Description

Warning: the latest build may not always function correctly. The development team will not support CVS snapshots. Only use this if you feel confident dealing with any problems that arise.

CVS Usage

cvs -nq update

This checks for any updates without performing an actual update.

Files modified locally are marked with M.
Files needing an update are marked with U.
Files marked for removal are marked with R.
Files marked for addition are marked with A.
Files that have conflicts are marked with C.
Files that are not in CVS but in the work area are marked with ?.

P seems to mean needs Patching. So this is just like a U.

cvs -q update

Update files.

cvs commit -m "description of the modifications"

Checkin all modified files. Also add marked files and remove marked files. You can also use "ci" (check-in) instead of commit.

cvs commit -m "description of the modifications" <space separated list of filenames>

Checkin all listed files. Also can add marked files and remove marked files. You can also use "ci" (check-in) instead of commit.

cvs add -kb <binary file>

cvs remove <filename>

cvs status -v <filename>
