Synopsis

                        release
  [ -d ]
  directory 

Sandboxes can be abandoned or deleted without using cvs release if desired; using the release command logs an entry to the history file (if this mechanism is configured) about the sandbox being destroyed. In addition, it checks the disposition (recursively) of each of the sandbox files before deleting anything. This can help prevent destroying work that has not yet been committed.

There is only one option that can be used with the release command, -d. The -d option deletes the sandbox copy if no uncommitted changes are present.

Tip

New directories (including any files in them) in the sandbox are deleted if the -d option is used with release.

The status codes listed in Table 18-34 are used to describe the disposition of each file encountered in the repository and the sandbox.
