Chapter 13: The Concurrent Versions System (CVS)
This is the Title of the Book, eMatter Edition
Copyright © 2006 O’Reilly & Associates, Inc. All rights reserved.
This all makes sense: work on a branch should be done only on that branch.
When work on the branch is finished, the branch’s changes should be merged
into the files on the trunk, instead of checking the files into the head of the trunk
directly.
Stickiness is created or changed using the -D, -k or -r options to cvs checkout and
cvs update. Use cvs update -A to remove stickiness. You must use this command
on a sticky directory directly; applying it just to all the contained files in the direc-
tory is not enough.
See Chapter 4 in Essential CVS (O’Reilly) for more details.
Command-Line Syntax and Options
CVS supports a number of command-line options that you can use to control
various aspects of CVS behavior. Each CVS subcommand has its own options, as
well.
The syntax of any CVS command is as follows:
cvs [cvs-options] [command] [command-options-and-arguments]
The cvs-options modify the behavior of the main CVS code, rather than the code
for a specific command.
cvs Options
Options to the cvs command are supplied before the particular subcommand to
be executed. This section focuses on options that you pass to the cvs executable
itself, not to any specific CVS command. The following options are valid:
-a Authenticate all network traffic.
