Removing Files
To remove a file from the repository, first remove the file from the sandbox directory; then run the following command from the sandbox directory that contained the file:
cvs remove filename
The
deletion does not take effect until the next cvs
commit command is run; the file remains in the repository
until then.
Example 2-20 shows a deletion. After the
cvs commit is run, CVS doesn’t remove the
file entirely; it puts it in a special subdirectory in the repository
called
Attic
. This saves the file history and
enables the file to be returned to the repository later.
CVS opens an editor so you can record the reason for the file deletion, as it does when you commit changes.
Example 2-20. Removing a file
$rm file3$cvs remove file3cvs remove: scheduling `file3' for removal cvs remove: use 'cvs commit' to remove this file permanently $cvs commit... Log message editor opens ... Removing file3;" 9L, 308C written /var/lib/cvsroot/example/file3,v <-- file3 new revision: delete; previous revision: 1.1 done
CVS does not remove directories from the repository, because doing so
would break the change tracking. Use the -P flag
to cvs checkout and cvs
update to avoid empty directories in your sandbox.
