Removing Files from the Repository
The
cvs remove
command is used to mark a file as removed in the repository. The file
isn’t actually removed from the repository; it
simply is stored in a special directory called
Attic, so that its earlier revisions can be
recalled. The file is no longer sent to sandboxes, and it is removed
from existing sandboxes at the next cvs update,
which displays the message cvs server: filename is no
longer in the repository.
A removal must be committed before it affects the repository. If you
notice that you accidentally removed a file you need (before you run
cvs commit), you can use cvs
add to undo the removal and then use cvs
update to retrieve the removed file. This process leaves
no record in the repository. Similarly, if a file has been added but
not committed, cvs remove undoes the addition
and leaves no record in the repository.
If someone else modifies a removed file before the removal is
committed, the commit will fail and report a conflict. Resolve the
conflict by unremoving the file with cvs add,
checking the changes with cvs update or
cvs diff, and removing the file again if
desired. I strongly recommend speaking with the person who modified
the file before you resolve such a conflict, lest you remove a file
that should be retained.
To use cvs remove on a file, the file must not
exist in the sandbox or you must call the cvs
remove command with -f. Usually, I
delete the file from the sandbox before running cvs
remove.
