1999-01-29 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo: Use EXAMPLE.COM EXAMPLE.ORG and EXAMPLE.NET instead
of domains which might conflict with actual (current or future)
domains. The EXAMPLE domains are registered for this purpose.
1999-01-22 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Sticky tags): Refer to -j as the better way to undo
a change.
(Merging two revisions): Also talk about undoing removals and
adds. Move the index entries to here.
1999-01-21 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "waiting for USER's lock".
1999-01-16 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Comment out all the -t/-f documentation,
since that feature is currently disabled.
1999-01-14 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Add some more index entries so
that people who want to use SSH and such are slightly less lost.
1999-01-12 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
* cvs-paper.ms: Remove comments which contained the FSF's old
address; it has changed.
1998-12-29 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Dates): Numeric timezones are preferred.
Also mention the Checkin-time request.
1998-12-23 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com>
* RCSFILES: Add clarification about certain character set issues
from Paul Eggert, the RCS maintainer. The last paragraph and the
change from Shift-JIS to JIS as an example of a character set
which contains 0x40 bytes which are not '@' characters are mine;
the rest is directly from Paul Eggert.
1998-12-22 Martin Buchholz <martin@xemacs.org>
* cvs.texinfo: Fixed various trivial typos.
1998-12-17 Jim Kingdon
* cvsclient.texi (Responses): Explicitly say that Mod-time need
not be sent for all files.
1998-12-16 Jim Kingdon
Thanks to Ram Rajadhyaksha of the MacCVS Pro team for raising the
following issues.
* cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): The deal about storing
files as text files applies to all the CVS/* files, not just
CVS/Entries. State the rationale too.
Document CVSROOT/Emptydir in CVS/Repository.
There is no set order in CVS/Entries.
Explicitly say that writing Entries.Log is optional.
1998-12-03 Jim Kingdon
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "unrecognized auth response".
(Password authentication server): Remove comment about
"unrecognized auth response" and link to the troubleshooting
section.
1998-12-02 Jim Kingdon
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): Add an example.
1998-11-18 Jim Kingdon
* cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): Change "-r tag" to "-r rev". We
already use "tag" as the name of the tag we are adding.
1998-11-13 Jim Kingdon
* cvs.texinfo (CVS commands): Add comment about whether part of
the manual should be organized by command.
1998-11-06 Jim Kingdon
Clean up various confusions between modules and directories:
* cvs.texinfo: In "are you sure you want to release" message,
change module to directory. CVS was changed some time ago.
(Tags): "working copy of the module" -> "working directory".
(Merging two revisions): Remove unnecessary text "that make up a
module".
(Recursive behavior): Change "module" to "directory".
(Removing files): Likewise.
(Tracking sources): Remove "a module" from titles.
(Moving directories): Change "module" to "parent-dir".
(Inside): Remove "of the module".
(Inside): Change "module" to "dir".
(Rename by copying): Change "module" to "dir".
(Rename by copying): Remove "of the module".
(Moving directories): "copy of the module" -> "checked out copy of
the directory"; remove second "of the module". Change "check out
the module" to " check out again".
(Moving directories): Remove "of the module".
(Keyword substitution): "your working copy of a module" -> "a
working directory".
(CVS commands): Change "module" to "directory".
(release examples): "module" -> "tc directory".
(commitinfo): "relative path to the module" -> "directory in the
repository".
(verifymsg): Change "module" to "directory".
(Updating a file): "working copy of a module" -> "working directory".
1998-10-25 Jim Kingdon
* cvs.texinfo (Branches and revisions): Fix error in branch
numbering which was introduced with change of 4 May 1997.
1998-10-20 Jim Kingdon
* cvs.texinfo (Tags): Point to Invoking CVS node so people aren't
left wondering what the syntax is. When introducing -r option,
warn people about sticky tags right off.
(Tagging the working directory, Tagging by date/tag, Modifying
tags, Tagging add/remove): New sections.
(Invoking CVS): Adjust tag and rtag to point to the new sections,
and to add tag -c which had been omitted. Delete tag -n; there is
no such option.
(rtag, tag): Removed; no longer needed.
(commit examples): Update xref.
1998-10-15 Jim Kingdon
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): It is OK to send Set before Root.
1998-10-13 Jim Kingdon
* cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Remove item about "cvs update"
sending modified files to the server; there are some better ideas
at http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/dev-update.txt
Add mention of www.cyclic.com.
1998-09-30 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Committing your changes, Environment variables):
Document VISUAL.
1998-09-27 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Say explicitly
that you edit passwd directly, many users get confused by this.
1998-09-24 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Connecting via fork): :fork: may be of interest to
users, for example those who prefer CVS to prompt for one log
message per checkin, rather than one per directory.
(Connecting via fork): Document CVS_SERVER.
1998-09-24 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Connecting via fork): new node about the fork
access method.
1998-09-22 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Document
CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT in the CVS 1.10 context.
(Moving a repository): Update comments concerning surgery on
CVS/Root and CVS/Repository files.
1998-09-21 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): remove information about
CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT, since it's no longer used.
1998-09-21 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (config): Mention that CVS 1.10 doesn't have
LockDir.
1998-09-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Describe $Name and checking out with
a revision.
1998-09-16 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo: RFC2346 is out; update comment.
1998-09-13 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Keyword list, Substitution modes): In describing
$Locker and -kkvl, refer to cvs admin -l.
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): Re-word description of Sticky to
allow room for "Ntagname" (or other, future, values).
* cvs.texinfo (tag): Remove confusing wording about supplying
revision numbers "implicitly".
1998-09-10 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (rdiff options): Thanks to the diff library, -u is
supported regardless of your diff program.
1998-09-07 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (config): Add LockDir.
1998-09-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): "Directory" and "Argument" are
requests, not commands. Likewise for "other-request". A command,
roughly, is a request that uses "Argument"s, but we might want to
phase out the use of that term more so than codify it, I'm not sure.
1998-09-01 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): added a detailed explanation of the
Directory request and how it is handled, both for pre-1.10 and
post-1.10 servers.
1998-09-01 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): Also describe the CVS 1.10
behavior. Looking at a mismatched version of the manual seems to
be a reasonably common occurrence.
* cvs.texinfo (Environment variables): Revert change regarding
CVS_SERVER_SLEEP*; having that kind of debugging code in the main
CVS is getting out of hand.
1998-09-01 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple repositories): brief mention that cvs now
handles a working directory composed of multiple repositories.
(Environment variables): add note about CVS_SERVER_SLEEP2.
1998-08-21 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Text tags): Document importmergecmd tag.
1998-08-20 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Replace out of date URL concerning
ISO8601 dates with a more general statement and a few comments.
1998-08-18 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add "Checkin-time" request.
Sun Jul 26 02:42:20 1998 Noel Cragg <noel@swish.red-bean.com>
* cvs.texinfo (config): TopLevelAdmin variable.
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): fix typo.
1998-07-14 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): "remove" is like "add" in the sense
that it is the "ci" request which does most of the work.
1998-06-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Excluding directories): Fix order of
"!first-dir/sdir" and "first-dir" to match what CVS actually
accepts. Reported by Tim McIntosh of sterling.com.
1998-06-09 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Using keywords): Rewrite to be less specific to
source code in C. The old text was worse than that; it was
specific to certain versions of GCC (not even current GCC's, I
don't think) (reported most recently by Mitchell Perilstein;
if memory serves by others before that).
1998-06-08 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): Also mention #cvs.lock. Don't
mention #cvs.tfl; it is quite old (before CVS 1.5).
(Locks, Backing up, Concurrency): Add more index entries.
1998-06-03 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Tracking sources): Clarify that the vendor branch
is only made the head revision when you import a new file, not any
time you import a file.
1998-05-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): info-cvs-request is now at gnu.org
and is no longer handled by a human (hallelujah).
1998-05-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@ascend.com>
* cvs.texinfo: Add an info dir entry.
Remove trailing white space.
1998-05-05 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Be more explicit that -m 'COPY' has no
effect on binary files.
1998-05-02 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* RCSFILES: Add more discussion of the order of the revisions.
1998-04-27 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (loginfo example): Also give example of sending
mail. Use internal variable $USER rather than expecting CVS to
set the environment variable $USER. Change unnecessary 'sed'
invocation to 'cat' (it suffered from the same problem in terms of
internal variables versus environment variables).
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add "conflict: removed FILE was
modified by second party".
1998-04-20 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Update comment about meaning of
HEAD in cvs diff.
1998-04-12 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Dates): Also mention log -d.
* cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): No space is allowed between -r or -w
and its argument, for the log command.
1998-04-11 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Dates): New section, explaining the deal with
date formats.
1998-04-09 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Global options, Invoking CVS): Fix typo
("files files" -> "files").

(s/subsequent cvs update/& commands/). Remove "vi driver.c" and
commit from example (totally vestigial). Reword start of

to branch sticky tags. When introducing sticky tags, make it
clear that even people who aren't trying to use sticky tags
may need to know how to avoid them. Restore comment about
CVS/Tag files.
(Accessing branches): Don't xref to merging here; that is a much
more advanced topic and the "but see" wording didn't tell us what

"Revision numbers".

Sat Oct 25 00:58:24 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

dead newphrase. Add item about what it means if "expand" is omitted.

the example no longer does what it claims to.

change; might be better to phase it out.

* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): Add assertion failed.
* cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Add "E" and
"error" as responses in authentication protocol. The server

* cvs.texinfo (Administrative files): Add comment concerning
writing triggers and particularly performance issues.

versions did with respect to the behavior now controlled by -F; we
don't try to document old versions here. Add comments concerning

changes.

by Jim Kingdon to reflect recent changes in cvs.texinfo)
Sun May 4 14:38:35 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about "D" lines in
Entries.
* cvs.texinfo (CVS commands, diff): Change "run diffs" to "show
differences"; the former is jargon.
(CVS commands): Don't refer to "rlog" in describing what log does.
* Makefile.in (cvsclient.dvi cvsclient.aux): Run texi2dvi rather
than (poorly) emulating it ourself.
Fix overfull and underfull hboxes:
* cvs.texinfo (What is CVS?): Add words "the newsgroup" before
"comp.sources.unix".
(Credits): Put list of people in @display.
(Repository files): Put /usr/local/cvsroot in @example.
(Connecting via rsh): Change "anklet" to "toe" in example.
(Kerberos authenticated, Password authentication client, Password
authentication server): Change "brickyard" to "yard" in example.
(Read-only access): Use @example and refer to files with a shorter
pathname.
(Server temporary directory): Use @example for pathname.
(Watches Compatibility): Add phony line break.
(Revision numbers): Remove revision 1.2.2.2 and tighten up the
spacing for "the main trunk".
(Tags, Creating a branch): Change /usr/local/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot.
(Merging more than once): Tighten up spacing for "the main trunk".
(Recursive behavior): Put long command in @example.
(First import): Remove word "called".

(Example): Change line breaks in example log message.
(Example): Change /home/kingdon/testing/cvsroot to /u/cvsroot.
* cvs.texinfo (Credits): Don't refer to appendix A and B, they
have been renumbered. Reword so that it works whether the text in
question has since been rewritten or not.
* cvs.texinfo (BUGS): Rewrite to reflect the many different ways
that one might want to handle bugs. Move information on Signum
and Cyclic from Preface to here. Remove information on known
deficiencies in the manual (some of them I'm not sure were really
things in need of improvement; others were too general to be
useful). For the most part FIXME comments are probably better for
this. Remove "Linkoping, October 1993, Per Cederqvist"--many
parts of the manual are now from other people, dates, and places.
(What is CVS): For the most part, just refer to BUGS concerning
bug-cvs. Also tell people how to subscribe to bug-cvs.
(Credits): Say that list is not comprehensive and refer to
ChangeLog.

Mon Apr 28 11:12:56 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Use "*.c" not "?.c" in example;
the former should be good for both unix and DOS-like operating
systems. Document -f option. Refer to Invoking CVS for a full
list of options. Add a few comments.
* cvs.texinfo (Invoking CVS): For checkout and update, call them
"sticky options" not "sticky kopts".
* cvs.texinfo (Editing files): Add additional comments on get
vs. checkout.
Sun Apr 27 16:17:06 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (commit): Only document the current flags (where -f
is force and -F file gets the message from a log file). We had
partly made this change on 9 Feb 1997, but some places got missed.

applying deltas to get to a branch head.
* DIFFUTILS-2.7-BUG: New file.
* cvs.texinfo (File status): Refer to "Invoking CVS", not

update" material.
(Invoking CVS): xref to "File status" and "Tags", not "status" and
"status options".

Tue Apr 22 14:23:32 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Expand ideas on multisite
features somewhat. Add items about the network turnarounds for
pserver authentication and for protocol negotiation.
Mon Apr 21 08:54:48 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Working directory storage): Describe what to do
with Entries.Log in more detail.
* cvsclient.texi (Responses): Say "CVS 1.9 and earlier" rather
than "pre version 1.10". The latter increases confusion by
referring to a version which doesn't exist yet.
Mon Apr 21 01:02:53 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Responses): Document Rcs-diff. Indicate that
Patched is now deprecated in favor of Rcs-diff.

about CMZ and PATCHY.

Copy-file relates to Merged.

worries about not clobbering the user's file.
Tue Apr 15 00:57:31 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* RCSFILES: Add notes on keyword expansion.

notifications right away.
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): For Notify request, clarify a few
future expansion situations. Specify the format of the time.
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): Clarify that arguments to co, rdiff,
and rtag are module names (and how that differs from file/directory
names).

directories one at a time.
Sat Apr 12 09:32:58 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

is notepad (not vi) for Windows NT/95. Be more clear about what
"cvs commit" does. Add paragraph about timestamps.

deferring "Notify" requests.

creation and empty directories.
* cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add comment about binary files and
merges.
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add discussion of when to send
Is-modified.
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): Sending Is-modified is enough to
prevent the file from being considered "lost".
Sun Mar 30 00:31:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add Is-modified request. Clarify
order of Entry relative to Unchanged or Is-modified (might as well
specify the same thing vis-a-vis Modified while we are at it).
Sat Mar 29 12:32:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi: Change "newline" to "linefeed". Most of the
document already reads "linefeed" and that is what is intended.
(File transmissions): New node, moved here from Requests.
(Goals, Filenames, File transmissions, new node Strings): Add
discussion of character sets and what we expect from the transport
protocol we run on.
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add paragraph about each Directory
request specifying a new local-directory and repository.
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add paragraph about renaming
local-directory in Directory request. Use "local-directory"
consistently instead of "working directory", for clarity.
Fri Mar 28 13:59:59 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): Make it clear that there is no
guarantee that one will get Clear-sticky instead of another
response. Also clarify that clients will tend to store the
repository in a long-term way.

of what expand-modules is for.
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): Add example, hopefully making it

(rtag options): Adjust discussion of -a accordingly.
(Repository files): Adjust accordingly.

error message.
* cvs.texinfo (history database): Add comment about various
problems with the history file.

* cvs.texinfo (Common options): "cvs editors" also outputs dates.
* cvs.texinfo (Outside): Fix paragraph which said that revision
numbers start at 1.0. First of all, it is 1.1. Second of all, it
is sometimes 2.1, 3.1, etc. Third of all, the xref should be to
Assigning revisions not commit options.
* cvs.texinfo (Outside): Comment out sentence which incorrectly
stated that "cvs add" can operate on "foo/bar.c".
Tue Mar 25 22:21:29 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Error messages): New node.
(Magic branch numbers): Move from Troubleshooting to Revisions and
branches. The former placement never made any sense to me.

that this node is right next to the other "main trunk" index
entry.
(BUGS): Very briefly mention reporting bugs in CVS.
* cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): Add comment about "Nfoo" in CVS/Tag.
Mon Mar 24 13:50:24 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Creating a branch): Add comment about -r in branch
example.
* cvsclient.texi (Responses): Discuss meaning of tagspec and
future expansion in Set-sticky. The behavior described is the one
which CVS has always implemented.
Fri Mar 21 14:19:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): Revise meaning of "Case" per change
to CVS.
Tue Mar 18 15:50:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
The following reorganization hopefully presents numeric revisions
in a slightly more coherent fashion. The only new material is the
paragraph about assigning revisions for added files.
* cvs.texinfo (A sample session): Bring in a sentence from Basic
concepts node, defining a repository.
(Revisions and branches): Renamed from Branches (it has always
covered non-branch tags too). Bring in nodes "Revision numbers" and
"Versions revisions releases" from Basic concepts, the former in
particular was way too detailed for an intro section.
(A sample session): Add comment about how we need an introduction
and what might go into one. Also bring in the paragraph from
Basic concepts introducing modules, but comment it out.
(Viewing differences): Add comment about
(Basic concepts): Removed; its content has been farmed out as
described above, and as the comment said, it was fundamentally
flawed.
(Assigning revisions): New node. Incorporates the "New major
release number" subsubsec which was in "commit examples". Add
paragraph concerning how CVS assigns revisions on added files.
(commit options): Refer to that node under -r.

Sun Mar 16 12:37:12 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

files; but it is (still) awkward for client/server CVS.
Sat Mar 15 17:41:12 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Add comment about where this
should go.
Thu Mar 13 09:11:36 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

-> "manual is about"). Reported by Philippe De Muyter.
Sun Mar 9 09:06:40 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

CVSUMASK.

* cvs.texinfo (From scratch): Add comment about creating
directories with add rather than import.
* cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Add comment about how this

Thu Feb 27 15:20:49 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Reword section on "cvs admin
-l". As nearly as I can tell based on when it came up on info-cvs
and other contexts, people who are into reserved checkouts
generally find that cvs admin -l is OK. Add a bunch more notes
(inside @ignore) about reserved checkout implementation ideas.
Sun Feb 23 16:12:03 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add various additional comments
about date formats.
* RCSFILES: Remove diff for Id and explain it in words instead.
The previous values for Id had been clobbered by keyword expansion
on the RCSFILES file itself.
Sat Feb 22 14:16:28 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Fix typo (missing backslash).
Fri Feb 21 23:08:38 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* RCSFILES: New file.
* Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Add RCSFILES.
20 Feb 1997 Lenny Foner <foner@media.mit.edu>
* cvs.texinfo (Checklist): Fix typo ("keword" -> "keyword").
Thu Feb 20 21:57:05 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): Add "web" to index.
Wed Feb 12 18:44:16 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication client, Invoking CVS):
Document "cvs logout" command.
Tue Feb 11 20:42:45 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* cvs.texinfo (commit options): Document that the -f option to
commit disables recursion.
Sun Feb 9 13:58:59 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (diff options): Document all the options we pass
through to diff. Remove paragraph about -D sometimes meaning
--ifdef since that is no longer true.
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Add lengthy comment about
reserved checkout design issues.
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add paragraph about timestamps.
* cvs.texinfo (commit options): Don't try to document what CVS 1.3
does with -f and how recent versions differ: 1.3 is pretty old
anyway, we generally only try to document the current version, and
the way it was described here was pretty confusing.
(Environment variables): Likewise for CVSEDITOR.
* cvs.texinfo (import output): Add index entries for symbolic
links. Add brief mention of whether behavior should be
different. Add comments on other symbolic link issues.
Wed Feb 5 13:02:37 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): Add comment about commit/commit
atomicity.
Mon Feb 3 10:55:41 1997 joel boutros <nihilis@moral.addiction.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Fix typo (programs -> problems).
Fri Jan 31 12:18:47 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Correct typo
(``sent'' for ``send''), and rewrite sentence for clarity.
Fri Jan 24 10:31:57 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (File status): Change "Unresolved Conflict" to "File
had conflicts on merge" per change to CVS.
Sun Jan 19 16:21:17 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (admin): Add comments about "group" and "compiled in
value". At least one info-cvs poster was confused by this.
Thu Jan 16 17:54:51 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): It is just -t/-f which doesn't work
client/server. -k *does* (well, except for the problem with
import noted in BUGS). -m I don't know and I doubt anyone cares.
Mon Jan 13 15:41:02 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@ynu38.ynu.edu.cn>
* cvs.texinfo (Read-only access): rephrase to imply that there may
be other administrative files, besides history and locks, which
read-only users can also affect (in the future, for example, the
`passwd' file).
Wed Jan 8 14:50:47 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* Makefile.in: Remove CVSid; we decided to get rid
of these some time ago.
Wed Jan 8 09:08:36 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Connection and Authentication): Document
restriction that cvs root sent in the cvs protocol and in the
pserver authentication protocol must be identical.
Thu Jan 2 13:30:56 1997 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* Makefile.in, cvs.texinfo: Remove "675" paragraph;
see ../ChangeLog for rationale.
Thu Jan 2 09:34:51 1997 Karl Fogel <kfogel@ynu38.ynu.edu.cn>
* cvs.texinfo (Read-only access): new node.
(Repository): new menu item for above new node.
(Password authentication server): document the user-aliasing
feature. 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). Point people at GNU list
of FTP sites rather than directly at prep.ai.mit.edu.
Wed Nov 6 09:45:08 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Tracking sources): Add comment regarding added and
removed files.
Tue Nov 5 14:00:31 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo: Rename node "Invoking CVS" to "CVS commands".
Rewrite the intro and comments to reflect addition of the new
Invoking CVS.
(Invoking CVS): New node, a quick summary of each command.
(annotate): Don't list the options; refer to Invoking CVS and
Common options instead.
Sun Nov 3 21:22:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Compatibility): New node, moved from ../README.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about how tar manual
contains documentation for getdate date formats.
Fri Nov 1 14:00:31 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (commit examples): Rewrite "New major release
number" section to tighten up the wording, better motivate the
discussion, and replace the term "rcs revision number" with
"numeric revision".
Fri Oct 25 07:49:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (loginfo): Don't say "a la printf"; the syntax is
only vaguely similar to printf.
* cvs.texinfo (loginfo): To get just the repository name, suggest
%{} instead of % "standing alone"; the latter is now an error.
Tue Oct 22 13:08:54 1996 Noel Cragg <noel@gargle.rain.org>
* cvs.texinfo (loginfo): add information on the new loginfo format
string specification.
Mon Oct 21 17:33:44 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Builds): New node.
(What is CVS?): Refer to it.
Sat Oct 19 14:32:21 1996 Jim Meyering <meyering@asic.sc.ti.com>
and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Choosing a model): Wording/grammar fix.
Sat Oct 19 14:32:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Obsolete): New node.
(Requests): Remove Repository and Lost and adjust Directory,
UseUnchanged, and other places accordingly.
(Required): Directory and Unchanged are now required.
* cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Don't talk about modules; they are
not relevant in this context.
(Removing directories): New node.
(Common options): Refer to it instead of duplicating information.
Fri Oct 18 11:05:06 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (First import, import): Add paragraph about the fact
that import doesn't modify the directory which it imports from.
* cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Add paragraph about
resource requirements.
* cvs.texinfo (Copying): Replace empty node with a copy of the GPL.
Thu Oct 17 12:10:55 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Revise comment to more accurately
reflect the functioning/nonfunctioning status of cvs add -m.
* cvs.texinfo (Reverting local changes): New node, somewhat based
on the version of this node from 30 Sep 96 change.
(admin options): Refer to it.
* cvs.texinfo: Reinstate 30 Sep 96 change from A4 to US letter.
* cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): When telling people how to clean up
locks, tell them to make sure the locks are owned by the person
who has the stale locks.
(update output, release output): Remove text about how CVS doesn't
print "? foo" for directories; CVS has since been changed (see
conflicts-130 in sanity.sh).
Wed Oct 16 15:01:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (history options): Mention new option -x E.
Mon Oct 14 15:21:25 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Tags): Add paragraph on choosing a convention for
naming tags.
Thu Oct 10 16:05:26 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (modules): Describe what & does.
Mon Oct 7 17:20:11 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Removing files): Correct apparent cut and paste
error: refer to the removed file, not the added file.
Tue Oct 1 14:15:33 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo: Revert all recent changes (the last unscathed one
is the CVSUMASK one from Sunday). For the most part said changes
are for new features which are not appropriate at this stage of
the release process. None of the changes being reverted need to
go into 1.9, that is for sure.
Mon Sep 30 18:17:34 1996 Greg A. Woods <woods@most.weird.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Credits): add comment asking if we should update.
Add more detail about printing Letter on A4.
Add some comments about internal comments.
(From files): describe "cvs import -b 1" for importing existing
projects onto the main branch.
(First import): add a couple of helpful hints about naming vendor
and release tags, etc., and regularize the examples with this.
(Tracking sources): noted some reasons why you might use vendor
branches with "cvs import".
(Update imports): mention using "update" in place of "checkout" if
you have an existing working directory.
(Binary files in imports): add sub-menu separator comment.
(Tracking sources): new menu entry "Reverting to vendor release".
(Reverting to vendor release): new node to describe reverting
local changes and optionally using patch(1) to move local changes
forward.
(Global options): describe -D and -g, as well as DIFFBIN and
GREPBIN.
(export examples): add one.
(import options): describe the effect of '-b 1'.
Mon Sep 30 08:09:53 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo: Adjust comments concerning A4 vs. US letter,
referring to ../README.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about dates which CVS
uses in output.
Sun Sep 29 11:14:16 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Don't mention Name twice.
* cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Expand CVSUMASK stuff a bit.
(Setting a watch, Environment variables, Global options): Update
index entries for "read-only files, and ...".
* cvsclient.texi (Requests): State that Gzip-stream is preferred
to gzip-file-contents. Cite RFC1952/1951 rather than just "gzip".
Say that RFC1950/1951 compression is also known as "zlib".
Sat Sep 28 09:31:45 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Repository): Move all information about the
internal structure of the repository to User modules node. Rename
it to "Repository storage" ("User modules" wasn't particularly
clear). Mention CVSUMASK. Much clarification and
reorganization.
(Basic concepts): Remove material which duplicates what is now in
Repository. Rewrite paragraph introducing modules.
* cvs.texinfo (Starting a new project): In discussing difficulty
in renaming files, don't refer to "cvs 1.x"--there is no
non-vaporous "cvs 2.x". Reword to reflect that part of the reason
to avoid renames (where possible) is not because of CVS at all, and
to try to give a general impression of how bad CVS issues involved in
renaming are.
Fri Sep 27 04:23:44 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Adding files): Talk about directories, not modules,
since that is what is meant. Suggest using -kb option to add
rather than running cvs admin after the fact and xref to Binary
files not admin examples. Incorporate information which had been
in "add" node (there was a lot of duplication). Don't document
use of "add" on a directory to take the place of "cvs update -d";
the latter is simpler and more logical.
(add, add options, add examples): Removed.
(release output, release options): Update xrefs accordingly.
(Adding files, Removing files): Mention the fact that adds and
removes are branch-specific.
(Merging adds and removals): New node.
* cvs.texinfo (Concurrency): When mentioning RCS locks, use the
term reserved checkouts and xref to the place where we discuss
them in more depth.
Thu Sep 26 08:26:01 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (log): Add comments about timezones.
(log, Common options): Add index entries for timezone and zone, time.
Wed Sep 25 11:05:30 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (log options): Add xref to where we describe the
date formats that -d accepts.
(Common options): Don't refer to date formats accepted by co(1);
CVS's rules have never been the same. Add long whiny comment
about what a mess date formats are.
Tue Sep 24 11:49:02 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (From other version control systems): The RCS file
must not be locked when you copy it to the CVS repository.
* cvs.texinfo (Editing files): Also discuss how to revert in the
non-watch case. Add some index entries.
* cvs.texinfo (update output): Add comment about how we *should*
be handling .# files. Mention fact that it is different under
VMS. Add .# to index.
Fri Sep 20 13:08:33 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Multiple developers): Revise text on reserved
versus unreserved checkouts extensively. Move index entries for
"reserved checkouts" and "RCS-style locking" to here. Add
cross-reference to cvs admin -l. Add new section "Choosing a
model".
(Editing files): Add note about use of the word "checkout".
Tue Sep 17 00:54:57 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Defining the module): Don't suggest "cvs co
modules"; that depends on a "modules" module being defined which
is not the default which is created by "cvs init". Instead
suggest "cvs co CVSROOT/modules" which should always work.
Tue Sep 17 00:43:49 1996 VaX#n8 <vax@linkdead.paranoia.com>
and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Rename by copying): Suggest "cvs tag -d" on the file
"new", not on everything. Also don't suggest deleting branch tags.
Tue Sep 17 00:34:39 1996 David A. Swierczek <swierczekd@med.ge.com>
* Makefile.in (install-info): Note whether files are in srcdir and
deal with it rather than cd'ing into srcdir.
Mon Sep 16 23:33:36 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Add comment about using wrappers to
compress files in the repository.
* cvs.texinfo (modules): Add comments about how we should be
documenting how -i and friends operate in client/server CVS.
* cvs.texinfo (File permissions): Describe the need for write
permissions for locks and val-tags.
* cvs.texinfo (commitinfo): Add comment about using commitinfo to
enforce who has access.
Wed Jul 24 17:01:41 1996 Larry Jones <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
and Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (checkout): Refer to "update output" node.
(import): Add new import output node.
(release): Correct release output menu entry (used to be
release options instead).
(update output): Say this is output from checkout as well as
update.
Mon Sep 16 16:18:38 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Clarify that CVS uses MM/DD/YY dates.
* cvs.texinfo (Common options): Add comment about what HEAD means.
Mon Sep 16 10:52:04 1996 Norbert Kiesel <nk@col.sw-ley.de>
* cvs.texinfo (Global options): Document global '-T' option.
Sat Sep 14 10:46:58 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Keeping a checked out copy): New node.
Fri Sep 13 23:55:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Magic branch numbers): Delete song and dance about
how cvs log can't cope with magic branches because rlog doesn't
know about them; cvs log no longer calls rlog. Delete item about
how you can't specify a symbolic branch to cvs log; that is fixed.
Wed Sep 11 22:48:21 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication server): Add comments
regarding port numbers and troubleshooting.
Tue Sep 10 10:36:00 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

to avoid overfull hbox.
* cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add comment about further issues
with recovering from failure to use -kb.
* cvs.texinfo (Conflicts example): Describe the "feature" by which
CVS won't check in files with conflicts.
(File status): Expand and revise to document all the possible
statuses from cvs status. Also document "Working revision" and
"Repository revision". Refer to other sections for other aspects
of cvs status.
(status options): Refer to other sections as appropriate.
(update output): Refer user to Conflicts example node. Add
comment regarding purging of .# files.
Fri Sep 6 11:47:14 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Kerberos authenticated): Mention need for
--enable-encryption option in order to use encryption.
(Global options): Likewise, in description of -x option.
Thu Sep 5 14:31:42 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Connecting via rsh): Discuss :ext:, :server:, and
CVS_RSH.
(Remote repositories): Mention what default is if no access method
is specified.
(Environment variables): Don't discuss CVS_RSH at length here;
rely on reference to "Connecting via rsh" node.
Mon Aug 26 15:39:18 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): When talking about having the
client know the original contents of files, suggest cvs edit as a
solution.
Thu Aug 22 10:44:40 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Keyword list): Document Name keyword.
* cvs.texinfo (Tags): Revise comment regarding legal tag names.
Mon Aug 12 14:58:54 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Password authentication security): Add comment
about how some of this is not pserver-specific.
Tue Aug 6 16:48:53 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* cvs.texinfo (log, log options): Update for changes to cvs log
now that it no longer invokes rlog.

Kerberos-encrypt).
Wed Jul 24 18:53:13 1996 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Kerberos authenticated): Change the note that the
Kerberos connection is not encrypted.
(Global options): Add documentation for -x.
* cvsclient.texi (Protocol Notes): Remove enhancement note about
Kerberos encryption.
(Requests): Add documentation for Kerberos-encrypt request.
Thu Jul 18 18:27:40 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Creating a repository): Mention need to be able to
create lock files in the repository.
