1825 with an xref to "Merging adds and removals" for the long explanation
1827 2000-11-13 Derek Price <derek.price@openavenue.com>
1829 * cvs.texinfo: use '@sc{cvs}' instead of 'CVS' in various locations
1831 2000-11-08 Derek Price <derek.price@openavenue.com>
1833 * cvs.texinfo (settitle): stick a 'v' in front of the version number
1834 to make it harder to confuse with chapter, section, and page numbers.
1836 2000-11-08 Derek Price <derek.price@openavenue.com>
1838 * cvs.texinfo (settitle): add the version number to the title string
1839 so that it is easier to find on HTML pages and the like.
1841 2000-10-20 Jim Kingdon <http://sourceforge.net/users/kingdon/>
1843 * cvs.texinfo (Variables): Document CVS_USER.

1848 a password in the repository name when performaing a checkout.
1850 2000-10-17 Derek Price <derek.price@openavenue.com>
1852 * cvs.texinfo (Remote repositories, password authenticated, GSSAPI
1853 authenticated, Kerberos authenticated, Environment variables):
1854 Documented CVSROOT spec change & CVS_CLIENT_PORT.
1856 2000-10-10 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1858 * cvs.texinfo (Connection): Add additional notes about common
1859 pserver error messages. Remove information about unsetting $HOME
1860 since CVS no longer pays any attention to it in server mode.
1862 2000-09-07 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1864 * Makefile.in: Use @bindir@, @libdir@, @infodir@, and @mandir@
1867 2000-08-21 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1869 * cvs.texinfo (Removing directories, export): Note that export always
1870 prunes directories and remove references to the non-existent -P flag.
1872 2000-07-28 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1874 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Ensure that all rootless requests say
1875 that they're rootless.
1877 2000-07-12 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1879 * cvs.texinfo (Module program options): Remove note that commit and
1880 update programs only working locally; they've worked client/server
1881 for quite some time.
1883 2000-07-10 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1885 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Document new version command.

1903 2000-05-19 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1905 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Note that Global_option is now
1908 2000-04-17 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1910 * cvs.texinfo (Variables): Clarify what USER means in pserver.
1912 2000-03-08 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>

1921 2000-02-21 K.J. Paradise <kj@sourcegear.com>
1923 * cvs.texinfo : Adding John Cavanaugh's patch to allow
1924 the history file to log actions based on the CVSROOT/config
1925 file. (To limit which cvs actions actually make it into the
1928 2000-02-17 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1930 * cvs.texinfo: Remove references to PreservePermissions.
1932 * cvs.texinfo (history options): Note default report type.
1934 2000-01-18 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>

1940 * cvs.texinfo: Minor editorial changes from Ken Foskey
1941 <waratah@zip.com.au>.
1943 2000-01-11 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1945 * cvs.texinfo: Add index entries for "Compression" and "Gzip".
1946 Correct typography in many index entries (English phrases should
1947 have initial caps, subcommands/files/etc. should be as-is).
1949 2000-01-10 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1951 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): correctly describe CVSROOT/loginfo's
1952 %-expansion behavior. Thanks to Karl Heinz Marbaise
1953 <kama@hippo.fido.de> for noticing the error.
1955 2000-01-07 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1957 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Use -f in example
1959 (Connection): Add advice about using shell script or env to avoid
1960 problems with inetd setting HOME in the server's environment.
1961 (various): Use @file for inetd.conf.
1963 2000-01-02 John P Cavanaugh <cavanaug@sr.hp.com>
1965 * cvs.texinfo: document new -C option to update, now that it works
1966 both remotely and locally.
1967 (Re-applied by Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>.)
1969 1999-12-11 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1971 * Revert previous change -- it doesn't work remotely yet.
1973 1999-12-10 John P Cavanaugh <cavanaug@sr.hp.com>
1975 * cvs.texinfo: document new -C option to update.
1976 (Applied by Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>.)
1978 1999-11-20 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1980 * cvs.texinfo(history options): Document -f, -n, and -z.
1982 1999-11-09 Jim Kingdon <http://developer.redhat.com/>
1984 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Document the arguments to "log", now
1985 that I've changed log.c to be more specific in terms of what it
1988 1999-11-05 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
1990 * cvs.texinfo: Revert Karl's change once again since the code is now
1991 fixed. Add "Variables" and "User variables" to index.
1993 1999-11-04 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
1995 * log.c (log_usage): Revert Jim Kingdon's reversion of my change
1996 of 1999-11-03. Allowing a space between option and argument
1997 results in lossage; here is a reproduction recipe: run this from
1998 the top of a remote copy of the cvs source tree
2000 cvs log -d '>1999-03-01' > log-out.with-space
2002 and then run this (note there's no space after -d now):
2004 cvs log -d'>1999-03-01' > log-out.no-space
2006 The resulting files differ; furthermore, a glance at the output of
2007 cvs shows that the first command failed to recurse into
2008 subdirectories. Until this misbehavior can be fixed in the source
2009 code, the documentation should reflect the true state of affairs:
2010 if one simply omits the space, everything works fine.
2012 1999-11-04 Jim Kingdon <http://developer.redhat.com/>
2014 * cvs.texinfo (log options): Revert Karl's change regarding -d and
2015 -s. A space is allowed (see sanity.sh for example).
2017 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): The name of the
2018 file is "passwd" not "password".
2020 * cvsclient.texi (Top): Add @dircategory and @direntry.
2022 1999-11-04 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
2024 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server, Password
2025 authentication client): Rewritten to accommodate the [new]
2026 possibility of empty passwords.
2028 1999-11-03 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
2030 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): correct documentation for -d and -s
2031 options (as did elsewhere, earlier today).
2033 1999-11-03 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
2035 * cvs.texinfo (Setting a watch): describe `watch off' behavior
2038 1999-11-03 Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>
2040 * cvs.texinfo (log options): correct documentation for -d and -s
2041 options. There can be no space between these options and their
2044 Also, make sure all @sc{cvs} codes refer to "cvs" in lower case;
2045 this avoids makeinfo warnings. And use @code for the CVSEDITOR
2046 environment variable, not @sc.
2048 1999-09-24 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
2050 * cvs.texinfo: Misc. formatting cleanups.
2052 1999-07-16 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2054 * cvs.texinfo (admin): Mention admin -k exception. Add cvsadmin
2057 1999-07-14 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
2059 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Note inetd limits
2060 and suggest using shell script to avoid.
2062 1999-06-01 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2064 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): For the import command, the
2065 repository given to the Directory requests is ignored.
2067 1999-05-27 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2069 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify that Modified, Is-modified,
2070 Notify and Unchanged must specify a file within the current
2073 1999-05-24 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2075 * cvs.texinfo (checkoutlist): New node, contains more complete
2076 documentation of this feature.
2077 (CVSROOT storage): Refer to the new node when mentioning
2079 (Administrative files): Update the menu entry for Wrappers.
2081 1999-05-17 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2083 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): For Notify request, strike duplicate
2084 "Response expected: no" and fix "a edit" -> "an edit".
2086 1999-05-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2088 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Try to be more clear
2089 about the conflict field.
2091 1999-05-11 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2093 * cvs.texinfo (config): Use comma after @xref (thanks to Pavel
2094 Roskin for the report/fix).
2096 1999-05-10 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2098 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Document restrictions on characters
2101 1999-05-04 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2103 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication security): Remove sentence
2104 about how no one has audited pserver for holes; a lot of holes
2105 have been closed, looking for, &c, since that was written.
2106 In the summary, reword to reflect the fact that sniffing a
2107 readonly password does not imply general system access (as far as
2110 * cvs.texinfo (Connection): Also suggest inetd -d.
2112 1999-04-28 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2114 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Say what goes in the "watches" field
2115 of the "Notify" request.
2117 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): -r is for branches too.
2119 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "no such tag" message.
2120 (Common options): -f does not override val-tags check.
2122 1999-04-26 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2124 * cvs.texinfo (Locks): #cvs.rfl locks must start with "#cvs.rfl."
2125 not just "#cvs.rfl". As far as I know CVS has always implemented
2126 the former behavior, and this just fixes the documentation.
2128 1999-04-23 Yoshiki Hayashi of u-tokyo.ac.jp
2130 * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): Correct wrong file name (bugid.edit ->
2133 1999-04-22 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2135 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): The text in the "M" response is not
2136 designed for machine parsing. Likewise for "error" in regular
2137 protocol. Likewise for "E" and "error" in authentication protocol.
2139 1999-04-19 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2141 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "Cannot check out files into
2142 the repository itself".
2144 1999-04-16 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2146 * cvs.texinfo (Other problems): Add the Windows problem with home
2147 directory ending in a slash.
2149 1999-04-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2151 * cvs.texinfo (CVS in repository): Include the format of the
2152 fileattr file here, rather than referring to the CVS source code.
2154 1999-04-09 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2156 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Whether the timestamp
2157 in CVS/Entries is local or universal actually depends on the system.
2159 1999-04-05 Derek Price
2160 <http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/resume.html>
2162 * cvs.texinfo (export options): Remove notation that the -r
2163 tag is sticky. 'cvs export' doesn't store that data.
2165 1999-04-08 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2167 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "EOF in RCS file" and
2168 "unexpected EOF" (in RCS file) messages.
2170 1999-03-25 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2172 * cvs.texinfo (admin options): Say there can be no space between
2173 -e and its argument (since the previous sentence said the argument
2174 can be omitted, this is the only possibility).
2176 1999-02-26 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2178 * cvs.texinfo (Merging and keywords): When including conflict
2179 markers, put @asis{} at the start of the line, in case this file
2180 itself is in CVS. Thanks to Derek Price for pointing this out.
2182 1999-02-25 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2184 * cvs.texinfo: Refer to "keywords" not "RCS keywords". We had
2185 only used the latter term in a few places, and it seems like a
2186 somewhat odd term in that this style of keyword is by no means
2188 (Merging a branch): Remove spurious ")". Use ref, not xref, after
2190 (Merging a branch, Substitution modes): Make sure that @ref is
2191 followed by comma, since info wants that.
2192 (Merging and keywords): Use samp not code for "-kk". Something of
2193 a judgement call, but the rest of the manual uses samp and that
2195 (Merging and keywords): Rewrite, to (a) better motivate the
2196 discussion based on what the user wants to do, (b) fix up lots of
2197 convoluted sentences, (c) move the discussion of the binary files
2198 to the end, that is get across the basic idea first and then
2199 embellish it. Remove a few unnecessary index entries. Expand
2200 example. Just tell people to avoid -kk with binary files (comment
2201 out the discussion of using -A after the commit).
2203 1999-01-29 Derek Price
2204 <http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/resume.html>
2206 * cvs.texinfo: Added new node/section on merging and keywords. It
2207 contains advice on how to avoid RCS keyword conflicts when merging
2208 and avoid corrupting your binary files while doing it.
2210 1999-02-24 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2212 * cvsclient.texi (Request intro): Add paragraph about transmitting
2213 more than one command.
2215 1999-01-29 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2217 * cvs.texinfo: Use EXAMPLE.COM EXAMPLE.ORG and EXAMPLE.NET instead
2218 of domains which might conflict with actual (current or future)
2219 domains. The EXAMPLE domains are registered for this purpose.
2221 1999-01-22 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2223 * cvs.texinfo (Sticky tags): Refer to -j as the better way to undo
2225 (Merging two revisions): Also talk about undoing removals and
2226 adds. Move the index entries to here.
2228 1999-01-21 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2230 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "waiting for USER's lock".
2232 1999-01-16 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2234 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Comment out all the -t/-f documentation,
2235 since that feature is currently disabled.
2237 1999-01-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2239 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Add some more index entries so
2240 that people who want to use SSH and such are slightly less lost.
2242 1999-01-12 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2244 * cvs-paper.ms: Remove comments which contained the FSF's old
2245 address; it has changed.
2247 1998-12-29 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2249 * cvsclient.texi (Dates): Numeric timezones are preferred.
2250 Also mention the Checkin-time request.
2252 1998-12-23 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
2254 * RCSFILES: Add clarification about certain character set issues
2255 from Paul Eggert, the RCS maintainer. The last paragraph and the
2256 change from Shift-JIS to JIS as an example of a character set
2257 which contains 0x40 bytes which are not '@' characters are mine;
2258 the rest is directly from Paul Eggert.
2260 1998-12-22 Martin Buchholz <martin@xemacs.org>
2262 * cvs.texinfo: Fixed various trivial typos.
2264 1998-12-17 Jim Kingdon
2266 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Explicitly say that Mod-time need
2267 not be sent for all files.
2269 1998-12-16 Jim Kingdon
2271 Thanks to Ram Rajadhyaksha of the MacCVS Pro team for raising the
2273 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): The deal about storing
2274 files as text files applies to all the CVS/* files, not just
2275 CVS/Entries. State the rationale too.
2276 Document CVSROOT/Emptydir in CVS/Repository.
2277 There is no set order in CVS/Entries.
2278 Explicitly say that writing Entries.Log is optional.
2280 1998-12-03 Jim Kingdon
2282 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "unrecognized auth response".
2283 (Password authentication server): Remove comment about
2284 "unrecognized auth response" and link to the troubleshooting
2287 1998-12-02 Jim Kingdon
2289 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): Add an example.
2291 1998-11-18 Jim Kingdon
2293 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Change "-r tag" to "-r rev". We
2294 already use "tag" as the name of the tag we are adding.
2296 1998-11-13 Jim Kingdon
2298 * cvs.texinfo (CVS commands): Add comment about whether part of
2299 the manual should be organized by command.
2301 1998-11-06 Jim Kingdon
2303 Clean up various confusions between modules and directories:
2304 * cvs.texinfo: In "are you sure you want to release" message,
2305 change module to directory. CVS was changed some time ago.
2306 (Tags): "working copy of the module" -> "working directory".
2307 (Merging two revisions): Remove unnecessary text "that make up a
2309 (Recursive behavior): Change "module" to "directory".
2310 (Removing files): Likewise.
2311 (Tracking sources): Remove "a module" from titles.
2312 (Moving directories): Change "module" to "parent-dir".
2313 (Inside): Remove "of the module".
2314 (Inside): Change "module" to "dir".
2315 (Rename by copying): Change "module" to "dir".
2316 (Rename by copying): Remove "of the module".
2317 (Moving directories): "copy of the module" -> "checked out copy of
2318 the directory"; remove second "of the module". Change "check out
2319 the module" to " check out again".
2320 (Moving directories): Remove "of the module".
2321 (Keyword substitution): "your working copy of a module" -> "a
2323 (CVS commands): Change "module" to "directory".
2324 (release examples): "module" -> "tc directory".
2325 (commitinfo): "relative path to the module" -> "directory in the
2327 (verifymsg): Change "module" to "directory".
2328 (Updating a file): "working copy of a module" -> "working directory".
2330 1998-10-25 Jim Kingdon
2332 * cvs.texinfo (Branches and revisions): Fix error in branch
2333 numbering which was introduced with change of 4 May 1997.
2335 1998-10-20 Jim Kingdon
2337 * cvs.texinfo (Tags): Point to Invoking CVS node so people aren't
2338 left wondering what the syntax is. When introducing -r option,
2339 warn people about sticky tags right off.
2340 (Tagging the working directory, Tagging by date/tag, Modifying
2341 tags, Tagging add/remove): New sections.
2342 (Invoking CVS): Adjust tag and rtag to point to the new sections,
2343 and to add tag -c which had been omitted. Delete tag -n; there is
2345 (rtag, tag): Removed; no longer needed.
2346 (commit examples): Update xref.
2348 1998-10-15 Jim Kingdon
2350 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): It is OK to send Set before Root.
2352 1998-10-13 Jim Kingdon
2354 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Remove item about "cvs update"
2355 sending modified files to the server; there are some better ideas
2356 at http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/dev-update.txt
2357 Add mention of www.cyclic.com.
2359 1998-09-30 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2361 * cvs.texinfo (Committing your changes, Environment variables):
2364 1998-09-27 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2366 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Say explicitly
2367 that you edit passwd directly, many users get confused by this.
2369 1998-09-24 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2371 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via fork): :fork: may be of interest to
2372 users, for example those who prefer CVS to prompt for one log
2373 message per checkin, rather than one per directory.
2374 (Connecting via fork): Document CVS_SERVER.
2376 1998-09-24 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
2378 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via fork): new node about the fork
2381 1998-09-22 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2383 * cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Document
2384 CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT in the CVS 1.10 context.
2385 (Moving a repository): Update comments concerning surgery on
2386 CVS/Root and CVS/Repository files.
2388 1998-09-21 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
2390 * cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): remove information about
2391 CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT, since it's no longer used.
2393 1998-09-21 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2395 * cvs.texinfo (config): Mention that CVS 1.10 doesn't have
2398 1998-09-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2400 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Describe $Name and checking out with
2403 1998-09-16 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2405 * cvs.texinfo: RFC2346 is out; update comment.
2407 1998-09-13 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2409 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword list, Substitution modes): In describing
2410 $Locker and -kkvl, refer to cvs admin -l.
2412 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Re-word description of Sticky to
2413 allow room for "Ntagname" (or other, future, values).
2415 * cvs.texinfo (tag): Remove confusing wording about supplying
2416 revision numbers "implicitly".
2418 1998-09-10 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2420 * cvs.texinfo (rdiff options): Thanks to the diff library, -u is
2421 supported regardless of your diff program.
2423 1998-09-07 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2425 * cvs.texinfo (config): Add LockDir.
2427 1998-09-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2429 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): "Directory" and "Argument" are
2430 requests, not commands. Likewise for "other-request". A command,
2431 roughly, is a request that uses "Argument"s, but we might want to
2432 phase out the use of that term more so than codify it, I'm not sure.
2434 1998-09-01 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
2436 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): added a detailed explanation of the
2437 Directory request and how it is handled, both for pre-1.10 and
2440 1998-09-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2442 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): Also describe the CVS 1.10
2443 behavior. Looking at a mismatched version of the manual seems to
2444 be a reasonably common occurrence.
2446 * cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Revert change regarding
2447 CVS_SERVER_SLEEP*; having that kind of debugging code in the main
2448 CVS is getting out of hand.
2450 1998-09-01 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
2452 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): brief mention that cvs now
2453 handles a working directory composed of multiple repositories.
2454 (Environment variables): add note about CVS_SERVER_SLEEP2.
2456 1998-08-21 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
2458 * cvsclient.texi (Text tags): Document importmergecmd tag.
2460 1998-08-20 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2462 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Replace out of date URL concerning
2463 ISO8601 dates with a more general statement and a few comments.
2465 1998-08-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2467 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add "Checkin-time" request.
2469 Sun Jul 26 02:42:20 1998 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
2471 * cvs.texinfo (config): TopLevelAdmin variable.
2473 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): fix typo.
2475 1998-07-14 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2477 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): "remove" is like "add" in the sense
2478 that it is the "ci" request which does most of the work.
2480 1998-06-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2482 * cvs.texinfo (Excluding directories): Fix order of
2483 "!first-dir/sdir" and "first-dir" to match what CVS actually
2484 accepts. Reported by Tim McIntosh of sterling.com.
2486 1998-06-09 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2488 * cvs.texinfo (Using keywords): Rewrite to be less specific to
2489 source code in C. The old text was worse than that; it was
2490 specific to certain versions of GCC (not even current GCC's, I
2491 don't think) (reported most recently by Mitchell Perilstein;
2492 if memory serves by others before that).
2494 1998-06-08 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2496 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): Also mention #cvs.lock. Don't
2497 mention #cvs.tfl; it is quite old (before CVS 1.5).
2498 (Locks, Backing up, Concurrency): Add more index entries.
2500 1998-06-03 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
2502 * cvs.texinfo (Tracking sources): Clarify that the vendor branch
2503 is only made the head revision when you import a new file, not any
2504 time you import a file.
2506 1998-05-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2508 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): info-cvs-request is now at gnu.org
2509 and is no longer handled by a human (hallelujah).
2511 1998-05-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@ascend.com>
2513 * cvs.texinfo: Add an info dir entry.
2514 Remove trailing white space.
2516 1998-05-05 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2518 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Be more explicit that -m 'COPY' has no
2519 effect on binary files.
2521 1998-05-02 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2523 * RCSFILES: Add more discussion of the order of the revisions.
2525 1998-04-27 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2527 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo example): Also give example of sending
2528 mail. Use internal variable $USER rather than expecting CVS to
2529 set the environment variable $USER. Change unnecessary 'sed'
2530 invocation to 'cat' (it suffered from the same problem in terms of
2531 internal variables versus environment variables).
2533 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "conflict: removed FILE was
2534 modified by second party".
2536 1998-04-20 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2538 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Update comment about meaning of
2541 1998-04-12 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2543 * cvsclient.texi (Dates): Also mention log -d.
2545 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): No space is allowed between -r or -w
2546 and its argument, for the log command.
2548 1998-04-11 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2550 * cvsclient.texi (Dates): New section, explaining the deal with
2553 1998-04-09 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2555 * cvs.texinfo (Global options, Invoking CVS): Fix typo
2556 ("files files" -> "files").
2557 (Invoking CVS): Make -q and -Q more concise.
2558 (Invoking CVS): Use @var for metavariables in "diff -r".
2560 1998-03-17 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2562 * cvs.texinfo (~/.cvsrc): In example, put "checkout" rather than
2563 "co" into .cvsrc; we just finished explaining that only the former
2564 works! Thanks to Lenny Foner for reporting this.
2566 * cvs.texinfo (Copying): Remove this node. This basically
2567 restores the status quo prior to 18 Oct 1996 (before then the node
2568 existed but was empty).
2569 (before Top): Adjust copyright notice accordingly.
2571 1998-03-12 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2573 * RCSFILES: Updated description of `hardlinks' newphrases.
2575 1998-03-07 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2577 * cvs.texinfo (Tags, Sticky tags, Creating a branch, Accessing
2578 branches): Rename release-0-1 tag to rel-0-1 and likewise for
2579 release-0-1-patches and release-0-4. This fixes an overfull hbox.
2580 (diff options): Reformat table to fix underfull hboxes and such.
2582 1998-03-07 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2584 * cvs.texinfo (Editing files, Special Files): Document hardlinks.
2585 Various cleanups to PreservePermissions text.
2586 * RCSFILES: Document PreservePermissions newphrases.
2588 1998-03-04 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2590 * cvs.texinfo (Special Files): Add notes about client/server CVS
2591 and hard links across directories.
2593 1998-03-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2595 * cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): The magic loginfo
2596 incantation isn't too likely to work except on unix.
2598 1998-02-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2600 * cvs.texinfo (user-defined logging): Double "@" literal.
2602 1998-02-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2604 * cvs.texinfo (user-defined logging): Add taginfo example.
2606 1998-02-04 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2608 * cvs.texinfo (config): PreservePermissions variable.
2609 (Special Files): New.

2614 * cvs.texinfo (Connection): New node.
2616 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol): Fix typo (lots -> lost).
2618 Sun Feb 8 21:39:22 1998 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2620 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): For admin -b, point to the section
2621 where we talk about reverting to vendor branch.
2623 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS, rdiff options): Document rdiff -V
2624 option as obsolete, since it was made a fatal error some time ago.
2626 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Add global options, keywords, and
2627 keyword substitution modes. Wording fix in reference to --help
2630 Wed Jan 28 23:09:39 1998 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2632 * cvs.texinfo (Excluding directories): Add index entry for "!".
2634 28 Jan 1998 Karl Fogel and Jim Kingdon
2636 * cvsclient.texi (Requests, Responses): document
2637 "wrapper-sendme-rcsOptions" and "Wrapper-rcsOption".

2650 * cvs.texinfo (BUGS, Credits): Change @unnumbered to @appendix now
2651 that these are moved from the start to the end.

2655 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "Too many arguments!".
2657 Fri Dec 26 18:30:26 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2659 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Just point to the two canonical web
2660 sites (Pascal Molli and Cyclic) concerning CVS downloads. The GNU
2661 URL was out of date and GNU only has source distributions anyway.
2663 * cvs.texinfo: Change bug-cvs address to gnu.org per email from
2666 Tue Dec 23 18:04:09 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2668 * cvs.texinfo (Sticky tags): Further cleanups. Fix thinko
2669 (s/subsequent cvs update/& commands/). Remove "vi driver.c" and
2670 commit from example (totally vestigial). Reword start of
2671 paragraph on non-branch sticky tags, so that it better alludes
2672 to branch sticky tags. When introducing sticky tags, make it
2673 clear that even people who aren't trying to use sticky tags
2674 may need to know how to avoid them. Restore comment about
2676 (Accessing branches): Don't xref to merging here; that is a much
2677 more advanced topic and the "but see" wording didn't tell us what
2678 to see the xref about.
2680 Tue Dec 23 14:39:08 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2683 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a branch): Rewritten. Introduce with
2684 `tag', then discuss `rtag' and `-r'.
2686 Tue Dec 23 10:03:37 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2689 * cvs.texinfo: Changes to dehairify the "Sticky tags" situation:
2690 (Revisions): "Sticky tags" moved here, description in menu changed
2691 to be a little more informative.
2692 (Sticky tags): Moved from "Branching and merging" to "Revisions".
2693 (Accessing branches): New node in "Branching and merging",
2694 explains how to use checkout vs update to retrieve a branch.
2695 Text and example inherited from "Sticky tags", but text mostly
2697 (Sticky tags): Moved under "Revisions", rewritten somewhat (more
2698 rewrites to follow).
2699 Don't use "-v" in "cvs status" example.
2701 Mon Dec 22 11:46:05 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2704 Cleanups related to recent separation of revisions from
2706 * cvs.texinfo (Revisions): Take paragraph introducing branches,
2707 rewrite it and move it to "Branching and merging".
2708 (Branching and merging): Also rewrite merging intro.
2709 (Revision numbers): Don't go into detail about branch revision
2710 numbers here, just mention that they happen and refer to new
2711 node "Branches and revisions".
2712 (Branches and revisions): New node under "Branching and merging",
2713 inherits text from "Revision numbers".
2714 (Creating a branch): Refer to "Branches and revisions" now, not
2716 (Binary why): Rewrite sentence which refers to merging, so that
2717 it isn't specific to branch merging.
2718 (Branches motivation): Fix typo (select -> elect). Add comment
2719 about what this node is accomplishing, in general.
2721 Sun Dec 21 20:57:24 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2724 This is just moving text; related cleanups to follow.
2725 * cvs.texinfo: Changes to put branching and merging together, and
2726 keep it all separate from revisions:
2727 (Revisions): Renamed from "Revisions and branches".
2728 (Branching and merging): Renamed from "Merging".
2729 (Branches motivation, Creating a branch, Sticky tags, Magic branch
2730 numbers): these subnodes moved to "Branching and merging" from
2732 everywhere: Adjusted cross-references to cope with above.
2734 Sun Dec 21 20:36:39 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com>
2737 Note that this is just moving text, not changing it:
2738 * cvs.texinfo: divide top-level menu into sections.
2739 (Multiple developers, Builds, Tracking sources, Keyword
2740 substitution): moved to be in "CVS and the Real World" section.

2770 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): State that
2771 GSSAPI is preferred to kserver. Try to be clearer about what
2772 the term "pserver" means. Introduce GSSAPI and cite the relevant
2773 RFCs. Discuss the limitations of the existing features in
2774 preventing hijacking.
2776 * cvs.texinfo (GSSAPI authenticated, Kerberos authenticated):
2777 Briefly introduce what GSSAPI and Kerberos are. Be slightly more
2778 emphatic about protecting against downgrade attacks.

2838 different meaning than most.
2840 Wed Nov 12 21:57:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2842 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions, Connecting via rsh, Environment
2843 variables): When putting an environment variable in the index, say
2844 it is an environment variable. Don't index the same name twice.
2846 * cvs.texinfo: Many edits to reflect the fact that CVS no longer
2847 invokes external RCS programs.
2849 Tue Nov 11 15:15:49 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2851 * cvs.texinfo (Locks, CVS in repository): New nodes, document the
2852 locking scheme and briefly outline CVS and CVS/fileattr.
2854 Sun Nov 9 17:39:41 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2856 * DIFFUTILS-2.7-BUG: Removed; the bug is fixed and the testcases
2857 are incorporated into sanity.sh.
2859 Sat Nov 8 09:49:38 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2861 * cvs.texinfo (Binary why): Try to be a little clearer about how
2862 merges fit into CVS. Say it may be error prone to have developers
2863 doing merges manually.

2887 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "authorization failed" message.
2889 Wed Oct 29 11:52:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

2892 while ago. Cleanups suggested by Stephen Gildea (CVSROOT/passwd
2893 has 2 or 3 fields; /user -> /usr; noone -> no one; in used -> in
2894 use). Add comment about making compilers happy about rcsids.
2896 Sat Oct 25 00:58:24 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
2898 * RCSFILES: rcsfile.5 is correct about {num} after next being

2909 flags really work. Give examples.
2910 (export options): refer the reader to the descriptions for `-d'

3112 concerning unknown -x option.

3281 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Add "E" and
3282 "error" as responses in authentication protocol. The server

3415 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword substitution): Where it refers to RCS
3416 having a certain behavior, rewrite to not pass the buck like

3435 writing triggers and particularly performance issues.
3437 * cvs.texinfo (rtag options, tag options): Don't discuss what old

3441 tags" and such pointing to "tag -F".

3476 by Jim Kingdon to reflect recent changes in cvs.texinfo)
3478 Sun May 4 14:38:35 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3480 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about "D" lines in
3483 * cvs.texinfo (CVS commands, diff): Change "run diffs" to "show
3484 differences"; the former is jargon.
3485 (CVS commands): Don't refer to "rlog" in describing what log does.
3487 * Makefile.in (cvsclient.dvi cvsclient.aux): Run texi2dvi rather
3488 than (poorly) emulating it ourself.
3490 Fix overfull and underfull hboxes:
3491 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Add words "the newsgroup" before
3492 "comp.sources.unix".
3493 (Credits): Put list of people in @display.
3494 (Repository files): Put /usr/local/cvsroot in @example.
3495 (Connecting via rsh): Change "anklet" to "toe" in example.
3496 (Kerberos authenticated, Password authentication client, Password
3497 authentication server): Change "brickyard" to "yard" in example.
3498 (Read-only access): Use @example and refer to files with a shorter
3500 (Server temporary directory): Use @example for pathname.
3501 (Watches Compatibility): Add phony line break.
3502 (Revision numbers): Remove revision 1.2.2.2 and tighten up the
3503 spacing for "the main trunk".
3504 (Tags, Creating a branch): Change /usr/local/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot.
3505 (Merging more than once): Tighten up spacing for "the main trunk".
3506 (Recursive behavior): Put long command in @example.
3507 (First import): Remove word "called".
3508 (Common options): Put long URL in @example.
3509 (loginfo example): Use fewer hyphens in example.
3510 (Variables): Put long command name in @example.
3511 (Copying): Add line break.
3512 (Administrative files): Remove "the" from title.
3513 (Copying): Change "@unnumberedsec" to two "@heading"s.
3514 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Change /home/kingdon/zwork/cvsroot to
3516 (Example): Add word "file".
3517 (Example): Change line breaks in example log message.
3518 (Example): Change /home/kingdon/testing/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot.
3520 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Don't refer to appendix A and B, they
3521 have been renumbered. Reword so that it works whether the text in
3522 question has since been rewritten or not.
3524 * cvs.texinfo (BUGS): Rewrite to reflect the many different ways
3525 that one might want to handle bugs. Move information on Signum
3526 and Cyclic from Preface to here. Remove information on known
3527 deficiencies in the manual (some of them I'm not sure were really
3528 things in need of improvement; others were too general to be
3529 useful). For the most part FIXME comments are probably better for
3530 this. Remove "Linkoping, October 1993, Per Cederqvist"--many
3531 parts of the manual are now from other people, dates, and places.
3532 (What is CVS): For the most part, just refer to BUGS concerning
3533 bug-cvs. Also tell people how to subscribe to bug-cvs.
3534 (Credits): Say that list is not comprehensive and refer to
3537 Sat May 3 10:51:58 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3539 * cvs.texinfo (rcsinfo): Add comment about checkoutlist and
3542 * cvs.texinfo (Server temporary directory): New node.
3544 * cvs.texinfo (Backing up): New node.
3546 * cvs.texinfo (Repository): Be more explicit about the repository
3547 and the working directory not being subdirectories of each other.
3549 Mon Apr 28 11:12:56 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3551 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Use "*.c" not "?.c" in example;
3552 the former should be good for both unix and DOS-like operating
3553 systems. Document -f option. Refer to Invoking CVS for a full
3554 list of options. Add a few comments.
3556 * cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): For checkout and update, call them
3557 "sticky options" not "sticky kopts".
3559 * cvs.texinfo (Editing files): Add additional comments on get
3562 Sun Apr 27 16:17:06 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3564 * cvs.texinfo (commit): Only document the current flags (where -f
3565 is force and -F file gets the message from a log file). We had
3566 partly made this change on 9 Feb 1997, but some places got missed.
3568 * RCSFILES: Add discussion of the common concern regarding
3569 applying deltas to get to a branch head.
3571 * DIFFUTILS-2.7-BUG: New file.
3573 * cvs.texinfo (File status): Refer to "Invoking CVS", not
3574 "status", for status options. Add paragraph about how "cvs -n -q
3575 update" is another way to display file status.
3576 (update examples): Removed; it had contained the "cvs -n -q
3578 (Invoking CVS): xref to "File status" and "Tags", not "status" and
3580 (status, status options): Removed.
3581 (update options, checkout options): xref to "Invoking CVS"
3584 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify how long-lived Sticky and
3585 Static-directory are.
3587 * cvs.texinfo: Add @finalout.
3589 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "cannot change permissions on
3590 temporary directory" message.
3592 Wed Apr 23 12:53:45 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3594 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Document "add" in much more detail.
3596 Wed Apr 23 00:38:17 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3598 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Correct small typo (`a' for `as').
3600 Tue Apr 22 14:23:32 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3602 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Expand ideas on multisite
3603 features somewhat. Add items about the network turnarounds for
3604 pserver authentication and for protocol negotiation.
3606 Mon Apr 21 08:54:48 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3608 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Describe what to do
3609 with Entries.Log in more detail.
3611 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Say "CVS 1.9 and earlier" rather
3612 than "pre version 1.10". The latter increases confusion by
3613 referring to a version which doesn't exist yet.
3615 Mon Apr 21 01:02:53 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3617 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Document Rcs-diff. Indicate that
3618 Patched is now deprecated in favor of Rcs-diff.
3620 Sun Apr 20 23:42:03 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3622 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Add note about format
3623 of timestamp and the "Result of merge" concept.
3625 Sat Apr 19 13:42:33 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3627 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): It is OK for Copy-file to implement
3628 a rename instead of a copy.
3630 Fri Apr 18 12:05:48 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3632 * cvs.texinfo (Assigning revisions): Say that -r implies -f.
3634 Thu Apr 17 16:34:14 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3636 * cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): Add comment
3637 about CMZ and PATCHY.
3639 Wed Apr 16 12:35:25 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3641 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Add paragraph describing how
3642 Copy-file relates to Merged.
3643 (Responses): Add paragraph about how it is the server which
3644 worries about not clobbering the user's file.
3646 Tue Apr 15 00:57:31 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3648 * RCSFILES: Add notes on keyword expansion.
3650 * cvs.texinfo (Rename by copying): Comment out seemingly erroneous
3651 text regarding the revision number that the new file starts with.
3653 Mon Apr 14 12:37:35 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3655 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clients should try to send
3656 notifications right away.
3658 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): For Notify request, clarify a few
3659 future expansion situations. Specify the format of the time.
3661 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify that arguments to co, rdiff,
3662 and rtag are module names (and how that differs from file/directory
3665 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Say that servers need to create
3666 directories one at a time.
3668 Sat Apr 12 09:32:58 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3670 * cvs.texinfo (Committing your changes): Say that editor default
3671 is notepad (not vi) for Windows NT/95. Be more clear about what
3672 "cvs commit" does. Add paragraph about timestamps.
3673 (Environment variables, Global options, editinfo):
3674 Add xrefs to that node.
3676 Thu Apr 10 15:48:39 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3678 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "could not patch; will refetch".
3680 Wed Apr 9 15:21:11 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3682 * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): New node.
3684 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add comment about "cvs co ." on
3687 Tue Apr 8 14:44:26 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3689 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add diff3 usage message.
3691 Sun Apr 6 19:03:01 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3693 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Add comment about undoing a "cvs
3696 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Explicitly mention the idea of
3697 deferring "Notify" requests.
3699 Tue Apr 1 07:51:38 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3701 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Add paragraph about directory
3702 creation and empty directories.
3704 * cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add comment about binary files and
3707 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add discussion of when to send
3710 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Sending Is-modified is enough to
3711 prevent the file from being considered "lost".
3713 Sun Mar 30 00:31:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3715 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add Is-modified request. Clarify
3716 order of Entry relative to Unchanged or Is-modified (might as well
3717 specify the same thing vis-a-vis Modified while we are at it).
3719 Sat Mar 29 12:32:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3721 * cvsclient.texi: Change "newline" to "linefeed". Most of the
3722 document already reads "linefeed" and that is what is intended.
3723 (File transmissions): New node, moved here from Requests.
3724 (Goals, Filenames, File transmissions, new node Strings): Add
3725 discussion of character sets and what we expect from the transport
3728 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add paragraph about each Directory
3729 request specifying a new local-directory and repository.
3731 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add paragraph about renaming
3732 local-directory in Directory request. Use "local-directory"
3733 consistently instead of "working directory", for clarity.
3735 Fri Mar 28 13:59:59 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3737 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Make it clear that there is no
3738 guarantee that one will get Clear-sticky instead of another
3739 response. Also clarify that clients will tend to store the
3740 repository in a long-term way.
3742 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Further clarify Directory example.
3744 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add example and further explanation
3745 of what expand-modules is for.
3747 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add example, hopefully making it
3748 clearer what REPOSITORY and LOCAL-DIRECTORY mean to Directory.
3750 * cvs.texinfo (Attic): New node.
3751 (rtag options): Adjust discussion of -a accordingly.
3752 (Repository files): Adjust accordingly.
3754 Thu Mar 27 09:57:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3756 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Give exact wording of broken pipe
3759 * cvs.texinfo (history database): Add comment about various
3760 problems with the history file.
3762 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): The ISO8601 web page we had
3763 mentioned in a comment is no more. Replace it with a new one.
3765 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): "cvs history" also outputs dates.
3767 Wed Mar 26 10:54:21 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3769 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): "cvs editors" also outputs dates.
3771 * cvs.texinfo (Outside): Fix paragraph which said that revision
3772 numbers start at 1.0. First of all, it is 1.1. Second of all, it
3773 is sometimes 2.1, 3.1, etc. Third of all, the xref should be to
3774 Assigning revisions not commit options.
3776 * cvs.texinfo (Outside): Comment out sentence which incorrectly
3777 stated that "cvs add" can operate on "foo/bar.c".
3779 Tue Mar 25 22:21:29 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3781 * cvs.texinfo (Error messages): New node.
3782 (Magic branch numbers): Move from Troubleshooting to Revisions and
3783 branches. The former placement never made any sense to me.
3784 (Revision numbers): Remove "Main trunk (intro)" index entry now
3785 that this node is right next to the other "main trunk" index
3787 (BUGS): Very briefly mention reporting bugs in CVS.
3789 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about "Nfoo" in CVS/Tag.
3791 Mon Mar 24 13:50:24 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3793 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a branch): Add comment about -r in branch
3796 * cvsclient.texi (Responses): Discuss meaning of tagspec and
3797 future expansion in Set-sticky. The behavior described is the one
3798 which CVS has always implemented.
3800 Fri Mar 21 14:19:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3802 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Revise meaning of "Case" per change
3805 Tue Mar 18 15:50:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3807 The following reorganization hopefully presents numeric revisions
3808 in a slightly more coherent fashion. The only new material is the
3809 paragraph about assigning revisions for added files.
3810 * cvs.texinfo (A sample session): Bring in a sentence from Basic
3811 concepts node, defining a repository.
3812 (Revisions and branches): Renamed from Branches (it has always
3813 covered non-branch tags too). Bring in nodes "Revision numbers" and
3814 "Versions revisions releases" from Basic concepts, the former in
3815 particular was way too detailed for an intro section.
3816 (A sample session): Add comment about how we need an introduction
3817 and what might go into one. Also bring in the paragraph from
3818 Basic concepts introducing modules, but comment it out.
3819 (Viewing differences): Add comment about
3820 (Basic concepts): Removed; its content has been farmed out as
3821 described above, and as the comment said, it was fundamentally
3823 (Assigning revisions): New node. Incorporates the "New major
3824 release number" subsubsec which was in "commit examples". Add
3825 paragraph concerning how CVS assigns revisions on added files.
3826 (commit options): Refer to that node under -r.
3827 (Invoking CVS): Add comment about text for -r.
3829 Tue Mar 18 13:04:30 1997 Jim Meyering <meyering@totoro.cyclic.com>
3831 * Makefile.in: (install-info): Depend on installdirs.
3833 Sun Mar 16 12:37:12 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3835 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): CVSUMASK now works for RCS
3836 files; but it is (still) awkward for client/server CVS.
3838 Sat Mar 15 17:41:12 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3840 * cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Add comment about where this
3843 Thu Mar 13 09:11:36 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3845 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Fix grammatical mistake ("manual about"
3846 -> "manual is about"). Reported by Philippe De Muyter.
3848 Sun Mar 9 09:06:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3850 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Add comment about val-tags and
3853 Sun Mar 2 12:33:26 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3855 * cvs.texinfo (From scratch): Add comment about creating
3856 directories with add rather than import.
3858 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Add comment about how this
3859 somewhat duplicates Server requirements.
3861 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Add comment about rsh
3862 vs. remsh. Also wording fix ("incorrect" -> "inapplicable").
3864 * cvs.texinfo (Outside): Add comment about renames and annotate.
3866 * cvs.texinfo (Server requirements): New node.
3868 Thu Feb 27 15:20:49 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3870 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Reword section on "cvs admin
3871 -l". As nearly as I can tell based on when it came up on info-cvs
3872 and other contexts, people who are into reserved checkouts
3873 generally find that cvs admin -l is OK. Add a bunch more notes
3874 (inside @ignore) about reserved checkout implementation ideas.
3876 Sun Feb 23 16:12:03 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3878 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add various additional comments
3881 * RCSFILES: Remove diff for Id and explain it in words instead.
3882 The previous values for Id had been clobbered by keyword expansion
3883 on the RCSFILES file itself.
3885 Sat Feb 22 14:16:28 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3887 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Fix typo (missing backslash).
3889 Fri Feb 21 23:08:38 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3891 * RCSFILES: New file.
3892 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Add RCSFILES.
3894 20 Feb 1997 Lenny Foner <foner@media.mit.edu>
3896 * cvs.texinfo (Checklist): Fix typo ("keword" -> "keyword").
3898 Thu Feb 20 21:57:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3900 * cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): Add "web" to index.
3902 Wed Feb 12 18:44:16 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3904 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication client, Invoking CVS):
3905 Document "cvs logout" command.
3907 Tue Feb 11 20:42:45 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3909 * cvs.texinfo (commit options): Document that the -f option to
3910 commit disables recursion.
3912 Sun Feb 9 13:58:59 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3914 * cvs.texinfo (diff options): Document all the options we pass
3915 through to diff. Remove paragraph about -D sometimes meaning
3916 --ifdef since that is no longer true.
3918 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Add lengthy comment about
3919 reserved checkout design issues.
3921 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add paragraph about timestamps.
3923 * cvs.texinfo (commit options): Don't try to document what CVS 1.3
3924 does with -f and how recent versions differ: 1.3 is pretty old
3925 anyway, we generally only try to document the current version, and
3926 the way it was described here was pretty confusing.
3927 (Environment variables): Likewise for CVSEDITOR.
3929 * cvs.texinfo (import output): Add index entries for symbolic
3930 links. Add brief mention of whether behavior should be
3931 different. Add comments on other symbolic link issues.
3933 Wed Feb 5 13:02:37 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3935 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): Add comment about commit/commit
3938 Mon Feb 3 10:55:41 1997 joel boutros <nihilis@moral.addiction.com>
3940 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Fix typo (programs -> problems).
3942 Fri Jan 31 12:18:47 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
3944 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Correct typo
3945 (``sent'' for ``send''), and rewrite sentence for clarity.
3947 Fri Jan 24 10:31:57 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3949 * cvs.texinfo (File status): Change "Unresolved Conflict" to "File
3950 had conflicts on merge" per change to CVS.
3952 Sun Jan 19 16:21:17 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3954 * cvs.texinfo (admin): Add comments about "group" and "compiled in
3955 value". At least one info-cvs poster was confused by this.
3957 Thu Jan 16 17:54:51 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3959 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): It is just -t/-f which doesn't work
3960 client/server. -k *does* (well, except for the problem with
3961 import noted in BUGS). -m I don't know and I doubt anyone cares.
3963 Mon Jan 13 15:41:02 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@ynu38.ynu.edu.cn>
3965 * cvs.texinfo (Read-only access): rephrase to imply that there may
3966 be other administrative files, besides history and locks, which
3967 read-only users can also affect (in the future, for example, the
3970 Wed Jan 8 14:50:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3972 * Makefile.in: Remove CVSid; we decided to get rid
3973 of these some time ago.
3975 Wed Jan 8 09:08:36 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3977 * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Document
3978 restriction that cvs root sent in the cvs protocol and in the
3979 pserver authentication protocol must be identical.
3981 Thu Jan 2 13:30:56 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3983 * Makefile.in, cvs.texinfo: Remove "675" paragraph;
3984 see ../ChangeLog for rationale.
3986 Thu Jan 2 09:34:51 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@ynu38.ynu.edu.cn>
3988 * cvs.texinfo (Read-only access): new node.
3989 (Repository): new menu item for above new node.
3990 (Password authentication server): document the user-aliasing
3991 feature. Why was this undocumented before?
3993 Wed Jan 1 18:12:11 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
3995 * cvs.texinfo (Conflicts example): Use @asis in example to prevent
3996 starting a line with a conflict marker. This means that when
3997 maintaining the file with CVS itself, CVS will not think there is
3998 a conflict merely because of the conflict marker in the example.
3999 IMHO, this is totally bogus and CVS needs a better way of figuring
4000 out whether a conflict is resolved (see comments elsewhere in this
4001 node), but until then.... Credit to Fred Fish for reporting the
4004 * cvs.texinfo (cvsignore): Add paragraph about how .cvsignore
4005 files in the sources being imported by "cvs import" override
4006 "-I !". Credit goes to Fred Fish for pointing out this problem.
4008 Thu Dec 19 12:36:46 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4010 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Update Roland Pesch email address per his
4013 Tue Dec 17 12:57:56 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4015 * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): In example, remove text "and reedit if
4016 necessary"; it was copied from editinfo and doesn't apply here.
4017 Fix syntax of if statement; remove unnecessary attempt at loop;
4018 don't use -n with echo. Add @appendixsec at start of node.
4019 Add note about how verifymsg cannot change log message.
4020 (editinfo): In paragraph saying editinfo is obsolete, fix various
4021 typos and formatting glitches. Mention -e as well as EDITOR.
4022 (editinfo): In saying that editinfo doesn't get consulted with -m,
4023 -F or client/server, recommend verifymsg. Remove comment which
4024 says, in effect, "we need a feature like verifymsg".
4025 (editinfo example): Change "verifymsg" back to "editinfo" here;
4026 the example is of editinfo not verifymsg.
4028 Tue Dec 17 12:45:32 1996 Abe Feldman <feldman@cyclic.com>
4030 * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): New node.
4031 various places: Say that editinfo is obsolete, or refer to
4032 verifymsg instead of editinfo
4034 Wed Dec 11 08:55:26 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4036 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about 1.3 and file death.
4038 * cvs.texinfo (update output, release output): Document "P" as
4041 Tue Dec 10 16:23:40 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4043 * cvs.texinfo (Builds): Change "make" to "implement" and "build";
4044 in this context "make" is ambiguous.
4045 (Builds): Add new URL of mk web page.
4047 Mon Dec 9 11:03:37 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4049 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication client, Environment
4050 variables): Remove mention of CVS_PASSWORD.
4052 Sun Dec 8 22:38:34 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4054 * cvs.texinfo (Repository files): Mention differences between RCS
4055 files in RCS and in CVS.
4056 (Tags): Tag names must start with a letter.
4058 Fri Dec 6 09:08:18 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4060 * cvs.texinfo (syntax): Expand discussion of regular expression
4063 Fri Nov 29 09:06:41 1996 fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish)
4064 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4066 * cvs.texinfo, cvsclient.texi: Make sure @ref and friends are
4067 followed by "," or "." as described in the texinfo manual. This
4068 is a dubious practice as texi2html and texinfo.tex don't require
4069 it, and makeinfo could insert them as needed, but since makeinfo
4070 doesn't do that yet, cope.
4072 * cvs.texinfo (From files): Suggest "diff -r" rather than "ls -R"
4073 as the way to see that the sources seem to have been imported
4075 (Common options): -k is also available with import.
4076 (admin options): Fix typo ("interrested" -> "interested").
4078 Mon Nov 25 10:03:56 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4080 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comments about two digit
4081 years, year 2000, and ambiguous/nonexistent dates.
4083 Sun Nov 24 17:27:24 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4085 * cvs.texinfo (First import): Don't say what the wdiff program we
4086 are using as an example does--that is confusing. Also don't show
4087 untarring it--people might be familiar with cpio, ZIP, VMS BACKUP,
4088 etc., instead of tar.
4090 * cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Update comment about "cvs add -m".
4092 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Remove -H; -H is not a command
4094 (Global options): Also list --help and --version. Don't say that
4095 -H gives a list of commands; it doesn't any more (directly).
4097 * cvs.texinfo: Add comment pointing to paper size web page.
4099 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Rewrite section on date formats.
4100 Executive summary is that RFC822 and ISO8601 are now preferred.
4102 Wed Nov 20 08:39:45 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4104 * cvs.texinfo (Getting Notified): Add paragraph clarifying that
4105 watches happen per user, not per working directory.
4107 Tue Nov 19 09:39:08 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4109 * cvs.texinfo (Tags): Suggest that future special tag names might
4110 start with ".". Fix typo.
4112 * cvs.texinfo (Removing directories): -P is also available with
4114 (Moving directories): Rewrite first paragraph; now says that you
4115 must use -P for the directory to disappear from working
4116 directories. Thanks to Martin Lorentzon
4117 <Martin.Lorentzson@emw.ericsson.se> for reporting this bug.
4118 (various): Where we mention -P, point to Removing directories
4121 Sat Nov 16 18:03:22 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4123 * cvsclient.texi (Example): Rewrite to actually be based on a real
4124 live example (and therefore reflect the way the protocol currently
4125 works). Add comment about formatting of the document itself.
4127 Thu Nov 14 10:22:58 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4129 * cvsclient.texi (Introduction): Use @ref, not @xref, after "see".
4130 (Goals): Rewrite items about locking, about uploading in big
4131 chunks, and about atomicity to be focused more on the protocol
4132 than the current implementation.
4133 (Notes): Remove this node. The attempt to describe the basic
4134 model has pretty much been replaced by the Introduction.
4135 The material about how to start the client is incomplete and
4136 better left to cvs.texinfo. And the item about the lack of
4137 SERVER_FLOWCONTROL is obsolete now that SERVER_FLOWCONTROL is the
4139 (Protocol Notes): Add comment about multisite features.
4140 (Requirements): Use @code for requests and responses.
4142 * cvs.texinfo (Remote repositories): Add a few sentences defining
4143 "client" and "server"; before we had been using the terms without
4146 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Add paragraph about reporting bugs.
4147 Reword and expand comp.software.config-mgmt description (and add
4148 comments about other newsgroup facts). Point people at GNU list
4149 of FTP sites rather than directly at prep.ai.mit.edu.
4151 Wed Nov 6 09:45:08 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4153 * cvs.texinfo (Tracking sources): Add comment regarding added and
4156 Tue Nov 5 14:00:31 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4158 * cvs.texinfo: Rename node "Invoking CVS" to "CVS commands".
4159 Rewrite the intro and comments to reflect addition of the new
4161 (Invoking CVS): New node, a quick summary of each command.
4162 (annotate): Don't list the options; refer to Invoking CVS and
4163 Common options instead.
4165 Sun Nov 3 21:22:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4167 * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): New node, moved from ../README.
4169 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about how tar manual
4170 contains documentation for getdate date formats.
4172 Fri Nov 1 14:00:31 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4174 * cvs.texinfo (commit examples): Rewrite "New major release
4175 number" section to tighten up the wording, better motivate the
4176 discussion, and replace the term "rcs revision number" with
4179 Fri Oct 25 07:49:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4181 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): Don't say "a la printf"; the syntax is
4182 only vaguely similar to printf.
4184 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): To get just the repository name, suggest
4185 %{} instead of % "standing alone"; the latter is now an error.
4187 Tue Oct 22 13:08:54 1996 Noel Cragg <noel@gargle.rain.org>
4189 * cvs.texinfo (loginfo): add information on the new loginfo format
4190 string specification.
4192 Mon Oct 21 17:33:44 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4194 * cvs.texinfo (Builds): New node.
4195 (What is CVS?): Refer to it.
4197 Sat Oct 19 14:32:21 1996 Jim Meyering <meyering@asic.sc.ti.com>
4198 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4200 * cvs.texinfo (Choosing a model): Wording/grammar fix.
4202 Sat Oct 19 14:32:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4204 * cvsclient.texi (Obsolete): New node.
4205 (Requests): Remove Repository and Lost and adjust Directory,
4206 UseUnchanged, and other places accordingly.
4207 (Required): Directory and Unchanged are now required.
4209 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Don't talk about modules; they are
4210 not relevant in this context.
4211 (Removing directories): New node.
4212 (Common options): Refer to it instead of duplicating information.
4214 Fri Oct 18 11:05:06 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4216 * cvs.texinfo (First import, import): Add paragraph about the fact
4217 that import doesn't modify the directory which it imports from.
4219 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Add paragraph about
4220 resource requirements.
4222 * cvs.texinfo (Copying): Replace empty node with a copy of the GPL.
4224 Thu Oct 17 12:10:55 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4226 * cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Revise comment to more accurately
4227 reflect the functioning/nonfunctioning status of cvs add -m.
4229 * cvs.texinfo (Reverting local changes): New node, somewhat based
4230 on the version of this node from 30 Sep 96 change.
4231 (admin options): Refer to it.
4233 * cvs.texinfo: Reinstate 30 Sep 96 change from A4 to US letter.
4235 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): When telling people how to clean up
4236 locks, tell them to make sure the locks are owned by the person
4237 who has the stale locks.
4238 (update output, release output): Remove text about how CVS doesn't
4239 print "? foo" for directories; CVS has since been changed (see
4240 conflicts-130 in sanity.sh).
4242 Wed Oct 16 15:01:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4244 * cvs.texinfo (history options): Mention new option -x E.
4246 Mon Oct 14 15:21:25 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4248 * cvs.texinfo (Tags): Add paragraph on choosing a convention for
4251 Thu Oct 10 16:05:26 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4253 * cvs.texinfo (modules): Describe what & does.
4255 Mon Oct 7 17:20:11 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
4257 * cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Correct apparent cut and paste
4258 error: refer to the removed file, not the added file.
4260 Tue Oct 1 14:15:33 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4262 * cvs.texinfo: Revert all recent changes (the last unscathed one
4263 is the CVSUMASK one from Sunday). For the most part said changes
4264 are for new features which are not appropriate at this stage of
4265 the release process. None of the changes being reverted need to
4266 go into 1.9, that is for sure.
4268 Mon Sep 30 18:17:34 1996 Greg A. Woods <woods@most.weird.com>
4270 * cvs.texinfo (Credits): add comment asking if we should update.
4271 Add more detail about printing Letter on A4.
4272 Add some comments about internal comments.
4273 (From files): describe "cvs import -b 1" for importing existing
4274 projects onto the main branch.
4275 (First import): add a couple of helpful hints about naming vendor
4276 and release tags, etc., and regularize the examples with this.
4277 (Tracking sources): noted some reasons why you might use vendor
4278 branches with "cvs import".
4279 (Update imports): mention using "update" in place of "checkout" if
4280 you have an existing working directory.
4281 (Binary files in imports): add sub-menu separator comment.
4282 (Tracking sources): new menu entry "Reverting to vendor release".
4283 (Reverting to vendor release): new node to describe reverting
4284 local changes and optionally using patch(1) to move local changes
4286 (Global options): describe -D and -g, as well as DIFFBIN and
4288 (export examples): add one.
4289 (import options): describe the effect of '-b 1'.
4291 Mon Sep 30 08:09:53 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4293 * cvs.texinfo: Adjust comments concerning A4 vs. US letter,
4294 referring to ../README.
4296 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about dates which CVS
4299 Sun Sep 29 11:14:16 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4301 * cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Don't mention Name twice.
4303 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Expand CVSUMASK stuff a bit.
4304 (Setting a watch, Environment variables, Global options): Update
4305 index entries for "read-only files, and ...".
4307 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): State that Gzip-stream is preferred
4308 to gzip-file-contents. Cite RFC1952/1951 rather than just "gzip".
4309 Say that RFC1950/1951 compression is also known as "zlib".
4311 Sat Sep 28 09:31:45 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4313 * cvs.texinfo (Repository): Move all information about the
4314 internal structure of the repository to User modules node. Rename
4315 it to "Repository storage" ("User modules" wasn't particularly
4316 clear). Mention CVSUMASK. Much clarification and
4318 (Basic concepts): Remove material which duplicates what is now in
4319 Repository. Rewrite paragraph introducing modules.
4321 * cvs.texinfo (Starting a new project): In discussing difficulty
4322 in renaming files, don't refer to "cvs 1.x"--there is no
4323 non-vaporous "cvs 2.x". Reword to reflect that part of the reason
4324 to avoid renames (where possible) is not because of CVS at all, and
4325 to try to give a general impression of how bad CVS issues involved in
4328 Fri Sep 27 04:23:44 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4330 * cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Talk about directories, not modules,
4331 since that is what is meant. Suggest using -kb option to add
4332 rather than running cvs admin after the fact and xref to Binary
4333 files not admin examples. Incorporate information which had been
4334 in "add" node (there was a lot of duplication). Don't document
4335 use of "add" on a directory to take the place of "cvs update -d";
4336 the latter is simpler and more logical.
4337 (add, add options, add examples): Removed.
4338 (release output, release options): Update xrefs accordingly.
4339 (Adding files, Removing files): Mention the fact that adds and
4340 removes are branch-specific.
4341 (Merging adds and removals): New node.
4343 * cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): When mentioning RCS locks, use the
4344 term reserved checkouts and xref to the place where we discuss
4347 Thu Sep 26 08:26:01 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4349 * cvs.texinfo (log): Add comments about timezones.
4350 (log, Common options): Add index entries for timezone and zone, time.
4352 Wed Sep 25 11:05:30 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4354 * cvs.texinfo (log options): Add xref to where we describe the
4355 date formats that -d accepts.
4356 (Common options): Don't refer to date formats accepted by co(1);
4357 CVS's rules have never been the same. Add long whiny comment
4358 about what a mess date formats are.
4360 Tue Sep 24 11:49:02 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4362 * cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): The RCS file
4363 must not be locked when you copy it to the CVS repository.
4365 * cvs.texinfo (Editing files): Also discuss how to revert in the
4366 non-watch case. Add some index entries.
4368 * cvs.texinfo (update output): Add comment about how we *should*
4369 be handling .# files. Mention fact that it is different under
4370 VMS. Add .# to index.
4372 Fri Sep 20 13:08:33 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4374 * cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Revise text on reserved
4375 versus unreserved checkouts extensively. Move index entries for
4376 "reserved checkouts" and "RCS-style locking" to here. Add
4377 cross-reference to cvs admin -l. Add new section "Choosing a
4379 (Editing files): Add note about use of the word "checkout".
4381 Tue Sep 17 00:54:57 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4383 * cvs.texinfo (Defining the module): Don't suggest "cvs co
4384 modules"; that depends on a "modules" module being defined which
4385 is not the default which is created by "cvs init". Instead
4386 suggest "cvs co CVSROOT/modules" which should always work.
4388 Tue Sep 17 00:43:49 1996 VaX#n8 <vax@linkdead.paranoia.com>
4389 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4391 * cvs.texinfo (Rename by copying): Suggest "cvs tag -d" on the file
4392 "new", not on everything. Also don't suggest deleting branch tags.
4394 Tue Sep 17 00:34:39 1996 David A. Swierczek <swierczekd@med.ge.com>
4396 * Makefile.in (install-info): Note whether files are in srcdir and
4397 deal with it rather than cd'ing into srcdir.
4399 Mon Sep 16 23:33:36 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4401 * cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add comment about using wrappers to
4402 compress files in the repository.
4404 * cvs.texinfo (modules): Add comments about how we should be
4405 documenting how -i and friends operate in client/server CVS.
4407 * cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Describe the need for write
4408 permissions for locks and val-tags.
4410 * cvs.texinfo (commitinfo): Add comment about using commitinfo to
4411 enforce who has access.
4413 Wed Jul 24 17:01:41 1996 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
4414 and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4416 * cvs.texinfo (checkout): Refer to "update output" node.
4417 (import): Add new import output node.
4418 (release): Correct release output menu entry (used to be
4419 release options instead).
4420 (update output): Say this is output from checkout as well as
4423 Mon Sep 16 16:18:38 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4425 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Clarify that CVS uses MM/DD/YY dates.
4427 * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about what HEAD means.
4429 Mon Sep 16 10:52:04 1996 Norbert Kiesel <nk@col.sw-ley.de>
4431 * cvs.texinfo (Global options): Document global '-T' option.
4433 Sat Sep 14 10:46:58 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4435 * cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): New node.
4437 Fri Sep 13 23:55:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4439 * cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Delete song and dance about
4440 how cvs log can't cope with magic branches because rlog doesn't
4441 know about them; cvs log no longer calls rlog. Delete item about
4442 how you can't specify a symbolic branch to cvs log; that is fixed.
4444 Wed Sep 11 22:48:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4446 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Add comments
4447 regarding port numbers and troubleshooting.
4449 Tue Sep 10 10:36:00 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4451 * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Reword text regarding info-cvs,
4452 to avoid overfull hbox.
4454 * cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add comment about further issues
4455 with recovering from failure to use -kb.
4457 * cvs.texinfo (Conflicts example): Describe the "feature" by which
4458 CVS won't check in files with conflicts.
4459 (File status): Expand and revise to document all the possible
4460 statuses from cvs status. Also document "Working revision" and
4461 "Repository revision". Refer to other sections for other aspects
4463 (status options): Refer to other sections as appropriate.
4464 (update output): Refer user to Conflicts example node. Add
4465 comment regarding purging of .# files.
4467 Fri Sep 6 11:47:14 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
4469 * cvs.texinfo (Kerberos authenticated): Mention need for
4470 --enable-encryption option in order to use encryption.
4471 (Global options): Likewise, in description of -x option.
4473 Thu Sep 5 14:31:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4475 * cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Discuss :ext:, :server:, and
4477 (Remote repositories): Mention what default is if no access method
4479 (Environment variables): Don't discuss CVS_RSH at length here;
4480 rely on reference to "Connecting via rsh" node.
4482 Mon Aug 26 15:39:18 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4484 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): When talking about having the
4485 client know the original contents of files, suggest cvs edit as a

4496 * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication security): Add comment
4497 about how some of this is not pserver-specific.
4499 Tue Aug 6 16:48:53 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
4501 * cvs.texinfo (log, log options): Update for changes to cvs log
4502 now that it no longer invokes rlog.
4504 Thu Jul 25 10:10:16 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4506 * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Fix typo (Kerberos-request ->
4509 Wed Jul 24 18:53:13 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
4511 * cvs.texinfo (Kerberos authenticated): Change the note that the
4512 Kerberos connection is not encrypted.
4513 (Global options): Add documentation for -x.
4514 * cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Remove enhancement note about
4515 Kerberos encryption.
4516 (Requests): Add documentation for Kerberos-encrypt request.
4518 Thu Jul 18 18:27:40 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
4520 * cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Mention need to be able to

4714 methods; fix pserver info.

4719 more accurately where we put temporary files.
4721 * cvs.texinfo (From files): Say directory tree instead of module
