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.
v Generate only the value of a keyword, rather than the name and value. This is
most useful with cvs export, but do not use it for binary files. Once any
keyword is removed from a file, further expansions are not possible unless
the word is replaced.
kv Generate the name and value of a keyword. This is the default mode.
kvl Generate the name and value of a keyword and add the name of the locking
user if the revision is locked with cvs admin -l.
Dates
In CVS, all dates and times are processed by a version of the GNU getdate func-
tion, which can translate dates and times given in several different formats. Case is
always irrelevant when interpreting dates. Spaces are permitted in date strings, but
in the command-line client, a string with spaces should be surrounded by quotes.
If a year is 0 to 99, it is considered to be in the twentieth century.
If a time is not given, midnight at the start of the date is assumed. If a time zone is
not specified, the date is interpreted as being in the client’s local time zone.
Legal Date Formats
The legal time and date formats for CVS are defined by the ISO 8601 standard
and RFC 822 as amended by RFC 1123. Other formats can be interpreted, but
CVS is designed to handle only these standards.
