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
