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(editinfo): In paragraph saying editinfo is obsolete, fix various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>

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).

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.

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>

--enable-encryption option in order to use encryption.
(Global options): Likewise, in description of -x option.

* 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>

create lock files in the repository.
* cvsclient.texi (Responses): In F response, make at least a
minimal attempt to define "flush".
* cvs.texinfo (Wrappers): Document -k.
(From files, Binary files in imports): Say that imports can deal
with binary files and refer to Wrappers node for details.
(Binary files): Likewise for imports and adds.
Sat Jul 13 18:29:10 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
* cvs.texinfo (Binary files): Add paragraph concerning the fact
that the keyword expansion mode is not versioned, and why this is
a problem.

Wed Jul 10 18:46:39 1996 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

Fri Sep 13 10:52:09 1996 Greg A. Woods <woods@clapton.seachange.com>

on A4 than the other way around, believe you me!
(rdiff options): describe -k and new -K.
(RCS keywords): add description of $Name.
(Using keywords): add description of #ident and example of using
$Name.
- also fixed cross references to Substitution modes in various
places.
