1139 Correct typography in many index entries (English phrases should
1140 have initial caps, subcommands/files/etc. should be as-is).
1142 2000-01-10 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1144 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): correctly describe CVSROOT/loginfo's
1145 %-expansion behavior. Thanks to Karl Heinz Marbaise

1158 * cvs.texinfo: document new -C option to update, now that it works
1159 both remotely and locally.
1160 (Re-applied by Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>.)
1162 1999-12-11 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1164 * Revert previous change -- it doesn't work remotely yet.
1166 1999-12-10 John P Cavanaugh <cavanaug@sr.hp.com>
1168 * cvs.texinfo: document new -C option to update.
1169 (Applied by Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>.)

1173 * cvs.texinfo(history options): Document -f, -n, and -z.
1175 1999-11-09 Jim Kingdon <http://developer.redhat.com/>
1177 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Document the arguments to "log", now
1178 that I've changed log.c to be more specific in terms of what it
1181 1999-11-05 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1183 * cvs.texinfo: Revert Karl's change once again since the code is now
1184 fixed. Add "Variables" and "User variables" to index.
1186 1999-11-04 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1188 * log.c (log_usage): Revert Jim Kingdon's reversion of my change
1189 of 1999-11-03. Allowing a space between option and argument
1190 results in lossage; here is a reproduction recipe: run this from
1191 the top of a remote copy of the cvs source tree
1193 cvs log -d '>1999-03-01' > log-out.with-space
1195 and then run this (note there's no space after -d now):
1197 cvs log -d'>1999-03-01' > log-out.no-space
1199 The resulting files differ; furthermore, a glance at the output of
1200 cvs shows that the first command failed to recurse into
1201 subdirectories. Until this misbehavior can be fixed in the source
1202 code, the documentation should reflect the true state of affairs:
1203 if one simply omits the space, everything works fine.
1205 1999-11-04 Jim Kingdon <http://developer.redhat.com/>
1207 * cvs.texinfo (log options): Revert Karl's change regarding -d and
1208 -s. A space is allowed (see sanity.sh for example).

1211 file is "passwd" not "password".
1213 * cvsclient.texi (Top): Add @dircategory and @direntry.
1215 1999-11-04 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1217 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server, Password

1223 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): correct documentation for -d and -s
1224 options (as did elsewhere, earlier today).
1226 1999-11-03 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1228 * cvs.texinfo (Setting a watch): describe `watch off' behavior
1231 1999-11-03 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1233 * cvs.texinfo (log options): correct documentation for -d and -s
1234 options. There can be no space between these options and their
1237 Also, make sure all @sc{cvs} codes refer to "cvs" in lower case;
1238 this avoids makeinfo warnings. And use @code for the CVSEDITOR
1239 environment variable, not @sc.
1241 1999-09-24 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1243 * cvs.texinfo: Misc. formatting cleanups.
1245 1999-07-16 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1247 * cvs.texinfo (admin): Mention admin -k exception. Add cvsadmin
1250 1999-07-14 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1252 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Note inetd limits
1253 and suggest using shell script to avoid.
1255 1999-06-01 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1257 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): For the import command, the
1258 repository given to the Directory requests is ignored.
1260 1999-05-27 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1262 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify that Modified, Is-modified,
1263 Notify and Unchanged must specify a file within the current
1266 1999-05-24 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1268 * cvs.texinfo (checkoutlist): New node, contains more complete
1269 documentation of this feature.
1270 (CVSROOT storage): Refer to the new node when mentioning
1272 (Administrative files): Update the menu entry for Wrappers.
1274 1999-05-17 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1276 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): For Notify request, strike duplicate
1277 "Response expected: no" and fix "a edit" -> "an edit".
1279 1999-05-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1281 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Try to be more clear
1282 about the conflict field.
1284 1999-05-11 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1286 * cvs.texinfo (config): Use comma after @xref (thanks to Pavel
1287 Roskin for the report/fix).
1289 1999-05-10 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1291 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Document restrictions on characters
1294 1999-05-04 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1296 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication security): Remove sentence
1297 about how no one has audited pserver for holes; a lot of holes
1298 have been closed, looking for, &c, since that was written.
1299 In the summary, reword to reflect the fact that sniffing a
1300 readonly password does not imply general system access (as far as
1303 * cvs.texinfo (Connection): Also suggest inetd -d.
1305 1999-04-28 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1307 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Say what goes in the "watches" field
1308 of the "Notify" request.
1310 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): -r is for branches too.
1312 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "no such tag" message.
1313 (Common options): -f does not override val-tags check.
1315 1999-04-26 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1317 * cvs.texinfo (Locks): #cvs.rfl locks must start with "#cvs.rfl."
1318 not just "#cvs.rfl". As far as I know CVS has always implemented
1319 the former behavior, and this just fixes the documentation.
1321 1999-04-23 Yoshiki Hayashi of u-tokyo.ac.jp
1323 * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): Correct wrong file name (bugid.edit ->
1326 1999-04-22 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1328 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): The text in the "M" response is not
1329 designed for machine parsing. Likewise for "error" in regular
1330 protocol. Likewise for "E" and "error" in authentication protocol.
1332 1999-04-19 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1334 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "Cannot check out files into
1335 the repository itself".
1337 1999-04-16 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1339 * cvs.texinfo (Other problems): Add the Windows problem with home
1340 directory ending in a slash.
1342 1999-04-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1344 * cvs.texinfo (CVS in repository): Include the format of the
1345 fileattr file here, rather than referring to the CVS source code.
1347 1999-04-09 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1349 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Whether the timestamp
1350 in CVS/Entries is local or universal actually depends on the system.
1352 1999-04-05 Derek Price
1353 <http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/resume.html>
1355 * cvs.texinfo (export options): Remove notation that the -r
1356 tag is sticky. 'cvs export' doesn't store that data.
1358 1999-04-08 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1360 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "EOF in RCS file" and
1361 "unexpected EOF" (in RCS file) messages.
1363 1999-03-25 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1365 * cvs.texinfo (admin options): Say there can be no space between
1366 -e and its argument (since the previous sentence said the argument
1367 can be omitted, this is the only possibility).
1369 1999-02-26 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1371 * cvs.texinfo (Merging and keywords): When including conflict
1372 markers, put @asis{} at the start of the line, in case this file
1373 itself is in CVS. Thanks to Derek Price for pointing this out.
1375 1999-02-25 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1377 * cvs.texinfo: Refer to "keywords" not "RCS keywords". We had
1378 only used the latter term in a few places, and it seems like a
1379 somewhat odd term in that this style of keyword is by no means
1381 (Merging a branch): Remove spurious ")". Use ref, not xref, after
1383 (Merging a branch, Substitution modes): Make sure that @ref is
1384 followed by comma, since info wants that.
1385 (Merging and keywords): Use samp not code for "-kk". Something of
1386 a judgement call, but the rest of the manual uses samp and that
1388 (Merging and keywords): Rewrite, to (a) better motivate the
1389 discussion based on what the user wants to do, (b) fix up lots of
1390 convoluted sentences, (c) move the discussion of the binary files
1391 to the end, that is get across the basic idea first and then
1392 embellish it. Remove a few unnecessary index entries. Expand
1393 example. Just tell people to avoid -kk with binary files (comment
1394 out the discussion of using -A after the commit).
1396 1999-01-29 Derek Price
1397 <http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/resume.html>
1399 * cvs.texinfo: Added new node/section on merging and keywords. It
1400 contains advice on how to avoid RCS keyword conflicts when merging
1401 and avoid corrupting your binary files while doing it.
1403 1999-02-24 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1405 * cvsclient.texi (Request intro): Add paragraph about transmitting
1406 more than one command.
1408 1999-01-29 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1410 * cvs.texinfo: Use EXAMPLE.COM EXAMPLE.ORG and EXAMPLE.NET instead
1411 of domains which might conflict with actual (current or future)
1412 domains. The EXAMPLE domains are registered for this purpose.
1414 1999-01-22 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1416 * cvs.texinfo (Sticky tags): Refer to -j as the better way to undo
1418 (Merging two revisions): Also talk about undoing removals and
1419 adds. Move the index entries to here.
1421 1999-01-21 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1423 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "waiting for USER's lock".
1425 1999-01-16 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1427 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Comment out all the -t/-f documentation,
1428 since that feature is currently disabled.
1430 1999-01-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1432 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Add some more index entries so
1433 that people who want to use SSH and such are slightly less lost.
1435 1999-01-12 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1437 * cvs-paper.ms: Remove comments which contained the FSF's old
1438 address; it has changed.
1440 1998-12-29 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1442 * cvsclient.texi (Dates): Numeric timezones are preferred.
1443 Also mention the Checkin-time request.
1445 1998-12-23 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
1447 * RCSFILES: Add clarification about certain character set issues
1448 from Paul Eggert, the RCS maintainer. The last paragraph and the
1449 change from Shift-JIS to JIS as an example of a character set
1450 which contains 0x40 bytes which are not '@' characters are mine;
1451 the rest is directly from Paul Eggert.
1453 1998-12-22 Martin Buchholz <martin@xemacs.org>
1455 * cvs.texinfo: Fixed various trivial typos.
1457 1998-12-17 Jim Kingdon
1459 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Explicitly say that Mod-time need
1460 not be sent for all files.
1462 1998-12-16 Jim Kingdon
1464 Thanks to Ram Rajadhyaksha of the MacCVS Pro team for raising the
1466 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): The deal about storing
1467 files as text files applies to all the CVS/* files, not just
1468 CVS/Entries. State the rationale too.
1469 Document CVSROOT/Emptydir in CVS/Repository.
1470 There is no set order in CVS/Entries.
1471 Explicitly say that writing Entries.Log is optional.
1473 1998-12-03 Jim Kingdon
1475 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "unrecognized auth response".
1476 (Password authentication server): Remove comment about
1477 "unrecognized auth response" and link to the troubleshooting
1480 1998-12-02 Jim Kingdon
1482 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): Add an example.
1484 1998-11-18 Jim Kingdon
1486 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Change "-r tag" to "-r rev". We
1487 already use "tag" as the name of the tag we are adding.
1489 1998-11-13 Jim Kingdon
1491 * cvs.texinfo (CVS commands): Add comment about whether part of
1492 the manual should be organized by command.
1494 1998-11-06 Jim Kingdon
1496 Clean up various confusions between modules and directories:
1497 * cvs.texinfo: In "are you sure you want to release" message,
1498 change module to directory. CVS was changed some time ago.
1499 (Tags): "working copy of the module" -> "working directory".
1500 (Merging two revisions): Remove unnecessary text "that make up a
1502 (Recursive behavior): Change "module" to "directory".
1503 (Removing files): Likewise.
1504 (Tracking sources): Remove "a module" from titles.
1505 (Moving directories): Change "module" to "parent-dir".
1506 (Inside): Remove "of the module".
1507 (Inside): Change "module" to "dir".
1508 (Rename by copying): Change "module" to "dir".
1509 (Rename by copying): Remove "of the module".
1510 (Moving directories): "copy of the module" -> "checked out copy of
1511 the directory"; remove second "of the module". Change "check out
1512 the module" to " check out again".
1513 (Moving directories): Remove "of the module".
1514 (Keyword substitution): "your working copy of a module" -> "a
1516 (CVS commands): Change "module" to "directory".
1517 (release examples): "module" -> "tc directory".
1518 (commitinfo): "relative path to the module" -> "directory in the
1520 (verifymsg): Change "module" to "directory".
1521 (Updating a file): "working copy of a module" -> "working directory".
1523 1998-10-25 Jim Kingdon
1525 * cvs.texinfo (Branches and revisions): Fix error in branch
1526 numbering which was introduced with change of 4 May 1997.
1528 1998-10-20 Jim Kingdon
1530 * cvs.texinfo (Tags): Point to Invoking CVS node so people aren't
1531 left wondering what the syntax is. When introducing -r option,
1532 warn people about sticky tags right off.
1533 (Tagging the working directory, Tagging by date/tag, Modifying
1534 tags, Tagging add/remove): New sections.
1535 (Invoking CVS): Adjust tag and rtag to point to the new sections,
1536 and to add tag -c which had been omitted. Delete tag -n; there is
1538 (rtag, tag): Removed; no longer needed.
1539 (commit examples): Update xref.
1541 1998-10-15 Jim Kingdon
1543 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): It is OK to send Set before Root.
1545 1998-10-13 Jim Kingdon
1547 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Remove item about "cvs update"
1548 sending modified files to the server; there are some better ideas
1549 at http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/dev-update.txt
1550 Add mention of www.cyclic.com.
1552 1998-09-30 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1554 * cvs.texinfo (Committing your changes, Environment variables):
1557 1998-09-27 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1559 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Say explicitly
1560 that you edit passwd directly, many users get confused by this.
1562 1998-09-24 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1564 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via fork): :fork: may be of interest to
1565 users, for example those who prefer CVS to prompt for one log
1566 message per checkin, rather than one per directory.
1567 (Connecting via fork): Document CVS_SERVER.
1569 1998-09-24 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1571 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via fork): new node about the fork
1574 1998-09-22 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1576 * cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Document
1577 CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT in the CVS 1.10 context.
1578 (Moving a repository): Update comments concerning surgery on
1579 CVS/Root and CVS/Repository files.
1581 1998-09-21 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1583 * cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): remove information about
1584 CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT, since it's no longer used.
1586 1998-09-21 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1588 * cvs.texinfo (config): Mention that CVS 1.10 doesn't have
1591 1998-09-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1593 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Describe $Name and checking out with
1596 1998-09-16 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1598 * cvs.texinfo: RFC2346 is out; update comment.
1600 1998-09-13 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1602 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword list, Substitution modes): In describing
1603 $Locker and -kkvl, refer to cvs admin -l.
1605 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Re-word description of Sticky to
1606 allow room for "Ntagname" (or other, future, values).
1608 * cvs.texinfo (tag): Remove confusing wording about supplying
1609 revision numbers "implicitly".
1611 1998-09-10 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1613 * cvs.texinfo (rdiff options): Thanks to the diff library, -u is
1614 supported regardless of your diff program.
1616 1998-09-07 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1618 * cvs.texinfo (config): Add LockDir.
1620 1998-09-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1622 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): "Directory" and "Argument" are
1623 requests, not commands. Likewise for "other-request". A command,
1624 roughly, is a request that uses "Argument"s, but we might want to
1625 phase out the use of that term more so than codify it, I'm not sure.
1627 1998-09-01 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1629 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): added a detailed explanation of the
1630 Directory request and how it is handled, both for pre-1.10 and
1633 1998-09-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1635 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): Also describe the CVS 1.10
1636 behavior. Looking at a mismatched version of the manual seems to
1637 be a reasonably common occurrence.
1639 * cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Revert change regarding
1640 CVS_SERVER_SLEEP*; having that kind of debugging code in the main
1641 CVS is getting out of hand.
1643 1998-09-01 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1645 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): brief mention that cvs now
1646 handles a working directory composed of multiple repositories.
1647 (Environment variables): add note about CVS_SERVER_SLEEP2.
1649 1998-08-21 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
1651 * cvsclient.texi (Text tags): Document importmergecmd tag.
1653 1998-08-20 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1655 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Replace out of date URL concerning
1656 ISO8601 dates with a more general statement and a few comments.
1658 1998-08-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1660 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add "Checkin-time" request.
1662 Sun Jul 26 02:42:20 1998 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
1664 * cvs.texinfo (config): TopLevelAdmin variable.
1666 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): fix typo.
1668 1998-07-14 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1670 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): "remove" is like "add" in the sense
1671 that it is the "ci" request which does most of the work.
1673 1998-06-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1675 * cvs.texinfo (Excluding directories): Fix order of
1676 "!first-dir/sdir" and "first-dir" to match what CVS actually
1677 accepts. Reported by Tim McIntosh of sterling.com.
1679 1998-06-09 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1681 * cvs.texinfo (Using keywords): Rewrite to be less specific to
1682 source code in C. The old text was worse than that; it was
1683 specific to certain versions of GCC (not even current GCC's, I
1684 don't think) (reported most recently by Mitchell Perilstein;
1685 if memory serves by others before that).
1687 1998-06-08 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1689 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): Also mention #cvs.lock. Don't
1690 mention #cvs.tfl; it is quite old (before CVS 1.5).
1691 (Locks, Backing up, Concurrency): Add more index entries.
1693 1998-06-03 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
1695 * cvs.texinfo (Tracking sources): Clarify that the vendor branch
1696 is only made the head revision when you import a new file, not any
1697 time you import a file.
1699 1998-05-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1701 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): info-cvs-request is now at gnu.org
1702 and is no longer handled by a human (hallelujah).
1704 1998-05-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@ascend.com>
1706 * cvs.texinfo: Add an info dir entry.
1707 Remove trailing white space.
1709 1998-05-05 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1711 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Be more explicit that -m 'COPY' has no
1712 effect on binary files.
1714 1998-05-02 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1716 * RCSFILES: Add more discussion of the order of the revisions.
1718 1998-04-27 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1720 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo example): Also give example of sending
1721 mail. Use internal variable $USER rather than expecting CVS to
1722 set the environment variable $USER. Change unnecessary 'sed'
1723 invocation to 'cat' (it suffered from the same problem in terms of
1724 internal variables versus environment variables).
1726 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "conflict: removed FILE was
1727 modified by second party".
1729 1998-04-20 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1731 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Update comment about meaning of
1734 1998-04-12 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1736 * cvsclient.texi (Dates): Also mention log -d.
1738 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): No space is allowed between -r or -w
1739 and its argument, for the log command.
1741 1998-04-11 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1743 * cvsclient.texi (Dates): New section, explaining the deal with
1746 1998-04-09 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1748 * cvs.texinfo (Global options, Invoking CVS): Fix typo
1749 ("files files" -> "files").
1750 (Invoking CVS): Make -q and -Q more concise.
1751 (Invoking CVS): Use @var for metavariables in "diff -r".
1753 1998-03-17 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1755 * cvs.texinfo (~/.cvsrc): In example, put "checkout" rather than
1756 "co" into .cvsrc; we just finished explaining that only the former
1757 works! Thanks to Lenny Foner for reporting this.
1759 * cvs.texinfo (Copying): Remove this node. This basically
1760 restores the status quo prior to 18 Oct 1996 (before then the node
1761 existed but was empty).
1762 (before Top): Adjust copyright notice accordingly.
1764 1998-03-12 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1766 * RCSFILES: Updated description of `hardlinks' newphrases.
1768 1998-03-07 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1770 * cvs.texinfo (Tags, Sticky tags, Creating a branch, Accessing
1771 branches): Rename release-0-1 tag to rel-0-1 and likewise for
1772 release-0-1-patches and release-0-4. This fixes an overfull hbox.
1773 (diff options): Reformat table to fix underfull hboxes and such.
1775 1998-03-07 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1777 * cvs.texinfo (Editing files, Special Files): Document hardlinks.
1778 Various cleanups to PreservePermissions text.
1779 * RCSFILES: Document PreservePermissions newphrases.
1781 1998-03-04 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1783 * cvs.texinfo (Special Files): Add notes about client/server CVS
1784 and hard links across directories.
1786 1998-03-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
1788 * cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): The magic loginfo
1789 incantation isn't too likely to work except on unix.

1862 (s/subsequent cvs update/& commands/). Remove "vi driver.c" and

1867 may need to know how to avoid them. Restore comment about
1869 (Accessing branches): Don't xref to merging here; that is a much
1870 more advanced topic and the "but see" wording didn't tell us what

1906 inherits text from "Revision numbers".
1907 (Creating a branch): Refer to "Branches and revisions" now, not

1910 it isn't specific to branch merging.

1912 about what this node is accomplishing, in general.
1914 Sun Dec 21 20:57:24 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>

1919 keep it all separate from revisions:
1920 (Revisions): Renamed from "Revisions and branches".
1921 (Branching and merging): Renamed from "Merging".
1922 (Branches motivation, Creating a branch, Sticky tags, Magic branch
1923 numbers): these subnodes moved to "Branching and merging" from
1925 everywhere: Adjusted cross-references to cope with above.
1927 Sun Dec 21 20:36:39 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>

2142 * cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Change example branch number
2143 from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4; CVS assigns even branch numbers and I don't

2213 * cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Reword the section on what you need
2214 to do with cvs admin -kb to hopefully be a bit clearer. Still not
2215 ideal (see comment).

2218 modules, regular modules, ampersand modules, and options. Expand

2327 responses and file update modifying responses.
2328 (Responses): Refer to this description rather than trying to

2330 somewhat incomplete and didn't get updated when new file updating
2331 responses were added.
2333 * cvsclient.texi: Split node Responses into Response intro,
2334 Response pathnames, and Responses.

2348 arguments, specify that there can be no space between the option

2373 the fact that we no longer use the comment leader.

2376 the example no longer does what it claims to.

2378 not refer to this being implemented via RCS. Say nastier things
2379 about -I and -x. Add comments about options to "rcs" which we

2416 terminology of MUST, SHALL, &c.
2418 * cvs.texinfo (Windows permissions): New node.

2465 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Rewrite comments concerning HEAD
2466 and testcases and solution. Changing HEAD might be too big a
2467 change; might be better to phase it out.

2474 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Add "E" and
2475 "error" as responses in authentication protocol. The server
2476 already was in the (formerly bad) habit of sending them, and we
2477 might as well implement this in the client and document it.
2479 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication security): Note about
2480 permissions on $CVSROOT also applies to its parent and so on up to

2603 Mon May 19 00:21:49 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2605 * cvs.texinfo (Keywords in imports): New node.
2606 (Tracking sources): Add comment about what a "vendor" is.
2608 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword substitution): Where it refers to RCS
2609 having a certain behavior, rewrite to not pass the buck like
2610 that. Saying "RCS file" is still OK; that is a legit CVS
2611 concept. A few other minor edits.
2613 Sun May 18 10:24:57 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2615 * RCSFILES: Add list of known newphrase extensions.
2617 * cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): Fix typo
2618 ("systesm" -> "systems").
2620 * cvs.texinfo (Exit status): New node.
2621 (diff): Replace text on exit status with an xref to that node.
2622 The previous text documented a behavior which CVS no longer
2624 (user-defined logging, commitinfo, verifymsg, Error messages):
2625 Add index entries for "exit status, of <something which CVS invokes>".
2627 * cvs.texinfo (Administrative files): Add comment concerning
2628 writing triggers and particularly performance issues.
2630 * cvs.texinfo (rtag options, tag options): Don't discuss what old
2631 versions did with respect to the behavior now controlled by -F; we
2632 don't try to document old versions here. Add comments concerning
2633 how -F should be documented. Add index entries for "renaming
2634 tags" and such pointing to "tag -F".
2636 Wed May 14 12:16:19 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2638 * cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add text and comment about

2669 by Jim Kingdon to reflect recent changes in cvs.texinfo)
2671 Sun May 4 14:38:35 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2673 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about "D" lines in
2676 * cvs.texinfo (CVS commands, diff): Change "run diffs" to "show
2677 differences"; the former is jargon.
2678 (CVS commands): Don't refer to "rlog" in describing what log does.
2680 * Makefile.in (cvsclient.dvi cvsclient.aux): Run texi2dvi rather
2681 than (poorly) emulating it ourself.
2683 Fix overfull and underfull hboxes:
2684 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Add words "the newsgroup" before
2685 "comp.sources.unix".
2686 (Credits): Put list of people in @display.
2687 (Repository files): Put /usr/local/cvsroot in @example.
2688 (Connecting via rsh): Change "anklet" to "toe" in example.
2689 (Kerberos authenticated, Password authentication client, Password
2690 authentication server): Change "brickyard" to "yard" in example.
2691 (Read-only access): Use @example and refer to files with a shorter
2693 (Server temporary directory): Use @example for pathname.
2694 (Watches Compatibility): Add phony line break.
2695 (Revision numbers): Remove revision 1.2.2.2 and tighten up the
2696 spacing for "the main trunk".
2697 (Tags, Creating a branch): Change /usr/local/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot.
2698 (Merging more than once): Tighten up spacing for "the main trunk".
2699 (Recursive behavior): Put long command in @example.
2700 (First import): Remove word "called".
2701 (Common options): Put long URL in @example.
2702 (loginfo example): Use fewer hyphens in example.
2703 (Variables): Put long command name in @example.

2711 (Example): Change /home/kingdon/testing/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot.
2713 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Don't refer to appendix A and B, they
2714 have been renumbered. Reword so that it works whether the text in
2715 question has since been rewritten or not.
2717 * cvs.texinfo (BUGS): Rewrite to reflect the many different ways
2718 that one might want to handle bugs. Move information on Signum
2719 and Cyclic from Preface to here. Remove information on known
2720 deficiencies in the manual (some of them I'm not sure were really
2721 things in need of improvement; others were too general to be
2722 useful). For the most part FIXME comments are probably better for
2723 this. Remove "Linkoping, October 1993, Per Cederqvist"--many
2724 parts of the manual are now from other people, dates, and places.
2725 (What is CVS): For the most part, just refer to BUGS concerning
2726 bug-cvs. Also tell people how to subscribe to bug-cvs.
2727 (Credits): Say that list is not comprehensive and refer to

2732 * cvs.texinfo (rcsinfo): Add comment about checkoutlist and

2737 * cvs.texinfo (Backing up): New node.
2739 * cvs.texinfo (Repository): Be more explicit about the repository
2740 and the working directory not being subdirectories of each other.
2742 Mon Apr 28 11:12:56 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2744 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Use "*.c" not "?.c" in example;
2745 the former should be good for both unix and DOS-like operating
2746 systems. Document -f option. Refer to Invoking CVS for a full
2747 list of options. Add a few comments.
2749 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): For checkout and update, call them
2750 "sticky options" not "sticky kopts".
2752 * cvs.texinfo (Editing files): Add additional comments on get
2755 Sun Apr 27 16:17:06 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2757 * cvs.texinfo (commit): Only document the current flags (where -f
2758 is force and -F file gets the message from a log file). We had
2759 partly made this change on 9 Feb 1997, but some places got missed.
2761 * RCSFILES: Add discussion of the common concern regarding
2762 applying deltas to get to a branch head.
2764 * DIFFUTILS-2.7-BUG: New file.
2766 * cvs.texinfo (File status): Refer to "Invoking CVS", not
2767 "status", for status options. Add paragraph about how "cvs -n -q
2768 update" is another way to display file status.
2769 (update examples): Removed; it had contained the "cvs -n -q
2771 (Invoking CVS): xref to "File status" and "Tags", not "status" and
2773 (status, status options): Removed.
2774 (update options, checkout options): xref to "Invoking CVS"
2777 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify how long-lived Sticky and
2778 Static-directory are.
2780 * cvs.texinfo: Add @finalout.
2782 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "cannot change permissions on
2783 temporary directory" message.
2785 Wed Apr 23 12:53:45 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2787 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Document "add" in much more detail.

2797 pserver authentication and for protocol negotiation.
2799 Mon Apr 21 08:54:48 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2801 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Describe what to do
2802 with Entries.Log in more detail.
2804 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Say "CVS 1.9 and earlier" rather
2805 than "pre version 1.10". The latter increases confusion by
2806 referring to a version which doesn't exist yet.
2808 Mon Apr 21 01:02:53 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
2810 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Document Rcs-diff. Indicate that
2811 Patched is now deprecated in favor of Rcs-diff.

2815 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Add note about format
2816 of timestamp and the "Result of merge" concept.
2818 Sat Apr 19 13:42:33 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2820 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): It is OK for Copy-file to implement
2821 a rename instead of a copy.
2823 Fri Apr 18 12:05:48 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2825 * cvs.texinfo (Assigning revisions): Say that -r implies -f.
2827 Thu Apr 17 16:34:14 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2829 * cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): Add comment
2830 about CMZ and PATCHY.

2834 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Add paragraph describing how
2835 Copy-file relates to Merged.
2836 (Responses): Add paragraph about how it is the server which
2837 worries about not clobbering the user's file.

2841 * RCSFILES: Add notes on keyword expansion.

2844 text regarding the revision number that the new file starts with.
2846 Mon Apr 14 12:37:35 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2848 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clients should try to send
2849 notifications right away.
2851 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): For Notify request, clarify a few
2852 future expansion situations. Specify the format of the time.
2854 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify that arguments to co, rdiff,
2855 and rtag are module names (and how that differs from file/directory
2858 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Say that servers need to create
2859 directories one at a time.
2861 Sat Apr 12 09:32:58 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2863 * cvs.texinfo (Committing your changes): Say that editor default
2864 is notepad (not vi) for Windows NT/95. Be more clear about what
2865 "cvs commit" does. Add paragraph about timestamps.
2866 (Environment variables, Global options, editinfo):
2867 Add xrefs to that node.
2869 Thu Apr 10 15:48:39 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2871 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "could not patch; will refetch".
2873 Wed Apr 9 15:21:11 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2875 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): New node.
2877 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add comment about "cvs co ." on
2880 Tue Apr 8 14:44:26 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2882 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add diff3 usage message.
2884 Sun Apr 6 19:03:01 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2886 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Add comment about undoing a "cvs
2889 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Explicitly mention the idea of
2890 deferring "Notify" requests.
2892 Tue Apr 1 07:51:38 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2894 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Add paragraph about directory
2895 creation and empty directories.
2897 * cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add comment about binary files and
2900 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add discussion of when to send
2903 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Sending Is-modified is enough to
2904 prevent the file from being considered "lost".
2906 Sun Mar 30 00:31:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2908 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add Is-modified request. Clarify
2909 order of Entry relative to Unchanged or Is-modified (might as well
2910 specify the same thing vis-a-vis Modified while we are at it).
2912 Sat Mar 29 12:32:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2914 * cvsclient.texi: Change "newline" to "linefeed". Most of the
2915 document already reads "linefeed" and that is what is intended.
2916 (File transmissions): New node, moved here from Requests.
2917 (Goals, Filenames, File transmissions, new node Strings): Add
2918 discussion of character sets and what we expect from the transport
2921 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add paragraph about each Directory
2922 request specifying a new local-directory and repository.
2924 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add paragraph about renaming
2925 local-directory in Directory request. Use "local-directory"
2926 consistently instead of "working directory", for clarity.
2928 Fri Mar 28 13:59:59 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2930 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Make it clear that there is no
2931 guarantee that one will get Clear-sticky instead of another
2932 response. Also clarify that clients will tend to store the
2933 repository in a long-term way.
2935 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Further clarify Directory example.
2937 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add example and further explanation
2938 of what expand-modules is for.
2940 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add example, hopefully making it
2941 clearer what REPOSITORY and LOCAL-DIRECTORY mean to Directory.
2943 * cvs.texinfo (Attic): New node.
2944 (rtag options): Adjust discussion of -a accordingly.
2945 (Repository files): Adjust accordingly.
2947 Thu Mar 27 09:57:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2949 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Give exact wording of broken pipe
2952 * cvs.texinfo (history database): Add comment about various
2953 problems with the history file.
2955 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): The ISO8601 web page we had
2956 mentioned in a comment is no more. Replace it with a new one.
2958 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): "cvs history" also outputs dates.
2960 Wed Mar 26 10:54:21 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2962 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): "cvs editors" also outputs dates.
2964 * cvs.texinfo (Outside): Fix paragraph which said that revision
2965 numbers start at 1.0. First of all, it is 1.1. Second of all, it
2966 is sometimes 2.1, 3.1, etc. Third of all, the xref should be to
2967 Assigning revisions not commit options.
2969 * cvs.texinfo (Outside): Comment out sentence which incorrectly
2970 stated that "cvs add" can operate on "foo/bar.c".
2972 Tue Mar 25 22:21:29 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2974 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): New node.
2975 (Magic branch numbers): Move from Troubleshooting to Revisions and
2976 branches. The former placement never made any sense to me.
2977 (Revision numbers): Remove "Main trunk (intro)" index entry now
2978 that this node is right next to the other "main trunk" index
2980 (BUGS): Very briefly mention reporting bugs in CVS.
2982 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about "Nfoo" in CVS/Tag.
2984 Mon Mar 24 13:50:24 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2986 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a branch): Add comment about -r in branch
2989 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Discuss meaning of tagspec and
2990 future expansion in Set-sticky. The behavior described is the one
2991 which CVS has always implemented.
2993 Fri Mar 21 14:19:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2995 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Revise meaning of "Case" per change
2998 Tue Mar 18 15:50:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3000 The following reorganization hopefully presents numeric revisions
3001 in a slightly more coherent fashion. The only new material is the
3002 paragraph about assigning revisions for added files.
3003 * cvs.texinfo (A sample session): Bring in a sentence from Basic
3004 concepts node, defining a repository.
3005 (Revisions and branches): Renamed from Branches (it has always
3006 covered non-branch tags too). Bring in nodes "Revision numbers" and
3007 "Versions revisions releases" from Basic concepts, the former in
3008 particular was way too detailed for an intro section.
3009 (A sample session): Add comment about how we need an introduction
3010 and what might go into one. Also bring in the paragraph from
3011 Basic concepts introducing modules, but comment it out.
3012 (Viewing differences): Add comment about
3013 (Basic concepts): Removed; its content has been farmed out as
3014 described above, and as the comment said, it was fundamentally
3016 (Assigning revisions): New node. Incorporates the "New major
3017 release number" subsubsec which was in "commit examples". Add
3018 paragraph concerning how CVS assigns revisions on added files.
3019 (commit options): Refer to that node under -r.
3020 (Invoking CVS): Add comment about text for -r.
3022 Tue Mar 18 13:04:30 1997 Jim Meyering <meyering@totoro.cyclic.com>
3024 * Makefile.in: (install-info): Depend on installdirs.
3026 Sun Mar 16 12:37:12 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3028 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): CVSUMASK now works for RCS
3029 files; but it is (still) awkward for client/server CVS.
3031 Sat Mar 15 17:41:12 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3033 * cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Add comment about where this
3036 Thu Mar 13 09:11:36 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3038 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Fix grammatical mistake ("manual about"
3039 -> "manual is about"). Reported by Philippe De Muyter.
3041 Sun Mar 9 09:06:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3043 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Add comment about val-tags and
3046 Sun Mar 2 12:33:26 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3048 * cvs.texinfo (From scratch): Add comment about creating
3049 directories with add rather than import.
3051 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Add comment about how this
3052 somewhat duplicates Server requirements.
3054 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Add comment about rsh
3055 vs. remsh. Also wording fix ("incorrect" -> "inapplicable").
3057 * cvs.texinfo (Outside): Add comment about renames and annotate.
3059 * cvs.texinfo (Server requirements): New node.
3061 Thu Feb 27 15:20:49 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3063 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Reword section on "cvs admin
3064 -l". As nearly as I can tell based on when it came up on info-cvs
3065 and other contexts, people who are into reserved checkouts
3066 generally find that cvs admin -l is OK. Add a bunch more notes
3067 (inside @ignore) about reserved checkout implementation ideas.
3069 Sun Feb 23 16:12:03 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3071 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add various additional comments
3074 * RCSFILES: Remove diff for Id and explain it in words instead.
3075 The previous values for Id had been clobbered by keyword expansion
3076 on the RCSFILES file itself.
3078 Sat Feb 22 14:16:28 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3080 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Fix typo (missing backslash).
3082 Fri Feb 21 23:08:38 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3084 * RCSFILES: New file.
3085 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Add RCSFILES.
3087 20 Feb 1997 Lenny Foner <foner@media.mit.edu>
3089 * cvs.texinfo (Checklist): Fix typo ("keword" -> "keyword").
3091 Thu Feb 20 21:57:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3093 * cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): Add "web" to index.
3095 Wed Feb 12 18:44:16 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3097 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication client, Invoking CVS):
3098 Document "cvs logout" command.
3100 Tue Feb 11 20:42:45 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3102 * cvs.texinfo (commit options): Document that the -f option to
3103 commit disables recursion.
3105 Sun Feb 9 13:58:59 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3107 * cvs.texinfo (diff options): Document all the options we pass
3108 through to diff. Remove paragraph about -D sometimes meaning
3109 --ifdef since that is no longer true.
3111 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Add lengthy comment about
3112 reserved checkout design issues.
3114 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add paragraph about timestamps.
3116 * cvs.texinfo (commit options): Don't try to document what CVS 1.3
3117 does with -f and how recent versions differ: 1.3 is pretty old
3118 anyway, we generally only try to document the current version, and
3119 the way it was described here was pretty confusing.
3120 (Environment variables): Likewise for CVSEDITOR.
3122 * cvs.texinfo (import output): Add index entries for symbolic
3123 links. Add brief mention of whether behavior should be
3124 different. Add comments on other symbolic link issues.
3126 Wed Feb 5 13:02:37 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3128 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): Add comment about commit/commit
3131 Mon Feb 3 10:55:41 1997 joel boutros <nihilis@moral.addiction.com>
3133 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Fix typo (programs -> problems).
3135 Fri Jan 31 12:18:47 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3137 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Correct typo
3138 (``sent'' for ``send''), and rewrite sentence for clarity.
3140 Fri Jan 24 10:31:57 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3142 * cvs.texinfo (File status): Change "Unresolved Conflict" to "File
3143 had conflicts on merge" per change to CVS.
3145 Sun Jan 19 16:21:17 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3147 * cvs.texinfo (admin): Add comments about "group" and "compiled in
3148 value". At least one info-cvs poster was confused by this.
3150 Thu Jan 16 17:54:51 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3152 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): It is just -t/-f which doesn't work
3153 client/server. -k *does* (well, except for the problem with
3154 import noted in BUGS). -m I don't know and I doubt anyone cares.
3156 Mon Jan 13 15:41:02 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@ynu38.ynu.edu.cn>
3158 * cvs.texinfo (Read-only access): rephrase to imply that there may
3159 be other administrative files, besides history and locks, which
3160 read-only users can also affect (in the future, for example, the
3163 Wed Jan 8 14:50:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3165 * Makefile.in: Remove CVSid; we decided to get rid
3166 of these some time ago.
3168 Wed Jan 8 09:08:36 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3170 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Document
3171 restriction that cvs root sent in the cvs protocol and in the
3172 pserver authentication protocol must be identical.
3174 Thu Jan 2 13:30:56 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3176 * Makefile.in, cvs.texinfo: Remove "675" paragraph;
3177 see ../ChangeLog for rationale.
3179 Thu Jan 2 09:34:51 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@ynu38.ynu.edu.cn>
3181 * cvs.texinfo (Read-only access): new node.
3182 (Repository): new menu item for above new node.
3183 (Password authentication server): document the user-aliasing
3184 feature. Why was this undocumented before?
3186 Wed Jan 1 18:12:11 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3188 * cvs.texinfo (Conflicts example): Use @asis in example to prevent
3189 starting a line with a conflict marker. This means that when
3190 maintaining the file with CVS itself, CVS will not think there is
3191 a conflict merely because of the conflict marker in the example.
3192 IMHO, this is totally bogus and CVS needs a better way of figuring
3193 out whether a conflict is resolved (see comments elsewhere in this
3194 node), but until then.... Credit to Fred Fish for reporting the
3197 * cvs.texinfo (cvsignore): Add paragraph about how .cvsignore
3198 files in the sources being imported by "cvs import" override
3199 "-I !". Credit goes to Fred Fish for pointing out this problem.
3201 Thu Dec 19 12:36:46 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3203 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Update Roland Pesch email address per his
3206 Tue Dec 17 12:57:56 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3208 * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): In example, remove text "and reedit if
3209 necessary"; it was copied from editinfo and doesn't apply here.
3210 Fix syntax of if statement; remove unnecessary attempt at loop;
3211 don't use -n with echo. Add @appendixsec at start of node.
3212 Add note about how verifymsg cannot change log message.
3213 (editinfo): In paragraph saying editinfo is obsolete, fix various
3214 typos and formatting glitches. Mention -e as well as EDITOR.
3215 (editinfo): In saying that editinfo doesn't get consulted with -m,
3216 -F or client/server, recommend verifymsg. Remove comment which
3217 says, in effect, "we need a feature like verifymsg".
3218 (editinfo example): Change "verifymsg" back to "editinfo" here;
3219 the example is of editinfo not verifymsg.
3221 Tue Dec 17 12:45:32 1996 Abe Feldman <feldman@cyclic.com>
3223 * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): New node.
3224 various places: Say that editinfo is obsolete, or refer to
3225 verifymsg instead of editinfo
3227 Wed Dec 11 08:55:26 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3229 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about 1.3 and file death.
3231 * cvs.texinfo (update output, release output): Document "P" as
3234 Tue Dec 10 16:23:40 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3236 * cvs.texinfo (Builds): Change "make" to "implement" and "build";
3237 in this context "make" is ambiguous.
3238 (Builds): Add new URL of mk web page.
3240 Mon Dec 9 11:03:37 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3242 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication client, Environment
3243 variables): Remove mention of CVS_PASSWORD.
3245 Sun Dec 8 22:38:34 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3247 * cvs.texinfo (Repository files): Mention differences between RCS
3248 files in RCS and in CVS.
3249 (Tags): Tag names must start with a letter.
3251 Fri Dec 6 09:08:18 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3253 * cvs.texinfo (syntax): Expand discussion of regular expression
3256 Fri Nov 29 09:06:41 1996 fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish)
3257 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3259 * cvs.texinfo, cvsclient.texi: Make sure @ref and friends are
3260 followed by "," or "." as described in the texinfo manual. This
3261 is a dubious practice as texi2html and texinfo.tex don't require
3262 it, and makeinfo could insert them as needed, but since makeinfo
3263 doesn't do that yet, cope.
3265 * cvs.texinfo (From files): Suggest "diff -r" rather than "ls -R"
3266 as the way to see that the sources seem to have been imported
3268 (Common options): -k is also available with import.
3269 (admin options): Fix typo ("interrested" -> "interested").
3271 Mon Nov 25 10:03:56 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3273 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comments about two digit
3274 years, year 2000, and ambiguous/nonexistent dates.
3276 Sun Nov 24 17:27:24 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3278 * cvs.texinfo (First import): Don't say what the wdiff program we
3279 are using as an example does--that is confusing. Also don't show
3280 untarring it--people might be familiar with cpio, ZIP, VMS BACKUP,
3281 etc., instead of tar.
3283 * cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Update comment about "cvs add -m".
3285 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Remove -H; -H is not a command
3287 (Global options): Also list --help and --version. Don't say that
3288 -H gives a list of commands; it doesn't any more (directly).
3290 * cvs.texinfo: Add comment pointing to paper size web page.
3292 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Rewrite section on date formats.
3293 Executive summary is that RFC822 and ISO8601 are now preferred.
3295 Wed Nov 20 08:39:45 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3297 * cvs.texinfo (Getting Notified): Add paragraph clarifying that
3298 watches happen per user, not per working directory.
3300 Tue Nov 19 09:39:08 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3302 * cvs.texinfo (Tags): Suggest that future special tag names might
3303 start with ".". Fix typo.
3305 * cvs.texinfo (Removing directories): -P is also available with
3307 (Moving directories): Rewrite first paragraph; now says that you
3308 must use -P for the directory to disappear from working
3309 directories. Thanks to Martin Lorentzon
3310 <Martin.Lorentzson@emw.ericsson.se> for reporting this bug.
3311 (various): Where we mention -P, point to Removing directories
3314 Sat Nov 16 18:03:22 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3316 * cvsclient.texi (Example): Rewrite to actually be based on a real
3317 live example (and therefore reflect the way the protocol currently
3318 works). Add comment about formatting of the document itself.
3320 Thu Nov 14 10:22:58 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3322 * cvsclient.texi (Introduction): Use @ref, not @xref, after "see".
3323 (Goals): Rewrite items about locking, about uploading in big
3324 chunks, and about atomicity to be focused more on the protocol
3325 than the current implementation.
3326 (Notes): Remove this node. The attempt to describe the basic
3327 model has pretty much been replaced by the Introduction.
3328 The material about how to start the client is incomplete and
3329 better left to cvs.texinfo. And the item about the lack of
3330 SERVER_FLOWCONTROL is obsolete now that SERVER_FLOWCONTROL is the
3332 (Protocol Notes): Add comment about multisite features.
3333 (Requirements): Use @code for requests and responses.
3335 * cvs.texinfo (Remote repositories): Add a few sentences defining
3336 "client" and "server"; before we had been using the terms without
3339 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Add paragraph about reporting bugs.
3340 Reword and expand comp.software.config-mgmt description (and add
3341 comments about other newsgroup facts). Point people at GNU list
3342 of FTP sites rather than directly at prep.ai.mit.edu.
3344 Wed Nov 6 09:45:08 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3346 * cvs.texinfo (Tracking sources): Add comment regarding added and
3349 Tue Nov 5 14:00:31 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3351 * cvs.texinfo: Rename node "Invoking CVS" to "CVS commands".
3352 Rewrite the intro and comments to reflect addition of the new
3354 (Invoking CVS): New node, a quick summary of each command.
3355 (annotate): Don't list the options; refer to Invoking CVS and
3356 Common options instead.
3358 Sun Nov 3 21:22:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3360 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): New node, moved from ../README.
3362 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about how tar manual
3363 contains documentation for getdate date formats.
3365 Fri Nov 1 14:00:31 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3367 * cvs.texinfo (commit examples): Rewrite "New major release
3368 number" section to tighten up the wording, better motivate the
3369 discussion, and replace the term "rcs revision number" with
3372 Fri Oct 25 07:49:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3374 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): Don't say "a la printf"; the syntax is
3375 only vaguely similar to printf.
3377 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): To get just the repository name, suggest
3378 %{} instead of % "standing alone"; the latter is now an error.
3380 Tue Oct 22 13:08:54 1996 Noel Cragg <noel@gargle.rain.org>
3382 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): add information on the new loginfo format
3383 string specification.
3385 Mon Oct 21 17:33:44 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3387 * cvs.texinfo (Builds): New node.
3388 (What is CVS?): Refer to it.
3390 Sat Oct 19 14:32:21 1996 Jim Meyering <meyering@asic.sc.ti.com>
3391 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

3395 Sat Oct 19 14:32:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3397 * cvsclient.texi (Obsolete): New node.
3398 (Requests): Remove Repository and Lost and adjust Directory,
3399 UseUnchanged, and other places accordingly.
3400 (Required): Directory and Unchanged are now required.
3402 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Don't talk about modules; they are
3403 not relevant in this context.
3404 (Removing directories): New node.
3405 (Common options): Refer to it instead of duplicating information.
3407 Fri Oct 18 11:05:06 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

3420 reflect the functioning/nonfunctioning status of cvs add -m.
3422 * cvs.texinfo (Reverting local changes): New node, somewhat based
3423 on the version of this node from 30 Sep 96 change.

3430 who has the stale locks.
3431 (update output, release output): Remove text about how CVS doesn't
3432 print "? foo" for directories; CVS has since been changed (see
3433 conflicts-130 in sanity.sh).

3448 Mon Oct 7 17:20:11 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3450 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Correct apparent cut and paste
3451 error: refer to the removed file, not the added file.
3453 Tue Oct 1 14:15:33 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3455 * cvs.texinfo: Revert all recent changes (the last unscathed one
3456 is the CVSUMASK one from Sunday). For the most part said changes
3457 are for new features which are not appropriate at this stage of
3458 the release process. None of the changes being reverted need to
3459 go into 1.9, that is for sure.
3461 Mon Sep 30 18:17:34 1996 Greg A. Woods <woods@most.weird.com>
3463 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): add comment asking if we should update.

3468 (First import): add a couple of helpful hints about naming vendor
3469 and release tags, etc., and regularize the examples with this.
3470 (Tracking sources): noted some reasons why you might use vendor
3471 branches with "cvs import".
3472 (Update imports): mention using "update" in place of "checkout" if
3473 you have an existing working directory.
3474 (Binary files in imports): add sub-menu separator comment.
3475 (Tracking sources): new menu entry "Reverting to vendor release".
3476 (Reverting to vendor release): new node to describe reverting
3477 local changes and optionally using patch(1) to move local changes
3479 (Global options): describe -D and -g, as well as DIFFBIN and
3481 (export examples): add one.
3482 (import options): describe the effect of '-b 1'.

3486 * cvs.texinfo: Adjust comments concerning A4 vs. US letter,
3487 referring to ../README.
3489 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about dates which CVS
3492 Sun Sep 29 11:14:16 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3494 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Don't mention Name twice.
3496 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Expand CVSUMASK stuff a bit.
3497 (Setting a watch, Environment variables, Global options): Update
3498 index entries for "read-only files, and ...".
3500 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): State that Gzip-stream is preferred
3501 to gzip-file-contents. Cite RFC1952/1951 rather than just "gzip".
3502 Say that RFC1950/1951 compression is also known as "zlib".
3504 Sat Sep 28 09:31:45 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3506 * cvs.texinfo (Repository): Move all information about the
3507 internal structure of the repository to User modules node. Rename
3508 it to "Repository storage" ("User modules" wasn't particularly
3509 clear). Mention CVSUMASK. Much clarification and
3511 (Basic concepts): Remove material which duplicates what is now in
3512 Repository. Rewrite paragraph introducing modules.
3514 * cvs.texinfo (Starting a new project): In discussing difficulty
3515 in renaming files, don't refer to "cvs 1.x"--there is no
3516 non-vaporous "cvs 2.x". Reword to reflect that part of the reason
3517 to avoid renames (where possible) is not because of CVS at all, and
3518 to try to give a general impression of how bad CVS issues involved in
3521 Fri Sep 27 04:23:44 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3523 * cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Talk about directories, not modules,
3524 since that is what is meant. Suggest using -kb option to add
3525 rather than running cvs admin after the fact and xref to Binary
3526 files not admin examples. Incorporate information which had been
3527 in "add" node (there was a lot of duplication). Don't document
3528 use of "add" on a directory to take the place of "cvs update -d";
3529 the latter is simpler and more logical.
3530 (add, add options, add examples): Removed.
3531 (release output, release options): Update xrefs accordingly.
3532 (Adding files, Removing files): Mention the fact that adds and
3533 removes are branch-specific.
3534 (Merging adds and removals): New node.
3536 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): When mentioning RCS locks, use the
3537 term reserved checkouts and xref to the place where we discuss
3540 Thu Sep 26 08:26:01 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3542 * cvs.texinfo (log): Add comments about timezones.
3543 (log, Common options): Add index entries for timezone and zone, time.
3545 Wed Sep 25 11:05:30 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3547 * cvs.texinfo (log options): Add xref to where we describe the
3548 date formats that -d accepts.
3549 (Common options): Don't refer to date formats accepted by co(1);
3550 CVS's rules have never been the same. Add long whiny comment
3551 about what a mess date formats are.
3553 Tue Sep 24 11:49:02 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3555 * cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): The RCS file
3556 must not be locked when you copy it to the CVS repository.
3558 * cvs.texinfo (Editing files): Also discuss how to revert in the
3559 non-watch case. Add some index entries.
3561 * cvs.texinfo (update output): Add comment about how we *should*
3562 be handling .# files. Mention fact that it is different under
3563 VMS. Add .# to index.
3565 Fri Sep 20 13:08:33 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3567 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Revise text on reserved
3568 versus unreserved checkouts extensively. Move index entries for
3569 "reserved checkouts" and "RCS-style locking" to here. Add
3570 cross-reference to cvs admin -l. Add new section "Choosing a
3572 (Editing files): Add note about use of the word "checkout".
3574 Tue Sep 17 00:54:57 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3576 * cvs.texinfo (Defining the module): Don't suggest "cvs co
3577 modules"; that depends on a "modules" module being defined which
3578 is not the default which is created by "cvs init". Instead
3579 suggest "cvs co CVSROOT/modules" which should always work.
3581 Tue Sep 17 00:43:49 1996 VaX#n8 <vax@linkdead.paranoia.com>
3582 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3584 * cvs.texinfo (Rename by copying): Suggest "cvs tag -d" on the file
3585 "new", not on everything. Also don't suggest deleting branch tags.
3587 Tue Sep 17 00:34:39 1996 David A. Swierczek <swierczekd@med.ge.com>
3589 * Makefile.in (install-info): Note whether files are in srcdir and
3590 deal with it rather than cd'ing into srcdir.
3592 Mon Sep 16 23:33:36 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3594 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add comment about using wrappers to
3595 compress files in the repository.

3600 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Describe the need for write
3601 permissions for locks and val-tags.
3603 * cvs.texinfo (commitinfo): Add comment about using commitinfo to
3604 enforce who has access.

3607 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3609 * cvs.texinfo (checkout): Refer to "update output" node.
3610 (import): Add new import output node.
3611 (release): Correct release output menu entry (used to be
3612 release options instead).
3613 (update output): Say this is output from checkout as well as

3630 Fri Sep 13 23:55:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3632 * cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Delete song and dance about
3633 how cvs log can't cope with magic branches because rlog doesn't
3634 know about them; cvs log no longer calls rlog. Delete item about
3635 how you can't specify a symbolic branch to cvs log; that is fixed.
3637 Wed Sep 11 22:48:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3639 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Add comments
3640 regarding port numbers and troubleshooting.

3654 "Repository revision". Refer to other sections for other aspects

3657 (update output): Refer user to Conflicts example node. Add
3658 comment regarding purging of .# files.
3660 Fri Sep 6 11:47:14 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>

3802 (Setting up): ...and remove this node.

3804 refers back to us!).
3806 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Document the fact that the server

3847 (What is CVS?): Mention comp.software.config-mgmt as well as
3848 info-cvs. Mention the fact that info-cvs-request can be slow in
3850 (What is CVS?): Rather than say that cvs is not a configuration
3851 mangement system, say specifically what it lacks (change control,
3852 etc.). I added process control (which was sorely lacking from the
3853 list of configuration management functionality), and deleted some
3854 functions such as tape construction which are not provided by the
3855 well-known configuration management systems.
3857 * cvs.texinfo (checkout options): Add comment regarding
3858 subdirectories (lack of clarity pointed out by ian@cygnus.com).
3859 Add comment about that infernal "short as possible" wording.
3861 * cvs.texinfo (Global options): Fix error ("diff" -> "log")
3862 (reported by ian@cygnus.com).
3863 Remove footnote "Yes, this really should be fixed, and it's being

3867 Tue May 21 17:22:18 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3869 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify Directory with "." as local

3902 (Requests): add note about convention: requests starting with a
3903 captial letter don't have any expected response. Made sure each
3904 request has a "Response expected" note.
3906 * cvs.texinfo (Remote repositories): add info about access
3907 methods; fix pserver info.
