
3257 vs. remsh. Also wording fix ("incorrect" -> "inapplicable").
3259 * cvs.texinfo (Outside): Add comment about renames and annotate.
3261 * cvs.texinfo (Server requirements): New node.
3263 Thu Feb 27 15:20:49 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3265 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Reword section on "cvs admin
3266 -l". As nearly as I can tell based on when it came up on info-cvs
3267 and other contexts, people who are into reserved checkouts
3268 generally find that cvs admin -l is OK. Add a bunch more notes
3269 (inside @ignore) about reserved checkout implementation ideas.
3271 Sun Feb 23 16:12:03 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3273 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add various additional comments
3276 * RCSFILES: Remove diff for Id and explain it in words instead.
3277 The previous values for Id had been clobbered by keyword expansion
3278 on the RCSFILES file itself.
3280 Sat Feb 22 14:16:28 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3282 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Fix typo (missing backslash).
3284 Fri Feb 21 23:08:38 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3286 * RCSFILES: New file.
3287 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Add RCSFILES.
3289 20 Feb 1997 Lenny Foner <foner@media.mit.edu>
3291 * cvs.texinfo (Checklist): Fix typo ("keword" -> "keyword").
3293 Thu Feb 20 21:57:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3295 * cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): Add "web" to index.
3297 Wed Feb 12 18:44:16 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3299 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication client, Invoking CVS):
3300 Document "cvs logout" command.
3302 Tue Feb 11 20:42:45 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3304 * cvs.texinfo (commit options): Document that the -f option to
3305 commit disables recursion.
3307 Sun Feb 9 13:58:59 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3309 * cvs.texinfo (diff options): Document all the options we pass
3310 through to diff. Remove paragraph about -D sometimes meaning
3311 --ifdef since that is no longer true.
3313 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Add lengthy comment about
3314 reserved checkout design issues.
3316 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add paragraph about timestamps.
3318 * cvs.texinfo (commit options): Don't try to document what CVS 1.3
3319 does with -f and how recent versions differ: 1.3 is pretty old
3320 anyway, we generally only try to document the current version, and
3321 the way it was described here was pretty confusing.
3322 (Environment variables): Likewise for CVSEDITOR.
3324 * cvs.texinfo (import output): Add index entries for symbolic
3325 links. Add brief mention of whether behavior should be
3326 different. Add comments on other symbolic link issues.
3328 Wed Feb 5 13:02:37 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3330 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): Add comment about commit/commit
3333 Mon Feb 3 10:55:41 1997 joel boutros <nihilis@moral.addiction.com>
3335 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Fix typo (programs -> problems).
3337 Fri Jan 31 12:18:47 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3339 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Correct typo
3340 (``sent'' for ``send''), and rewrite sentence for clarity.
3342 Fri Jan 24 10:31:57 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3344 * cvs.texinfo (File status): Change "Unresolved Conflict" to "File
3345 had conflicts on merge" per change to CVS.
3347 Sun Jan 19 16:21:17 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3349 * cvs.texinfo (admin): Add comments about "group" and "compiled in
3350 value". At least one info-cvs poster was confused by this.
3352 Thu Jan 16 17:54:51 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3354 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): It is just -t/-f which doesn't work
3355 client/server. -k *does* (well, except for the problem with
3356 import noted in BUGS). -m I don't know and I doubt anyone cares.
3358 Mon Jan 13 15:41:02 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@ynu38.ynu.edu.cn>
3360 * cvs.texinfo (Read-only access): rephrase to imply that there may
3361 be other administrative files, besides history and locks, which
3362 read-only users can also affect (in the future, for example, the
3365 Wed Jan 8 14:50:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3367 * Makefile.in: Remove CVSid; we decided to get rid
3368 of these some time ago.
3370 Wed Jan 8 09:08:36 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3372 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Document
3373 restriction that cvs root sent in the cvs protocol and in the
3374 pserver authentication protocol must be identical.
3376 Thu Jan 2 13:30:56 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3378 * Makefile.in, cvs.texinfo: Remove "675" paragraph;
3379 see ../ChangeLog for rationale.
3381 Thu Jan 2 09:34:51 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@ynu38.ynu.edu.cn>
3383 * cvs.texinfo (Read-only access): new node.
3384 (Repository): new menu item for above new node.
3385 (Password authentication server): document the user-aliasing
3386 feature. Why was this undocumented before?
3388 Wed Jan 1 18:12:11 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3390 * cvs.texinfo (Conflicts example): Use @asis in example to prevent
3391 starting a line with a conflict marker. This means that when
3392 maintaining the file with CVS itself, CVS will not think there is
3393 a conflict merely because of the conflict marker in the example.
3394 IMHO, this is totally bogus and CVS needs a better way of figuring
3395 out whether a conflict is resolved (see comments elsewhere in this
3396 node), but until then.... Credit to Fred Fish for reporting the
3399 * cvs.texinfo (cvsignore): Add paragraph about how .cvsignore
3400 files in the sources being imported by "cvs import" override
3401 "-I !". Credit goes to Fred Fish for pointing out this problem.
3403 Thu Dec 19 12:36:46 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3405 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Update Roland Pesch email address per his
3408 Tue Dec 17 12:57:56 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3410 * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): In example, remove text "and reedit if
3411 necessary"; it was copied from editinfo and doesn't apply here.
3412 Fix syntax of if statement; remove unnecessary attempt at loop;
3413 don't use -n with echo. Add @appendixsec at start of node.
3414 Add note about how verifymsg cannot change log message.
3415 (editinfo): In paragraph saying editinfo is obsolete, fix various
3416 typos and formatting glitches. Mention -e as well as EDITOR.
3417 (editinfo): In saying that editinfo doesn't get consulted with -m,
3418 -F or client/server, recommend verifymsg. Remove comment which
3419 says, in effect, "we need a feature like verifymsg".
3420 (editinfo example): Change "verifymsg" back to "editinfo" here;
3421 the example is of editinfo not verifymsg.
3423 Tue Dec 17 12:45:32 1996 Abe Feldman <feldman@cyclic.com>
3425 * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): New node.
3426 various places: Say that editinfo is obsolete, or refer to
3427 verifymsg instead of editinfo
3429 Wed Dec 11 08:55:26 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3431 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about 1.3 and file death.
3433 * cvs.texinfo (update output, release output): Document "P" as
3436 Tue Dec 10 16:23:40 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3438 * cvs.texinfo (Builds): Change "make" to "implement" and "build";
3439 in this context "make" is ambiguous.
3440 (Builds): Add new URL of mk web page.
3442 Mon Dec 9 11:03:37 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3444 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication client, Environment
3445 variables): Remove mention of CVS_PASSWORD.
3447 Sun Dec 8 22:38:34 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3449 * cvs.texinfo (Repository files): Mention differences between RCS
3450 files in RCS and in CVS.
3451 (Tags): Tag names must start with a letter.
3453 Fri Dec 6 09:08:18 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3455 * cvs.texinfo (syntax): Expand discussion of regular expression
3458 Fri Nov 29 09:06:41 1996 fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish)
3459 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3461 * cvs.texinfo, cvsclient.texi: Make sure @ref and friends are
3462 followed by "," or "." as described in the texinfo manual. This
3463 is a dubious practice as texi2html and texinfo.tex don't require
3464 it, and makeinfo could insert them as needed, but since makeinfo
3465 doesn't do that yet, cope.
3467 * cvs.texinfo (From files): Suggest "diff -r" rather than "ls -R"
3468 as the way to see that the sources seem to have been imported
3470 (Common options): -k is also available with import.
3471 (admin options): Fix typo ("interrested" -> "interested").
3473 Mon Nov 25 10:03:56 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3475 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comments about two digit
3476 years, year 2000, and ambiguous/nonexistent dates.
3478 Sun Nov 24 17:27:24 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3480 * cvs.texinfo (First import): Don't say what the wdiff program we
3481 are using as an example does--that is confusing. Also don't show
3482 untarring it--people might be familiar with cpio, ZIP, VMS BACKUP,
3483 etc., instead of tar.
3485 * cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Update comment about "cvs add -m".
3487 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Remove -H; -H is not a command
3489 (Global options): Also list --help and --version. Don't say that
3490 -H gives a list of commands; it doesn't any more (directly).
3492 * cvs.texinfo: Add comment pointing to paper size web page.
3494 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Rewrite section on date formats.
3495 Executive summary is that RFC822 and ISO8601 are now preferred.
3497 Wed Nov 20 08:39:45 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3499 * cvs.texinfo (Getting Notified): Add paragraph clarifying that
3500 watches happen per user, not per working directory.
3502 Tue Nov 19 09:39:08 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3504 * cvs.texinfo (Tags): Suggest that future special tag names might
3505 start with ".". Fix typo.
3507 * cvs.texinfo (Removing directories): -P is also available with
3509 (Moving directories): Rewrite first paragraph; now says that you
3510 must use -P for the directory to disappear from working
3511 directories. Thanks to Martin Lorentzon
3512 <Martin.Lorentzson@emw.ericsson.se> for reporting this bug.
3513 (various): Where we mention -P, point to Removing directories
3516 Sat Nov 16 18:03:22 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3518 * cvsclient.texi (Example): Rewrite to actually be based on a real
3519 live example (and therefore reflect the way the protocol currently
3520 works). Add comment about formatting of the document itself.
3522 Thu Nov 14 10:22:58 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3524 * cvsclient.texi (Introduction): Use @ref, not @xref, after "see".
3525 (Goals): Rewrite items about locking, about uploading in big
3526 chunks, and about atomicity to be focused more on the protocol
3527 than the current implementation.
3528 (Notes): Remove this node. The attempt to describe the basic
3529 model has pretty much been replaced by the Introduction.
3530 The material about how to start the client is incomplete and
3531 better left to cvs.texinfo. And the item about the lack of
3532 SERVER_FLOWCONTROL is obsolete now that SERVER_FLOWCONTROL is the
3534 (Protocol Notes): Add comment about multisite features.
3535 (Requirements): Use @code for requests and responses.
3537 * cvs.texinfo (Remote repositories): Add a few sentences defining
3538 "client" and "server"; before we had been using the terms without
3541 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Add paragraph about reporting bugs.
3542 Reword and expand comp.software.config-mgmt description (and add
3543 comments about other newsgroup facts). Point people at GNU list
3544 of FTP sites rather than directly at prep.ai.mit.edu.
3546 Wed Nov 6 09:45:08 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3548 * cvs.texinfo (Tracking sources): Add comment regarding added and
3551 Tue Nov 5 14:00:31 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3553 * cvs.texinfo: Rename node "Invoking CVS" to "CVS commands".
3554 Rewrite the intro and comments to reflect addition of the new
3556 (Invoking CVS): New node, a quick summary of each command.
3557 (annotate): Don't list the options; refer to Invoking CVS and
3558 Common options instead.
3560 Sun Nov 3 21:22:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3562 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): New node, moved from ../README.
3564 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about how tar manual
3565 contains documentation for getdate date formats.
3567 Fri Nov 1 14:00:31 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3569 * cvs.texinfo (commit examples): Rewrite "New major release
3570 number" section to tighten up the wording, better motivate the
3571 discussion, and replace the term "rcs revision number" with
3574 Fri Oct 25 07:49:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3576 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): Don't say "a la printf"; the syntax is
3577 only vaguely similar to printf.
3579 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): To get just the repository name, suggest
3580 %{} instead of % "standing alone"; the latter is now an error.
3582 Tue Oct 22 13:08:54 1996 Noel Cragg <noel@gargle.rain.org>
3584 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): add information on the new loginfo format
3585 string specification.
3587 Mon Oct 21 17:33:44 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3589 * cvs.texinfo (Builds): New node.
3590 (What is CVS?): Refer to it.
3592 Sat Oct 19 14:32:21 1996 Jim Meyering <meyering@asic.sc.ti.com>
3593 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3595 * cvs.texinfo (Choosing a model): Wording/grammar fix.
3597 Sat Oct 19 14:32:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3599 * cvsclient.texi (Obsolete): New node.
3600 (Requests): Remove Repository and Lost and adjust Directory,
3601 UseUnchanged, and other places accordingly.
3602 (Required): Directory and Unchanged are now required.
3604 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Don't talk about modules; they are
3605 not relevant in this context.
3606 (Removing directories): New node.
3607 (Common options): Refer to it instead of duplicating information.
3609 Fri Oct 18 11:05:06 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3611 * cvs.texinfo (First import, import): Add paragraph about the fact
3612 that import doesn't modify the directory which it imports from.
3614 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Add paragraph about
3615 resource requirements.
3617 * cvs.texinfo (Copying): Replace empty node with a copy of the GPL.
3619 Thu Oct 17 12:10:55 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3621 * cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Revise comment to more accurately
3622 reflect the functioning/nonfunctioning status of cvs add -m.
3624 * cvs.texinfo (Reverting local changes): New node, somewhat based
3625 on the version of this node from 30 Sep 96 change.
3626 (admin options): Refer to it.
3628 * cvs.texinfo: Reinstate 30 Sep 96 change from A4 to US letter.
3630 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): When telling people how to clean up
3631 locks, tell them to make sure the locks are owned by the person
3632 who has the stale locks.
3633 (update output, release output): Remove text about how CVS doesn't
3634 print "? foo" for directories; CVS has since been changed (see
3635 conflicts-130 in sanity.sh).
3637 Wed Oct 16 15:01:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3639 * cvs.texinfo (history options): Mention new option -x E.
3641 Mon Oct 14 15:21:25 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3643 * cvs.texinfo (Tags): Add paragraph on choosing a convention for
3646 Thu Oct 10 16:05:26 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3648 * cvs.texinfo (modules): Describe what & does.
3650 Mon Oct 7 17:20:11 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3652 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Correct apparent cut and paste
3653 error: refer to the removed file, not the added file.
3655 Tue Oct 1 14:15:33 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3657 * cvs.texinfo: Revert all recent changes (the last unscathed one
3658 is the CVSUMASK one from Sunday). For the most part said changes
3659 are for new features which are not appropriate at this stage of
3660 the release process. None of the changes being reverted need to
3661 go into 1.9, that is for sure.
3663 Mon Sep 30 18:17:34 1996 Greg A. Woods <woods@most.weird.com>
3665 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): add comment asking if we should update.
3666 Add more detail about printing Letter on A4.
3667 Add some comments about internal comments.
3668 (From files): describe "cvs import -b 1" for importing existing
3669 projects onto the main branch.
3670 (First import): add a couple of helpful hints about naming vendor
3671 and release tags, etc., and regularize the examples with this.
3672 (Tracking sources): noted some reasons why you might use vendor
3673 branches with "cvs import".
3674 (Update imports): mention using "update" in place of "checkout" if
3675 you have an existing working directory.
3676 (Binary files in imports): add sub-menu separator comment.
3677 (Tracking sources): new menu entry "Reverting to vendor release".
3678 (Reverting to vendor release): new node to describe reverting
3679 local changes and optionally using patch(1) to move local changes
3681 (Global options): describe -D and -g, as well as DIFFBIN and
3683 (export examples): add one.
3684 (import options): describe the effect of '-b 1'.
3686 Mon Sep 30 08:09:53 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3688 * cvs.texinfo: Adjust comments concerning A4 vs. US letter,
3689 referring to ../README.
3691 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about dates which CVS
3694 Sun Sep 29 11:14:16 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3696 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Don't mention Name twice.
3698 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Expand CVSUMASK stuff a bit.
3699 (Setting a watch, Environment variables, Global options): Update
3700 index entries for "read-only files, and ...".
3702 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): State that Gzip-stream is preferred
3703 to gzip-file-contents. Cite RFC1952/1951 rather than just "gzip".
3704 Say that RFC1950/1951 compression is also known as "zlib".
3706 Sat Sep 28 09:31:45 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3708 * cvs.texinfo (Repository): Move all information about the
3709 internal structure of the repository to User modules node. Rename
3710 it to "Repository storage" ("User modules" wasn't particularly
3711 clear). Mention CVSUMASK. Much clarification and
3713 (Basic concepts): Remove material which duplicates what is now in
3714 Repository. Rewrite paragraph introducing modules.
3716 * cvs.texinfo (Starting a new project): In discussing difficulty
3717 in renaming files, don't refer to "cvs 1.x"--there is no
3718 non-vaporous "cvs 2.x". Reword to reflect that part of the reason
3719 to avoid renames (where possible) is not because of CVS at all, and
3720 to try to give a general impression of how bad CVS issues involved in
3723 Fri Sep 27 04:23:44 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3725 * cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Talk about directories, not modules,
3726 since that is what is meant. Suggest using -kb option to add
3727 rather than running cvs admin after the fact and xref to Binary
3728 files not admin examples. Incorporate information which had been
3729 in "add" node (there was a lot of duplication). Don't document
3730 use of "add" on a directory to take the place of "cvs update -d";
3731 the latter is simpler and more logical.
3732 (add, add options, add examples): Removed.
3733 (release output, release options): Update xrefs accordingly.
3734 (Adding files, Removing files): Mention the fact that adds and
3735 removes are branch-specific.
3736 (Merging adds and removals): New node.
3738 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): When mentioning RCS locks, use the
3739 term reserved checkouts and xref to the place where we discuss
3742 Thu Sep 26 08:26:01 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3744 * cvs.texinfo (log): Add comments about timezones.
3745 (log, Common options): Add index entries for timezone and zone, time.
3747 Wed Sep 25 11:05:30 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3749 * cvs.texinfo (log options): Add xref to where we describe the
3750 date formats that -d accepts.
3751 (Common options): Don't refer to date formats accepted by co(1);
3752 CVS's rules have never been the same. Add long whiny comment
3753 about what a mess date formats are.
3755 Tue Sep 24 11:49:02 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3757 * cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): The RCS file
3758 must not be locked when you copy it to the CVS repository.
3760 * cvs.texinfo (Editing files): Also discuss how to revert in the
3761 non-watch case. Add some index entries.
3763 * cvs.texinfo (update output): Add comment about how we *should*
3764 be handling .# files. Mention fact that it is different under
3765 VMS. Add .# to index.
3767 Fri Sep 20 13:08:33 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3769 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Revise text on reserved
3770 versus unreserved checkouts extensively. Move index entries for
3771 "reserved checkouts" and "RCS-style locking" to here. Add
3772 cross-reference to cvs admin -l. Add new section "Choosing a
3774 (Editing files): Add note about use of the word "checkout".
3776 Tue Sep 17 00:54:57 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3778 * cvs.texinfo (Defining the module): Don't suggest "cvs co
3779 modules"; that depends on a "modules" module being defined which
3780 is not the default which is created by "cvs init". Instead
3781 suggest "cvs co CVSROOT/modules" which should always work.
3783 Tue Sep 17 00:43:49 1996 VaX#n8 <vax@linkdead.paranoia.com>
3784 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3786 * cvs.texinfo (Rename by copying): Suggest "cvs tag -d" on the file
3787 "new", not on everything. Also don't suggest deleting branch tags.
3789 Tue Sep 17 00:34:39 1996 David A. Swierczek <swierczekd@med.ge.com>
3791 * Makefile.in (install-info): Note whether files are in srcdir and
3792 deal with it rather than cd'ing into srcdir.
3794 Mon Sep 16 23:33:36 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3796 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add comment about using wrappers to
3797 compress files in the repository.
3799 * cvs.texinfo (modules): Add comments about how we should be
3800 documenting how -i and friends operate in client/server CVS.
3802 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Describe the need for write
3803 permissions for locks and val-tags.
3805 * cvs.texinfo (commitinfo): Add comment about using commitinfo to
3806 enforce who has access.
3808 Wed Jul 24 17:01:41 1996 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
3809 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3811 * cvs.texinfo (checkout): Refer to "update output" node.
3812 (import): Add new import output node.
3813 (release): Correct release output menu entry (used to be
3814 release options instead).
3815 (update output): Say this is output from checkout as well as
3818 Mon Sep 16 16:18:38 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3820 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Clarify that CVS uses MM/DD/YY dates.
3822 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about what HEAD means.
3824 Mon Sep 16 10:52:04 1996 Norbert Kiesel <nk@col.sw-ley.de>
3826 * cvs.texinfo (Global options): Document global '-T' option.
3828 Sat Sep 14 10:46:58 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3830 * cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): New node.
3832 Fri Sep 13 23:55:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3834 * cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Delete song and dance about
3835 how cvs log can't cope with magic branches because rlog doesn't
3836 know about them; cvs log no longer calls rlog. Delete item about
3837 how you can't specify a symbolic branch to cvs log; that is fixed.
3839 Wed Sep 11 22:48:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3841 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Add comments
3842 regarding port numbers and troubleshooting.
3844 Tue Sep 10 10:36:00 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3846 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Reword text regarding info-cvs,
3847 to avoid overfull hbox.
3849 * cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add comment about further issues
3850 with recovering from failure to use -kb.
3852 * cvs.texinfo (Conflicts example): Describe the "feature" by which
3853 CVS won't check in files with conflicts.
3854 (File status): Expand and revise to document all the possible
3855 statuses from cvs status. Also document "Working revision" and
3856 "Repository revision". Refer to other sections for other aspects
3858 (status options): Refer to other sections as appropriate.
3859 (update output): Refer user to Conflicts example node. Add
3860 comment regarding purging of .# files.
3862 Fri Sep 6 11:47:14 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3864 * cvs.texinfo (Kerberos authenticated): Mention need for
3865 --enable-encryption option in order to use encryption.
3866 (Global options): Likewise, in description of -x option.
3868 Thu Sep 5 14:31:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3870 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Discuss :ext:, :server:, and
3872 (Remote repositories): Mention what default is if no access method
3874 (Environment variables): Don't discuss CVS_RSH at length here;
3875 rely on reference to "Connecting via rsh" node.
3877 Mon Aug 26 15:39:18 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3879 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): When talking about having the
3880 client know the original contents of files, suggest cvs edit as a

3891 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication security): Add comment
3892 about how some of this is not pserver-specific.
3894 Tue Aug 6 16:48:53 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3896 * cvs.texinfo (log, log options): Update for changes to cvs log
3897 now that it no longer invokes rlog.
3899 Thu Jul 25 10:10:16 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3901 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Fix typo (Kerberos-request ->
3904 Wed Jul 24 18:53:13 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3906 * cvs.texinfo (Kerberos authenticated): Change the note that the
3907 Kerberos connection is not encrypted.
3908 (Global options): Add documentation for -x.
3909 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Remove enhancement note about
3910 Kerberos encryption.
3911 (Requests): Add documentation for Kerberos-encrypt request.
3913 Thu Jul 18 18:27:40 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3915 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Mention need to be able to
3916 create lock files in the repository.
3918 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): In F response, make at least a
3919 minimal attempt to define "flush".
3921 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Document -k.
3922 (From files, Binary files in imports): Say that imports can deal
3923 with binary files and refer to Wrappers node for details.
3924 (Binary files): Likewise for imports and adds.
3926 Sat Jul 13 18:29:10 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

4109 methods; fix pserver info.

4114 more accurately where we put temporary files.
4116 * cvs.texinfo (From files): Say directory tree instead of module

4370 so NEXTSTEP centric. The wrappers code has alot of other
