Synopsis
release
[ -d ]
directory ...Sandboxes can be abandoned or deleted without using cvs
release, but 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 sandbox file before deleting
anything. This can prevent destroying work that has not yet been
committed.
There is only one option that can be used with the
release command: the -d
option deletes the sandbox copy if no uncommitted changes are
present.
Note
New directories (including any files in them) in the sandbox will be
deleted if the -d option is used with
release.
The status codes listed in Table 17-25 describe the disposition of each file encountered in the repository and the sandbox.
