* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Use -f in example inetd.conf line. (Connection): Add advice about using shell script or env to avoid problems with inetd setting HOME in the server's environment. (various): Use @file for inetd.conf.
New -C option to update: overwrites local changes with clean copies from the repository. (This is an unreversion of the 1999-12-[10,11] change, further modified to work remotely.) Original patch submitted by John P Cavanaugh <cavanaug@sr.hp.com>. * src/client.h (BACKUP_MODIFIED_FILES): new #define. * src/client.c (struct send_data): new element `backup_modified'. (send_files): set above element if BACKUP_MODIFIED_FILES flag is present. * src/filesubr.c (backup_file): new function. * src/cvs.h: prototype for new function `backup_file'. * src/update.c (toss_local_changes): new file-scoped global. (update): set toss_local_changes if -C flag seen. If client_active, send "-C" to server, and set SEND_NO_CONTENTS and BACKUP_MODIFIED_FILES flags before calling send_files(). (update_fileproc): if file is modified and toss_local_changes is set, then back the file up and then check out a fresh copy from the repository. Also, fixed indentation and formatting for a particularly bad stretch of code near (but unrelated to) these changes. * src/sanity.sh: new test `clean', for update -C option. * doc/cvs.texinfo: document new -C option to update, now that it works both remotely and locally. * man/cvs.1: document new -C option to update, now that it works both remotely and locally.
Revert previous update -C change; it does not work remotely yet.
Patch from John P Cavanaugh <cavanaug@sr.hp.com>, w/ minor tweaks. * update.c: new -C option to update, overwrites local changes with clean copies from the repository. Also, fixed indentation and formatting for a particularly bad stretch of code near these changes in update_fileproc(). * sanity.sh: test new update -C option. * cvs.texinfo: document new -C option to update. * cvs.1: document new -C option to update.
* cvs.texinfo(history options): Document -f, -n, and -z.
* cvs.texinfo: Revert Karl's change once again since the code is now fixed. Add "Variables" and "User variables" to index.
Revert Jim Kingdon's reversion of my change of 1999-11-03. Allowing a space between option and argument results in lossage; here is a reproduction recipe: run this from the top of a remote copy of the cvs source tree cvs log -d '>1999-03-01' > log-out.with-space and then run this (note there's no space after -d now): cvs log -d'>1999-03-01' > log-out.no-space The resulting files differ; furthermore, a glance at the output of cvs shows that the first command failed to recurse into subdirectories. Until this misbehavior can be fixed in the source code, the documentation should reflect the true state of affairs: if one simply omits the space, everything works fine.
* cvs.texinfo (log options): Revert Karl's change regarding -d and -s. A space is allowed (see sanity.sh for example).
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): The name of the file is "passwd" not "password".
Changes to allow empty/random passwords in anon pserver access: NEWS: added item about anon cvs no longer needing password. cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server, Password authentication client): Rewritten to accommodate the [new] possibility of empty passwords. server.c (check_repository_password): if password empty, grant access no matter what password is received; this is so anon CVS no longer requires a password but remains backwards-compatible with all those clients out there. client.c (connect_to_pserver): proceed with login even if password not found in .cvspass file -- just use empty string as password. And if such a login fails, print a descriptive error. login.c (get_cvs_password): don't complain if file or password not found. That condition is no longer a showstopper, now that empty passwords are permissible. Cleaned up conditional chaining a bit, too. sanity.sh (pserver-9, pserver-10, pserver-11, pserver-12, pserver-13): new tests, about empty-password pserver access.
More changes related to the usage of `log' command: In cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): correct documentation for -d and -s options (as did elsewhere, earlier today). In log.c (log_usage): correct usage message for -d and -s options. Because the space between the option letter and its argument has been eliminated, I capitalized the argument portion to distinguish it from the option letter. This makes it slightly inconsistent with other such usage summaries, but at least it is now both correct and readable.
(Setting a watch): describe `watch off' behavior more accurately.
(log options): correct documentation for -D and -s options. There can be no space between these options and their arguments. Plus some unrelated texinfo fixes: Make sure all @sc{cvs} codes refer to "cvs" in lower case; this avoids makeinfo warnings. And use @code for the CVSEDITOR environment variable, not @sc.
* cvs.texinfo: Misc. formatting cleanups.
Adding documentation for how the modules "program options" programs are run. From: Tom Lees <tom@lpsg.demon.co.uk>
* cvs.texinfo (admin): Mention admin -k exception. Add cvsadmin to index.
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Note inetd limits and suggest using shell script to avoid.
* cvs.texinfo (checkoutlist): New node, contains more complete documentation of this feature. (CVSROOT storage): Refer to the new node when mentioning checkoutlist. (Administrative files): Update the menu entry for Wrappers.
* cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Try to be more clear about the conflict field.
* cvs.texinfo (config): Use comma after @xref (thanks to Pavel Roskin for the report/fix).
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication security): Remove sentence about how no one has audited pserver for holes; a lot of holes have been closed, looking for, &c, since that was written. In the summary, reword to reflect the fact that sniffing a readonly password does not imply general system access (as far as I know, of course).
* cvs.texinfo (Connection): Also suggest inetd -d.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): -r is for branches too.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "no such tag" message. (Common options): -f does not override val-tags check.
* cvs.texinfo (Locks): #cvs.rfl locks must start with "#cvs.rfl." not just "#cvs.rfl". As far as I know CVS has always implemented the former behavior, and this just fixes the documentation.
* cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): Correct wrong file name (bugid.edit -> bugid.verify).
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "Cannot check out files into the repository itself".
* cvs.texinfo (Other problems): Add the Windows problem with home directory ending in a slash.
* cvs.texinfo (CVS in repository): Include the format of the fileattr file here, rather than referring to the CVS source code.
* cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Whether the timestamp in CVS/Entries is local or universal actually depends on the system.
* cvs.texinfo (export options): Remove notation that the -r tag is sticky. 'cvs export' doesn't store that data.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "EOF in RCS file" and "unexpected EOF" (in RCS file) messages.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "EOF in RCS file" messages.
* cvs.texinfo (admin options): Say there can be no space between -e and its argument (since the previous sentence said the argument can be omitted, this is the only possibility).
* cvs.texinfo (Merging and keywords): When including conflict markers, put @asis{} at the start of the line, in case this file itself is in CVS. Thanks to Derek Price for pointing this out.
* cvs.texinfo: Refer to "keywords" not "RCS keywords". We had only used the latter term in a few places, and it seems like a somewhat odd term in that this style of keyword is by no means specific to RCS. (Merging a branch): Remove spurious ")". Use ref, not xref, after "see". (Merging a branch, Substitution modes): Make sure that @ref is followed by comma, since info wants that. (Merging and keywords): Use samp not code for "-kk". Something of a judgement call, but the rest of the manual uses samp and that seems better to me. (Merging and keywords): Rewrite, to (a) better motivate the discussion based on what the user wants to do, (b) fix up lots of convoluted sentences, (c) move the discussion of the binary files to the end, that is get across the basic idea first and then embellish it. Remove a few unnecessary index entries. Expand example. Just tell people to avoid -kk with binary files (comment out the discussion of using -A after the commit).
1999-01-29 Derek Price <http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/resume.html> * cvs.texinfo: Added new node/section on merging and keywords. It contains advice on how to avoid RCS keyword conflicts when merging and avoid corrupting your binary files while doing it.
* cvs.texinfo: Use EXAMPLE.COM EXAMPLE.ORG and EXAMPLE.NET instead of domains which might conflict with actual (current or future) domains. The EXAMPLE domains are registered for this purpose.
* cvs.texinfo (Sticky tags): Refer to -j as the better way to undo a change. (Merging two revisions): Also talk about undoing removals and adds. Move the index entries to here.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "waiting for USER's lock".
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Comment out all the -t/-f documentation, since that feature is currently disabled.
* cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Add some more index entries so that people who want to use SSH and such are slightly less lost.
* cvs.texinfo: Fixed various trivial typos.
Thanks to Ram Rajadhyaksha of the MacCVS Pro team for raising the following issues. * cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): The deal about storing files as text files applies to all the CVS/* files, not just CVS/Entries. State the rationale too. Document CVSROOT/Emptydir in CVS/Repository. There is no set order in CVS/Entries. Explicitly say that writing Entries.Log is optional.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "unrecognized auth response". (Password authentication server): Remove comment about "unrecognized auth response" and link to the troubleshooting section.
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): Add an example.
* cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Change "-r tag" to "-r rev". We already use "tag" as the name of the tag we are adding.
* cvs.texinfo (CVS commands): Add comment about whether part of the manual should be organized by command.
Clean up various confusions between modules and directories: * cvs.texinfo: In "are you sure you want to release" message, change module to directory. CVS was changed some time ago. (Tags): "working copy of the module" -> "working directory". (Merging two revisions): Remove unnecessary text "that make up a module". (Recursive behavior): Change "module" to "directory". (Removing files): Likewise. (Tracking sources): Remove "a module" from titles. (Moving directories): Change "module" to "parent-dir". (Inside): Remove "of the module". (Inside): Change "module" to "dir". (Rename by copying): Change "module" to "dir". (Rename by copying): Remove "of the module". (Moving directories): "copy of the module" -> "checked out copy of the directory"; remove second "of the module". Change "check out the module" to " check out again". (Moving directories): Remove "of the module". (Keyword substitution): "your working copy of a module" -> "a working directory". (CVS commands): Change "module" to "directory". (release examples): "module" -> "tc directory". (commitinfo): "relative path to the module" -> "directory in the repository". (verifymsg): Change "module" to "directory". (Updating a file): "working copy of a module" -> "working directory".
* cvs.texinfo (Branches and revisions): Fix error in branch numbering which was introduced with change of 4 May 1997.
* cvs.texinfo (Tags): Point to Invoking CVS node so people aren't left wondering what the syntax is. When introducing -r option, warn people about sticky tags right off. (Tagging the working directory, Tagging by date/tag, Modifying tags, Tagging add/remove): New sections. (Invoking CVS): Adjust tag and rtag to point to the new sections, and to add tag -c which had been omitted. Delete tag -n; there is no such option. (rtag, tag): Removed; no longer needed. (commit examples): Update xref.
* cvs.texinfo (Committing your changes, Environment variables): Document VISUAL.
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Say explicitly that you edit passwd directly, many users get confused by this.
* cvs.texinfo (Connecting via fork): :fork: may be of interest to users, for example those who prefer CVS to prompt for one log message per checkin, rather than one per directory. (Connecting via fork): Document CVS_SERVER.
* cvs.texinfo (Connecting via fork): new node about the fork access method.
* cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Document CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT in the CVS 1.10 context. (Moving a repository): Update comments concerning surgery on CVS/Root and CVS/Repository files.
* cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): remove information about CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT, since it's no longer used.
* cvs.texinfo (config): Mention that CVS 1.10 doesn't have LockDir.
* cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Describe $Name and checking out with a revision.
* cvs.texinfo: RFC2346 is out; update comment.
* cvs.texinfo (Keyword list, Substitution modes): In describing $Locker and -kkvl, refer to cvs admin -l.
* cvs.texinfo (tag): Remove confusing wording about supplying revision numbers "implicitly".
* cvs.texinfo (rdiff options): Thanks to the diff library, -u is supported regardless of your diff program.
* cvs.texinfo (config): Add LockDir.
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): Also describe the CVS 1.10 behavior. Looking at a mismatched version of the manual seems to be a reasonably common occurrence.
* cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Revert change regarding CVS_SERVER_SLEEP*; having that kind of debugging code in the main CVS is getting out of hand.
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): brief mention that cvs now handles a working directory composed of multiple repositories. (Environment variables): add note about CVS_SERVER_SLEEP2.
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): brief mention that cvs now handles a working directory composed of multiple repositories. (Environment variables): add note about CVS_SERVER_SLEEP2.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Replace out of date URL concerning ISO8601 dates with a more general statement and a few comments.
* cvs.texinfo (config): TopLevelAdmin variable. * cvsclient.texi (Requests): fix typo.
* cvs.texinfo (Excluding directories): Fix order of "!first-dir/sdir" and "first-dir" to match what CVS actually accepts. Reported by Tim McIntosh of sterling.com.
* cvs.texinfo (Using keywords): Rewrite to be less specific to source code in C. The old text was worse than that; it was specific to certain versions of GCC (not even current GCC's, I don't think) (reported most recently by Mitchell Perilstein; if memory serves by others before that).
* cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): Also mention #cvs.lock. Don't mention #cvs.tfl; it is quite old (before CVS 1.5). (Locks, Backing up, Concurrency): Add more index entries.
* cvs.texinfo (Tracking sources): Clarify that the vendor branch is only made the head revision when you import a new file, not any time you import a file.
* cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): info-cvs-request is now at gnu.org and is no longer handled by a human (hallelujah).
Add an info dir entry. Remove trailing white space.
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Be more explicit that -m 'COPY' has no effect on binary files.
* cvs.texinfo (loginfo example): Also give example of sending mail. Use internal variable $USER rather than expecting CVS to set the environment variable $USER. Change unnecessary 'sed' invocation to 'cat' (it suffered from the same problem in terms of internal variables versus environment variables).
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "conflict: removed FILE was modified by second party".
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Update comment about meaning of HEAD in cvs diff.
* cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): No space is allowed between -r or -w and its argument, for the log command.
* cvs.texinfo (Global options, Invoking CVS): Fix typo ("files files" -> "files"). (Invoking CVS): Make -q and -Q more concise. (Invoking CVS): Use @var for metavariables in "diff -r".
* cvs.texinfo (~/.cvsrc): In example, put "checkout" rather than "co" into .cvsrc; we just finished explaining that only the former works! Thanks to Lenny Foner for reporting this.
* cvs.texinfo (Copying): Remove this node. This basically restores the status quo prior to 18 Oct 1996 (before then the node existed but was empty). (before Top): Adjust copyright notice accordingly.
* cvs.texinfo (Tags, Sticky tags, Creating a branch, Accessing branches): Rename release-0-1 tag to rel-0-1 and likewise for release-0-1-patches and release-0-4. This fixes an overfull hbox. (diff options): Reformat table to fix underfull hboxes and such.
* cvs.texinfo (Editing files, Special Files): Document hardlinks. Various cleanups to PreservePermissions text. * RCSFILES: Document PreservePermissions newphrases.
* cvs.texinfo (Special Files): Add notes about client/server CVS and hard links across directories.
* cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): The magic loginfo incantation isn't too likely to work except on unix.
* cvs.texinfo (user-defined logging): Double "@" literal.
* cvs.texinfo (user-defined logging): Add taginfo example.
* cvs.texinfo (config): PreservePermissions variable. (Special Files): New. (Editing files): Add note about PreservePermissions.
* cvs.texinfo (Connection): New node.
* cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): For admin -b, point to the section where we talk about reverting to vendor branch.
* cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS, rdiff options): Document rdiff -V option as obsolete, since it was made a fatal error some time ago.
* cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Add global options, keywords, and keyword substitution modes. Wording fix in reference to --help and Index.
* cvs.texinfo (Excluding directories): Add index entry for "!".
* cvs.texinfo (Excluding directories): New node, documenting how to exclude directories using ! in an alias module.
* cvs.texinfo (BUGS, Credits): Change @unnumbered to @appendix now that these are moved from the start to the end.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "Too many arguments!".
* cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Just point to the two canonical web sites (Pascal Molli and Cyclic) concerning CVS downloads. The GNU URL was out of date and GNU only has source distributions anyway.
* cvs.texinfo: Change bug-cvs address to gnu.org per email from Martin Hamilton.
* cvs.texinfo (Sticky tags): Further cleanups. Fix thinko (s/subsequent cvs update/& commands/). Remove "vi driver.c" and commit from example (totally vestigial). Reword start of paragraph on non-branch sticky tags, so that it better alludes to branch sticky tags. When introducing sticky tags, make it clear that even people who aren't trying to use sticky tags may need to know how to avoid them. Restore comment about CVS/Tag files. (Accessing branches): Don't xref to merging here; that is a much more advanced topic and the "but see" wording didn't tell us what to see the xref about.
* cvs.texinfo (Creating a branch): Rewritten. Introduce with `tag', then discuss `rtag' and `-r'.
Tue Dec 23 10:03:37 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.red-bean.com> and Jim Kingdon * cvs.texinfo: Changes to dehairify the "Sticky tags" situation: (Revisions): "Sticky tags" moved here, description in menu changed to be a little more informative. (Sticky tags): Moved from "Branching and merging" to "Revisions". (Accessing branches): New node in "Branching and merging", explains how to use checkout vs update to retrieve a branch. Text and example inherited from "Sticky tags", but text mostly rewritten. (Sticky tags): Moved under "Revisions", rewritten somewhat (more rewrites to follow). Don't use "-v" in "cvs status" example.
Cleanups related to recent separation of revisions from branching/merging: * cvs.texinfo (Revisions): Take paragraph introducing branches, rewrite it and move it to "Branching and merging". (Branching and merging): Also rewrite merging intro. (Revision numbers): Don't go into detail about branch revision numbers here, just mention that they happen and refer to new node "Branches and revisions". (Branches and revisions): New node under "Branching and merging", inherits text from "Revision numbers". (Creating a branch): Refer to "Branches and revisions" now, not "Revision numbers". (Binary why): Rewrite sentence which refers to merging, so that it isn't specific to branch merging. (Branches motivation): Fix typo (select -> elect). Add comment about what this node is accomplishing, in general.
This is just moving text; related cleanups to follow. * cvs.texinfo: Changes to put branching and merging together, and keep it all separate from revisions: (Revisions): Renamed from "Revisions and branches". (Branching and merging): Renamed from "Merging". (Branches motivation, Creating a branch, Sticky tags, Magic branch numbers): these subnodes moved to "Branching and merging" from "Revisions". everywhere: Adjusted cross-references to cope with above.
Note that this is just moving text, not changing it: * cvs.texinfo: divide top-level menu into sections. (Multiple developers, Builds, Tracking sources, Keyword substitution): moved to be in "CVS and the Real World" section. (Compatibility): moved to be in "References" section.
* cvs.texinfo (Overview): New node. (What is CVS?, A sample session): Put under Overview. (What is CVS not?): New node under Overview. [text previously was part of "What is CVS?" -kingdon] (Preface): Removed this node and its contents. (Checklist): Removed this node and its contents. (Credits): Now toward end of top-level menu (was under Preface). (BUGS): Now toward end of top-level menu (was under Preface).
* cvs.texinfo (loginfo): Add comment about which commands run loginfo.
* cvs.texinfo (GSSAPI authenticated, Kerberos authenticated): Briefly introduce what GSSAPI and Kerberos are. Be slightly more emphatic about protecting against downgrade attacks.
* cvs.texinfo (GSSAPI authenticated): New node. (Global options): Document -a. Mention GSSAPI in -x documentation. * cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Document GSSAPI authentication. (Requests): Add Gssapi-encrypt and Gssapi-authenticate.
* cvs.texinfo (cvsignore): Add note about comments and the space-separated nature of the syntax.
* cvs.texinfo (checkout): Clarify issues regarding updating existing working directories.
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add comment: we don't document %s.

* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Remove also has a -f option with a different meaning than most.
* cvs.texinfo (File permissions, Connecting via rsh, Environment variables): When putting an environment variable in the index, say it is an environment variable. Don't index the same name twice.
* cvs.texinfo: Many edits to reflect the fact that CVS no longer invokes external RCS programs.
* cvs.texinfo (Locks, CVS in repository): New nodes, document the locking scheme and briefly outline CVS and CVS/fileattr.
* cvs.texinfo (Binary why): Try to be a little clearer about how merges fit into CVS. Say it may be error prone to have developers doing merges manually.
* cvs.texinfo (admin options): Add discussion of what happens if there are tags.
* cvs.texinfo (admin options): Rewrite discussion of -o to hopefully be clearer and to also document the new :: syntax. (admin examples): Removed; incorporated into admin options. (Invoking CVS): Wording fix for admin -o.
* cvs.texinfo (Binary why): New node, talks about diff and merge. (Binary howto): Renamed from Binary files. (Binary files): Now just contains an introduction.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "could not merge" message. In discussion of "Binary files . . . differ" message, mention that this is only an issue with old verisons of CVS.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "authorization failed" message.
* cvs.texinfo: Remove fake RCSid; we decided to remove rcsid's a while ago. Cleanups suggested by Stephen Gildea (CVSROOT/passwd has 2 or 3 fields; /user -> /usr; noone -> no one; in used -> in use). Add comment about making compilers happy about rcsids.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add message about unrecognized response from cvs server.
* cvs.texinfo (checkout options): describe how the `-d' and `-N' flags really work. Give examples. (export options): refer the reader to the descriptions for `-d' and `-N' in checkout options, since the behavior is the same.
* cvs.texinfo (log options): Add comment about "cvs log -r".
* cvs.texinfo (rtag options): Add comment about how this is confusing.

* cvs.texinfo (Remote repositories): Add comment about pserver vs. having users create their own repositories.
* cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Change title from "RCS Keywords" to "Keyword list" as it is CVS that expands them. (Avoiding substitution): Change "rcs" to "cvs", in the context of the program which expands keywords.
* cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Change example branch number from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4; CVS assigns even branch numbers and I don't think vendor branches are very relevant to this example.
* cvs.texinfo (admin options): Add comment about "cvs admin -b" (with no argument to the -b).
* cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add comment about another possible way to auto-detect binary files.
* cvs.texinfo (Conflicts example): Adjust text and comments regarding conflict markers to reflect change in CVS.

* cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Document Baserev and Baserev.tmp. (Working directory storage): Adjust comment regarding CVS/* being text files.
* cvs.texinfo (BUGS): Remove mention of unsupported resources page on http://www.cyclic.com, as it might go away in a future reorganization.
* cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Reword the section on what you need to do with cvs admin -kb to hopefully be a bit clearer. Still not ideal (see comment).
* cvs.texinfo (modules): Break node into separate nodes for alias modules, regular modules, ampersand modules, and options. Expand text with more examples and explanations. Add index entries.
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Add idea about cvs editors and reserved checkouts.
* cvs.texinfo (diff options): Add comment about "cvs diff" vs. "cvs diff -r HEAD".

* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Grammar fix ("under as the username" -> "as the username").
* cvs.texinfo: Fix doubled 'the the' typos. Reported by karlb@atg.com.
* cvs.texinfo (Checklist): Reword xref to point to Binary files rather than Keyword expansion. Credit goes to jeff@alum.mit.edu (Jeff Breidenbach) for reporting the problem.
* cvs.texinfo (modules): Suggest taginfo instead of -t. Add comment with some of the reasons. Add comment about -u and -i problems.

* cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about how CVS probably could be detecting the case of dead files killed by CVS 1.3.
* cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): Add paragraph about converting from systems which don't export RCS files.
* cvs.texinfo (A sample session): Nuke index entry for "A sample session". The fact that this isn't "sample session" is totally bogus, but in general the table of contents is probably better for this entry.
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add comment about absolute filter pathname.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add comment about wording of error concerning unknown -x option.
* cvs.texinfo: Use @ref not @xref when reference is not at the start of a sentence. Avoids capitalizing "See" when we shouldn't. Fixes to other similar xref problems.
* cvs.texinfo (config): Document SystemAuth. (Password authentication server): Mention SystemAuth.
* cvs.texinfo (admin options): For options with optional arguments, specify that there can be no space between the option and its argument. For -N, add xref to Magic branch numbers. For -t, talk about reading from stdin. Comment changes.

* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "missing author".
* cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Fix documentation of $Log to reflect the fact that we no longer use the comment leader. (admin options): Fix documentation of $Log. (admin examples): Remove example concerning comment leader, since the example no longer does what it claims to. (admin, admin options): Fix various parts of the documentation to not refer to this being implemented via RCS. Say nastier things about -I and -x. Add comments about options to "rcs" which we don't document.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): The "cannot change permissions on temporary directory" error has been happening in various test cases.
* cvs.texinfo (Repository files): Further comments about leading "-" in filenames.
* cvs.texinfo (Repository files): Add comment about legal filenames.
* cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Rewrite paragraph on setuid to be more verbose and less unix-specific.

* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add assertion failed.
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication security): Note about permissions on $CVSROOT also applies to its parent and so on up to /.
* cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): xref to Server requirements for more details on memory, CPU. (Server requirements): Add xref to Creating a repository regarding disk space.
* cvs.texinfo (Read-only access, Password authentication security): The known holes which let a read-only user execute arbitrary programs on the server are gone.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "binary files differ" when trying to check in a binary file.
* cvs.texinfo: Fix various formatting, spelling, stylistic, and factual errors.
* cvs.texinfo (config): New node. (Password authentication server): Talk about RCSBIN in config as an alternative to -b global option. * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Specify when Root can/must be used.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "*PANIC* administration files missing".

* cvs.texinfo (Keywords in imports): New node. (Tracking sources): Add comment about what a "vendor" is.
* cvs.texinfo (Keyword substitution): Where it refers to RCS having a certain behavior, rewrite to not pass the buck like that. Saying "RCS file" is still OK; that is a legit CVS concept. A few other minor edits.
* cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): Fix typo ("systesm" -> "systems").
* cvs.texinfo (Exit status): New node. (diff): Replace text on exit status with an xref to that node. The previous text documented a behavior which CVS no longer implements. (user-defined logging, commitinfo, verifymsg, Error messages): Add index entries for "exit status, of <something which CVS invokes>".
* cvs.texinfo (Administrative files): Add comment concerning writing triggers and particularly performance issues.
* cvs.texinfo (rtag options, tag options): Don't discuss what old versions did with respect to the behavior now controlled by -F; we don't try to document old versions here. Add comments concerning how -F should be documented. Add index entries for "renaming tags" and such pointing to "tag -F".
* cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add text and comment about automatically detecting binary files.
* cvs.texinfo (Update imports): Add comment about wdiff vs. fsf/wdiff in example.

* cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about "D" lines in Entries.
* cvs.texinfo (CVS commands, diff): Change "run diffs" to "show differences"; the former is jargon. (CVS commands): Don't refer to "rlog" in describing what log does.
Fix overfull and underfull hboxes: * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Add words "the newsgroup" before "comp.sources.unix". (Credits): Put list of people in @display. (Repository files): Put /usr/local/cvsroot in @example. (Connecting via rsh): Change "anklet" to "toe" in example. (Kerberos authenticated, Password authentication client, Password authentication server): Change "brickyard" to "yard" in example. (Read-only access): Use @example and refer to files with a shorter pathname. (Server temporary directory): Use @example for pathname. (Watches Compatibility): Add phony line break. (Revision numbers): Remove revision 1.2.2.2 and tighten up the spacing for "the main trunk". (Tags, Creating a branch): Change /usr/local/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot. (Merging more than once): Tighten up spacing for "the main trunk". (Recursive behavior): Put long command in @example. (First import): Remove word "called". (Common options): Put long URL in @example. (loginfo example): Use fewer hyphens in example. (Variables): Put long command name in @example. (Copying): Add line break. (Administrative files): Remove "the" from title. (Copying): Change "@unnumberedsec" to two "@heading"s. * cvsclient.texi (Requests): Change /home/kingdon/zwork/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot. (Example): Add word "file". (Example): Change line breaks in example log message. (Example): Change /home/kingdon/testing/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot. * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Don't refer to appendix A and B, they have been renumbered. Reword so that it works whether the text in question has since been rewritten or not.
* cvs.texinfo (BUGS): Rewrite to reflect the many different ways that one might want to handle bugs. Move information on Signum and Cyclic from Preface to here. Remove information on known deficiencies in the manual (some of them I'm not sure were really things in need of improvement; others were too general to be useful). For the most part FIXME comments are probably better for this. Remove "Linkoping, October 1993, Per Cederqvist"--many parts of the manual are now from other people, dates, and places. (What is CVS): For the most part, just refer to BUGS concerning bug-cvs. Also tell people how to subscribe to bug-cvs. (Credits): Say that list is not comprehensive and refer to ChangeLog.
* cvs.texinfo (rcsinfo): Add comment about checkoutlist and related topics.
* cvs.texinfo (Server temporary directory): New node.
* cvs.texinfo (Backing up): New node.
* cvs.texinfo (Repository): Be more explicit about the repository and the working directory not being subdirectories of each other.
* cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Use "*.c" not "?.c" in example; the former should be good for both unix and DOS-like operating systems. Document -f option. Refer to Invoking CVS for a full list of options. Add a few comments.
* cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): For checkout and update, call them "sticky options" not "sticky kopts".
* cvs.texinfo (Editing files): Add additional comments on get vs. checkout.
* cvs.texinfo (commit): Only document the current flags (where -f is force and -F file gets the message from a log file). We had partly made this change on 9 Feb 1997, but some places got missed.
* cvs.texinfo (File status): Refer to "Invoking CVS", not "status", for status options. Add paragraph about how "cvs -n -q update" is another way to display file status. (update examples): Removed; it had contained the "cvs -n -q update" material. (Invoking CVS): xref to "File status" and "Tags", not "status" and "status options". (status, status options): Removed. (update options, checkout options): xref to "Invoking CVS" not "status".
* cvs.texinfo: Add @finalout.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "cannot change permissions on temporary directory" message.
* cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Describe what to do with Entries.Log in more detail.
* cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Add note about format of timestamp and the "Result of merge" concept.
* cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Add note about format of timestamp and the "Result of merge" concept.
* cvs.texinfo (Assigning revisions): Say that -r implies -f.
* cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): Add comment about CMZ and PATCHY.
* cvs.texinfo (Rename by copying): Comment out seemingly erroneous text regarding the revision number that the new file starts with.
* cvs.texinfo (Committing your changes): Say that editor default is notepad (not vi) for Windows NT/95. Be more clear about what "cvs commit" does. Add paragraph about timestamps. (Environment variables, Global options, editinfo): Add xrefs to that node.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "could not patch; will refetch".
* cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): New node.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add comment about "cvs co ." on NT.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add diff3 usage message.
* cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Add comment about undoing a "cvs remove".
* cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add comment about binary files and merges.
* cvs.texinfo (Attic): New node. (rtag options): Adjust discussion of -a accordingly. (Repository files): Adjust accordingly.
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Give exact wording of broken pipe error message.
* cvs.texinfo (history database): Add comment about various problems with the history file.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): The ISO8601 web page we had mentioned in a comment is no more. Replace it with a new one.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): "cvs history" also outputs dates.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): "cvs editors" also outputs dates.
* cvs.texinfo (Outside): Fix paragraph which said that revision numbers start at 1.0. First of all, it is 1.1. Second of all, it is sometimes 2.1, 3.1, etc. Third of all, the xref should be to Assigning revisions not commit options.
* cvs.texinfo (Outside): Comment out sentence which incorrectly stated that "cvs add" can operate on "foo/bar.c".
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): New node. (Magic branch numbers): Move from Troubleshooting to Revisions and branches. The former placement never made any sense to me. (Revision numbers): Remove "Main trunk (intro)" index entry now that this node is right next to the other "main trunk" index entry. (BUGS): Very briefly mention reporting bugs in CVS.
* cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about "Nfoo" in CVS/Tag.
* cvs.texinfo (Creating a branch): Add comment about -r in branch example.
The following reorganization hopefully presents numeric revisions in a slightly more coherent fashion. The only new material is the paragraph about assigning revisions for added files. * cvs.texinfo (A sample session): Bring in a sentence from Basic concepts node, defining a repository. (Revisions and branches): Renamed from Branches (it has always covered non-branch tags too). Bring in nodes "Revision numbers" and "Versions revisions releases" from Basic concepts, the former in particular was way too detailed for an intro section. (A sample session): Add comment about how we need an introduction and what might go into one. Also bring in the paragraph from Basic concepts introducing modules, but comment it out. (Viewing differences): Add comment about (Basic concepts): Removed; its content has been farmed out as described above, and as the comment said, it was fundamentally flawed. (Assigning revisions): New node. Incorporates the "New major release number" subsubsec which was in "commit examples". Add paragraph concerning how CVS assigns revisions on added files. (commit options): Refer to that node under -r. (Invoking CVS): Add comment about text for -r.
* cvs.texinfo (File permissions): CVSUMASK now works for RCS files; but it is (still) awkward for client/server CVS.
* cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Add comment about where this should go.
* cvs.texinfo (Credits): Fix grammatical mistake ("manual about" -> "manual is about"). Reported by Philippe De Muyter.
* cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Add comment about val-tags and CVSUMASK.
* cvs.texinfo (From scratch): Add comment about creating directories with add rather than import. * cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Add comment about how this somewhat duplicates Server requirements.
* cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Add comment about rsh vs. remsh. Also wording fix ("incorrect" -> "inapplicable").
* cvs.texinfo (Outside): Add comment about renames and annotate.
* cvs.texinfo (Server requirements): New node.
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Reword section on "cvs admin -l". As nearly as I can tell based on when it came up on info-cvs and other contexts, people who are into reserved checkouts generally find that cvs admin -l is OK. Add a bunch more notes (inside @ignore) about reserved checkout implementation ideas.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add various additional comments about date formats.
* cvs.texinfo (Checklist): Fix typo ("keword" -> "keyword").
* cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): Add "web" to index.
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication client, Invoking CVS): Document "cvs logout" command.
* cvs.texinfo (commit options): Document that the -f option to commit disables recursion.
* cvs.texinfo (diff options): Document all the options we pass through to diff. Remove paragraph about -D sometimes meaning --ifdef since that is no longer true.
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Add lengthy comment about reserved checkout design issues.
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add paragraph about timestamps.
* cvs.texinfo (commit options): Don't try to document what CVS 1.3 does with -f and how recent versions differ: 1.3 is pretty old anyway, we generally only try to document the current version, and the way it was described here was pretty confusing. (Environment variables): Likewise for CVSEDITOR.
* cvs.texinfo (import output): Add index entries for symbolic links. Add brief mention of whether behavior should be different. Add comments on other symbolic link issues.
* cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): Add comment about commit/commit atomicity.
* cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Fix typo (programs -> problems).
* cvs.texinfo (File status): Change "Unresolved Conflict" to "File had conflicts on merge" per change to CVS.
* cvs.texinfo (admin): Add comments about "group" and "compiled in value". At least one info-cvs poster was confused by this.
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): It is just -t/-f which doesn't work client/server. -k *does* (well, except for the problem with import noted in BUGS). -m I don't know and I doubt anyone cares.
* cvs.texinfo (Read-only access): rephrase to imply that there may be other administrative files, besides history and locks, which read-only users can also affect (in the future, for example, the `passwd' file).
* Makefile.in, cvs.texinfo: Remove "675" paragraph; see ../ChangeLog for rationale.
* cvs.texinfo (Read-only access): new node. (Repository): new menu item for above new node. (Password authentication server): document the user-aliasing feature. Why was this undocumented before?
* cvs.texinfo (Conflicts example): Use @asis in example to prevent starting a line with a conflict marker. This means that when maintaining the file with CVS itself, CVS will not think there is a conflict merely because of the conflict marker in the example. IMHO, this is totally bogus and CVS needs a better way of figuring out whether a conflict is resolved (see comments elsewhere in this node), but until then.... Credit to Fred Fish for reporting the problem.
* cvs.texinfo (cvsignore): Add paragraph about how .cvsignore files in the sources being imported by "cvs import" override "-I !". Credit goes to Fred Fish for pointing out this problem.
* cvs.texinfo (Credits): Update Roland Pesch email address per his request.
Tue Dec 17 12:57:56 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): In example, remove text "and reedit if necessary"; it was copied from editinfo and doesn't apply here. Fix syntax of if statement; remove unnecessary attempt at loop; don't use -n with echo. Add @appendixsec at start of node. Add note about how verifymsg cannot change log message. (editinfo): In paragraph saying editinfo is obsolete, fix various typos and formatting glitches. Mention -e as well as EDITOR. (editinfo): In saying that editinfo doesn't get consulted with -m, -F or client/server, recommend verifymsg. Remove comment which says, in effect, "we need a feature like verifymsg". (editinfo example): Change "verifymsg" back to "editinfo" here; the example is of editinfo not verifymsg. Tue Dec 17 12:45:32 1996 Abe Feldman <feldman@cyclic.com> * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): New node. various places: Say that editinfo is obsolete, or refer to verifymsg instead of editinfo
* cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about 1.3 and file death.
* cvs.texinfo (update output, release output): Document "P" as well as "U".
* cvs.texinfo (Builds): Change "make" to "implement" and "build"; in this context "make" is ambiguous. (Builds): Add new URL of mk web page.
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication client, Environment variables): Remove mention of CVS_PASSWORD.
* cvs.texinfo (Repository files): Mention differences between RCS files in RCS and in CVS. (Tags): Tag names must start with a letter.
* cvs.texinfo (syntax): Expand discussion of regular expression syntax.
* cvs.texinfo, cvsclient.texi: Make sure @ref and friends are followed by "," or "." as described in the texinfo manual. This is a dubious practice as texi2html and texinfo.tex don't require it, and makeinfo could insert them as needed, but since makeinfo doesn't do that yet, cope.
* cvs.texinfo (From files): Suggest "diff -r" rather than "ls -R" as the way to see that the sources seem to have been imported correctly. (Common options): -k is also available with import. (admin options): Fix typo ("interrested" -> "interested").
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comments about two digit years, year 2000, and ambiguous/nonexistent dates.
* cvs.texinfo (First import): Don't say what the wdiff program we are using as an example does--that is confusing. Also don't show untarring it--people might be familiar with cpio, ZIP, VMS BACKUP, etc., instead of tar.
* cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Update comment about "cvs add -m".
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Remove -H; -H is not a command option. (Global options): Also list --help and --version. Don't say that -H gives a list of commands; it doesn't any more (directly).
* cvs.texinfo: Add comment pointing to paper size web page.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Rewrite section on date formats. Executive summary is that RFC822 and ISO8601 are now preferred.
* cvs.texinfo (Getting Notified): Add paragraph clarifying that watches happen per user, not per working directory.
* cvs.texinfo (Tags): Suggest that future special tag names might start with ".". Fix typo.
* cvs.texinfo (Removing directories): -P is also available with export. (Moving directories): Rewrite first paragraph; now says that you must use -P for the directory to disappear from working directories. Thanks to Martin Lorentzon <Martin.Lorentzson@emw.ericsson.se> for reporting this bug. (various): Where we mention -P, point to Removing directories node.
* cvs.texinfo (Remote repositories): Add a few sentences defining "client" and "server"; before we had been using the terms without defining them.
* cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Add paragraph about reporting bugs. Reword and expand comp.software.config-mgmt description (and add comments about other newsgroup facts). Point people at GNU list of FTP sites rather than directly at prep.ai.mit.edu.
* cvs.texinfo (Tracking sources): Add comment regarding added and removed files.
* cvs.texinfo: Rename node "Invoking CVS" to "CVS commands". Rewrite the intro and comments to reflect addition of the new Invoking CVS. (Invoking CVS): New node, a quick summary of each command. (annotate): Don't list the options; refer to Invoking CVS and Common options instead.
* cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): New node, moved from ../README.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about how tar manual contains documentation for getdate date formats.
* cvs.texinfo (commit examples): Rewrite "New major release number" section to tighten up the wording, better motivate the discussion, and replace the term "rcs revision number" with "numeric revision".
* cvs.texinfo (loginfo): Don't say "a la printf"; the syntax is only vaguely similar to printf.
* cvs.texinfo (loginfo): To get just the repository name, suggest %{} instead of % "standing alone"; the latter is now an error.
* cvs.texinfo (loginfo): add information on the new loginfo format string specification.
* cvs.texinfo (Builds): New node. (What is CVS?): Refer to it.
* cvs.texinfo (Choosing a model): Wording/grammar fix.
* cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Don't talk about modules; they are not relevant in this context. (Removing directories): New node. (Common options): Refer to it instead of duplicating information.
* cvs.texinfo (First import, import): Add paragraph about the fact that import doesn't modify the directory which it imports from.
* cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Add paragraph about resource requirements.
* cvs.texinfo (Copying): Replace empty node with a copy of the GPL.
* cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Revise comment to more accurately reflect the functioning/nonfunctioning status of cvs add -m.
* cvs.texinfo (Reverting local changes): New node, somewhat based on the version of this node from 30 Sep 96 change. (admin options): Refer to it.
* cvs.texinfo: Reinstate 30 Sep 96 change from A4 to US letter.
* cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): When telling people how to clean up locks, tell them to make sure the locks are owned by the person who has the stale locks. (update output, release output): Remove text about how CVS doesn't print "? foo" for directories; CVS has since been changed (see conflicts-130 in sanity.sh).
* cvs.texinfo (history options): Mention new option -x E.
* cvs.texinfo (Tags): Add paragraph on choosing a convention for naming tags.
* cvs.texinfo (modules): Describe what & does.
* cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Correct apparent cut and paste error: refer to the removed file, not the added file.
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): note -p for inetd.conf command line. (Global options): GREPBIN -> GREP. (Global options): DIFFBIN -> DIFF. (Global options): new environment variable PATCH, and '-p'. (Variables): GREPBIN -> GREP. (Variables): DIFFBIN -> DIFF. (Variables): new variable PATCH. (Environment variables): GREPBIN -> GREP. (Environment variables): DIFFBIN -> DIFF. (Environment variables): new environment variable PATCH.
* cvs.texinfo: Revert all recent changes (the last unscathed one is the CVSUMASK one from Sunday). For the most part said changes are for new features which are not appropriate at this stage of the release process. None of the changes being reverted need to go into 1.9, that is for sure.
* cvs.texinfo (Credits): add comment asking if we should update. Add more detail about printing Letter on A4. Add some comments about internal comments. (From files): describe "cvs import -b 1" for importing existing projects onto the main branch. (First import): add a couple of helpful hints about naming vendor and release tags, etc., and regularize the examples with this. (Tracking sources): noted some reasons why you might use vendor branches with "cvs import". (Update imports): mention using "update" in place of "checkout" if you have an existing working directory. (Binary files in imports): add sub-menu separator comment. (Tracking sources): new menu entry "Reverting to vendor release". (Reverting to vendor release): new node to describe reverting local changes and optionally using patch(1) to move local changes forward. (Global options): describe -D and -g, as well as DIFFBIN and GREPBIN. (export examples): add one. (import options): describe the effect of '-b 1'.
* cvs.texinfo (Global options): describe -D and -g, as well as DIFFBIN and GREPBIN.
* cvs.texinfo: Adjust comments concerning A4 vs. US letter, referring to ../README.
* cvs.texinfo: Adjust comments concerning A4 vs. US letter, referring to ../README.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about dates which CVS uses in output.
* cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Don't mention Name twice.
* cvs.texinfo: don't force afourpaper -- Letter prints much better on A4 than the other way around, believe you me! (rdiff options): describe -k and new -K. (RCS keywords): add description of $Name. (Using keywords): add description of #ident and example of using $Name. - also fixed cross references to Substitution modes in various places. (import options): mention that -b 1 imports to the trunk.
* cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Expand CVSUMASK stuff a bit. (Setting a watch, Environment variables, Global options): Update index entries for "read-only files, and ...".
* cvs.texinfo (Repository): Move all information about the internal structure of the repository to User modules node. Rename it to "Repository storage" ("User modules" wasn't particularly clear). Mention CVSUMASK. Much clarification and reorganization. (Basic concepts): Remove material which duplicates what is now in Repository. Rewrite paragraph introducing modules.
* cvs.texinfo (Starting a new project): In discussing difficulty in renaming files, don't refer to "cvs 1.x"--there is no non-vaporous "cvs 2.x". Reword to reflect that part of the reason to avoid renames (where possible) is not because of CVS at all, and to try to give a general impression of how bad CVS issues involved in renaming are.
* cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Talk about directories, not modules, since that is what is meant. Suggest using -kb option to add rather than running cvs admin after the fact and xref to Binary files not admin examples. Incorporate information which had been in "add" node (there was a lot of duplication). Don't document use of "add" on a directory to take the place of "cvs update -d"; the latter is simpler and more logical. (add, add options, add examples): Removed. (release output, release options): Update xrefs accordingly. (Adding files, Removing files): Mention the fact that adds and removes are branch-specific. (Merging adds and removals): New node.
* cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): When mentioning RCS locks, use the term reserved checkouts and xref to the place where we discuss them in more depth.
* cvs.texinfo (log): Add comments about timezones. (log, Common options): Add index entries for timezone and zone, time.
* cvs.texinfo (log options): Add xref to where we describe the date formats that -d accepts. (Common options): Don't refer to date formats accepted by co(1); CVS's rules have never been the same. Add long whiny comment about what a mess date formats are.
* cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): The RCS file must not be locked when you copy it to the CVS repository.
* cvs.texinfo (Editing files): Also discuss how to revert in the non-watch case. Add some index entries.
* cvs.texinfo (update output): Add comment about how we *should* be handling .# files. Mention fact that it is different under VMS. Add .# to index.
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Revise text on reserved versus unreserved checkouts extensively. Move index entries for "reserved checkouts" and "RCS-style locking" to here. Add cross-reference to cvs admin -l. Add new section "Choosing a model". (Editing files): Add note about use of the word "checkout".
* cvs.texinfo (Defining the module): Don't suggest "cvs co modules"; that depends on a "modules" module being defined which is not the default which is created by "cvs init". Instead suggest "cvs co CVSROOT/modules" which should always work.
* cvs.texinfo (Rename by copying): Suggest "cvs tag -d" on the file "new", not on everything. Also don't suggest deleting branch tags.
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add comment about using wrappers to compress files in the repository.
* cvs.texinfo (modules): Add comments about how we should be documenting how -i and friends operate in client/server CVS.
* cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Describe the need for write permissions for locks and val-tags.
* cvs.texinfo (commitinfo): Add comment about using commitinfo to enforce who has access.
* cvs.texinfo (checkout): Refer to "update output" node. (import): Add new import output node. (release): Correct release output menu entry (used to be release options instead). (update output): Say this is output from checkout as well as update.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about what HEAD means.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Clarify that CVS uses MM/DD/YY dates.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about what HEAD means.
* cvs.texinfo (Global options): Document global '-T' option.
* cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): New node.
* cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Delete song and dance about how cvs log can't cope with magic branches because rlog doesn't know about them; cvs log no longer calls rlog. Delete item about how you can't specify a symbolic branch to cvs log; that is fixed.
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Add comments regarding port numbers and troubleshooting.
* cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Reword text regarding info-cvs, to avoid overfull hbox.
* cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add comment about further issues with recovering from failure to use -kb.
* cvs.texinfo (Conflicts example): Describe the "feature" by which CVS won't check in files with conflicts. (File status): Expand and revise to document all the possible statuses from cvs status. Also document "Working revision" and "Repository revision". Refer to other sections for other aspects of cvs status. (status options): Refer to other sections as appropriate. (update output): Refer user to Conflicts example node. Add comment regarding purging of .# files.
Fix quoting mistake in example of testing rsh.
* cvs.texinfo (Kerberos authenticated): Mention need for --enable-encryption option in order to use encryption. (Global options): Likewise, in description of -x option.
* cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Discuss :ext:, :server:, and CVS_RSH. (Remote repositories): Mention what default is if no access method is specified. (Environment variables): Don't discuss CVS_RSH at length here; rely on reference to "Connecting via rsh" node.
* cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Document Name keyword.
* cvs.texinfo (Tags): Revise comment regarding legal tag names.
* cvs.texinfo (Tags): Revise comment regarding legal tag names.
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication security): Add comment about how some of this is not pserver-specific.
* cvs.texinfo (log, log options): Update for changes to cvs log now that it no longer invokes rlog.
* cvs.texinfo (Kerberos authenticated): Change the note that the Kerberos connection is not encrypted. (Global options): Add documentation for -x. * cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Remove enhancement note about Kerberos encryption. (Requests): Add documentation for Kerberos-encrypt request.
* cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Mention need to be able to create lock files in the repository.
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Document -k. (From files, Binary files in imports): Say that imports can deal with binary files and refer to Wrappers node for details. (Binary files): Likewise for imports and adds.
* cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add paragraph concerning the fact that the keyword expansion mode is not versioned, and why this is a problem.
* cvs.texinfo (log): Don't document "rlog"; it is deprecated.
Fix example of 'checkout'.
* cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Document more temp directory nonsense, this time with "patch".
* cvs.texinfo (Sticky tags): Update to reflect change in "resurrected" message.
* cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Add comment about what we might be saying about troubleshooting.
Minor typos.
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication security): Add comment regarding anoncvs as practised by OpenBSD.
* cvs.texinfo (Administrative files): Add xref to Intro administrative files. (Intro administrative files): Add comment suggesting future reorganizations of this material. (syntax): Add comment regarding this node. (Getting Notified): Actually document the notify file. It hadn't really been documented to speak of. (editinfo,loginfo,rcsfino,cvsignore): Make the index entries follow the standard "foo (admin file)" format.
* cvs.texinfo (editinfo): Discuss the way editinfo falls down in the face of -m or -F options to commit, or remote CVS.
* cvs.texinfo (Watches): Add comment discussing the fact that using cvs edit instead of chmod is not enforced.
* cvs.texinfo (Setting up): Add index entry for "init (subcommand)". (Creating a repository): Move contents of node Setting up here... (Setting up): ...and remove this node. (Creating a repository): Don't refer to the INSTALL file (it just refers back to us!).
* cvs.texinfo (annotate): Document new -r, -D, and -f options.
* cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Add comment describing why only some commands are listed here. (Structure, Environment variables): Don't describe CVS as a front-end to RCS.
cvs tag got new option -c for up-to-date check
* cvs.texinfo: Add index entries for :local:, etc. (Password authentication server): Revert erroneous change regarding the format of CVSROOT/passwd file. * cvsclient.texi (Notes): Removed paragraphs about various server invocations which are now described in full in node "Connection and Authentication." (Requests): Include a note that "gzip-file-contents" doesn't follow the upper/lowercase convention and that unknown reqests always elicit a response, regardless of capitalization. * cvs.texinfo (Kerberos authenticated): Removed bogus version number. (Repository): explain the ":local:" access method. * cvsclient.texi (Goals): mention access methods. (Requests): add note about convention: requests starting with a captial letter don't have any expected response. Made sure each request has a "Response expected" note. * cvs.texinfo (Remote repositories): add info about access methods; fix pserver info.
* cvs.texinfo (Credits): Rewrite section on FAQ to reflect the fact that FAQ is no longer maintained. (What is CVS?): Mention comp.software.config-mgmt as well as info-cvs. Mention the fact that info-cvs-request can be slow in responding. (What is CVS?): Rather than say that cvs is not a configuration mangement system, say specifically what it lacks (change control, etc.). I added process control (which was sorely lacking from the list of configuration management functionality), and deleted some functions such as tape construction which are not provided by the well-known configuration management systems.
* cvs.texinfo (checkout options): Add comment regarding subdirectories (lack of clarity pointed out by ian@cygnus.com). Add comment about that infernal "short as possible" wording.
* cvs.texinfo (Global options): Fix error ("diff" -> "log") (reported by ian@cygnus.com). Remove footnote "Yes, this really should be fixed, and it's being worked on"--it isn't clear what "this" is, and I doubt anyone is working on it.
* cvs.texinfo (rdiff): description from main.c:cmd_usage (rtag): description from main.c:cmd_usage (status): description from main.c:cmd_usage (tag): description from main.c:cmd_usage [all for the sake of consistency]
* cvs.texinfo: Add index entries for :local:, etc. (Password authentication server): Revert erroneous change regarding the format of CVSROOT/passwd file.
* cvsclient.texi (Notes): Removed paragraphs about various server invocations which are now described in full in node "Connection and Authentication."

(Repository): explain the ":local:" access method.
* cvsclient.texi (Goals): mention access methods. (Requests): add note about convention: requests starting with a captial letter don't have any expected response.

* cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Try to document somewhat more accurately where we put temporary files.
