Why was this undocumented before? + +Wed Jan 1 18:12:11 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (Conflicts example): Use @asis in example to prevent + starting a line with a conflict marker. This means that when + maintaining the file with CVS itself, CVS will not think there is + a conflict merely because of the conflict marker in the example. + IMHO, this is totally bogus and CVS needs a better way of figuring + out whether a conflict is resolved (see comments elsewhere in this + node), but until then.... Credit to Fred Fish for reporting the + problem. + + * cvs.texinfo (cvsignore): Add paragraph about how .cvsignore + files in the sources being imported by "cvs import" override + "-I !". Credit goes to Fred Fish for pointing out this problem. + +Thu Dec 19 12:36:46 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (Credits): Update Roland Pesch email address per his + request. + +Tue Dec 17 12:57:56 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): In example, remove text "and reedit if + necessary"; it was copied from editinfo and doesn't apply here. + Fix syntax of if statement; remove unnecessary attempt at loop; + don't use -n with echo. Add @appendixsec at start of node. + Add note about how verifymsg cannot change log message. + (editinfo): In paragraph saying editinfo is obsolete, fix various + typos and formatting glitches. Mention -e as well as EDITOR. + (editinfo): In saying that editinfo doesn't get consulted with -m, + -F or client/server, recommend verifymsg. Remove comment which + says, in effect, "we need a feature like verifymsg". + (editinfo example): Change "verifymsg" back to "editinfo" here; + the example is of editinfo not verifymsg. + +Tue Dec 17 12:45:32 1996 Abe Feldman <feldman@cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (verifymsg): New node. + various places: Say that editinfo is obsolete, or refer to + verifymsg instead of editinfo + +Wed Dec 11 08:55:26 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about 1.3 and file death. + + * cvs.texinfo (update output, release output): Document "P" as + well as "U". + +Tue Dec 10 16:23:40 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (Builds): Change "make" to "implement" and "build"; + in this context "make" is ambiguous. + (Builds): Add new URL of mk web page. + +Mon Dec 9 11:03:37 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (Password authentication client, Environment + variables): Remove mention of CVS_PASSWORD. + +Sun Dec 8 22:38:34 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (Repository files): Mention differences between RCS + files in RCS and in CVS. + (Tags): Tag names must start with a letter. + +Fri Dec 6 09:08:18 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (syntax): Expand discussion of regular expression + syntax. + +Fri Nov 29 09:06:41 1996 fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish) + and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo, cvsclient.texi: Make sure @ref and friends are + followed by "," or "." as described in the texinfo manual. This + is a dubious practice as texi2html and texinfo.tex don't require + it, and makeinfo could insert them as needed, but since makeinfo + doesn't do that yet, cope. + + * cvs.texinfo (From files): Suggest "diff -r" rather than "ls -R" + as the way to see that the sources seem to have been imported + correctly. + (Common options): -k is also available with import. + (admin options): Fix typo ("interrested" -> "interested"). + +Mon Nov 25 10:03:56 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comments about two digit + years, year 2000, and ambiguous/nonexistent dates. + +Sun Nov 24 17:27:24 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (First import): Don't say what the wdiff program we + are using as an example does--that is confusing. Also don't show + untarring it--people might be familiar with cpio, ZIP, VMS BACKUP, + etc., instead of tar. + + * cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Update comment about "cvs add -m". + + * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Remove -H; -H is not a command + option. + (Global options): Also list --help and --version. Don't say that + -H gives a list of commands; it doesn't any more (directly). + + * cvs.texinfo: Add comment pointing to paper size web page. + + * cvs.texinfo (Common options): Rewrite section on date formats. + Executive summary is that RFC822 and ISO8601 are now preferred. + +Wed Nov 20 08:39:45 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (Getting Notified): Add paragraph clarifying that + watches happen per user, not per working directory. + +Tue Nov 19 09:39:08 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo (Tags): Suggest that future special tag names might + start with ".". Fix typo. + + * cvs.texinfo (Removing directories): -P is also available with + export. + (Moving directories): Rewrite first paragraph; now says that you + must use -P for the directory to disappear from working + directories. Thanks to Martin Lorentzon + <Martin.Lorentzson@emw.ericsson.se> for reporting this bug. + (various): Where we mention -P, point to Removing directories + node. + +Sat Nov 16 18:03:22 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvsclient.texi (Example): Rewrite to actually be based on a real + live example (and therefore reflect the way the protocol currently + works). Add comment about formatting of the document itself. + +Thu Nov 14 10:22:58 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com> + + * cvsclient.texi (Introduction): Use @ref, not @xref, after "see". + (Goals): Rewrite items about locking, about uploading in big + chunks, and about atomicity to be focused more on the protocol + than the current implementation. + (Notes): Remove this node. The attempt to describe the basic + model has pretty much been replaced by the Introduction. + The material about how to start the client is incomplete and + better left to cvs.texinfo. And the item about the lack of + SERVER_FLOWCONTROL is obsolete now that SERVER_FLOWCONTROL is the + default. + (Protocol Notes): Add comment about multisite features. + (Requirements): Use @code for requests and responses. + + * cvs.texinfo (Remote repositories): Add a few sentences defining + "client" and "server"; before we had been using the terms without + defining them. + + * cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Add paragraph about reporting bugs. + Reword and expand comp.software.config-mgmt description (and add + comments about other newsgroup facts).
