Tag a Repository without having to check out first in CVS

0 votes
271 views

Is this a way to tag and entire repository structure without having to check it out first. We have a huge repository about 2GB of data at a remote site. Running a old version of CVS 1.11.23. Yeah I know its old, but I cant do anything about it.

Something like 

cvs tag  :pserver:user@cvs.repository.com:/usr/local/cvsroot/

Best answer

cvs rtag
("rtag" = "remote-tag")

cvs tag  :pserver:user@cvs.repository.com:/usr/local/cvsroot/

I have not used it for ages, but IIRC,
cvs -d :pserver:user@cvs.repository.com:/usr/local/cvsroot/

rtag should do exactly what you want. (Check the documentation and test it before performing it on a production server!)

adding a directory/module at top of repository using CVS

Sorry it's been so long since I've done this.... in looking at the manual I can't seem to find it. simple question I have a CVS repository in /repository with a few directories already existing, for example "tools", "reports", "proj" etc. I want to add "documentation". Just the directory. the Developer will add the files later.

why don't I see it easily? I'll keep looking but in case it's so simple.

Updating a branch with new changes on the trunk in CVS

Let's say that I have created a sandbox containing code from a branch

 cvs co -r  project

I then spend a few weeks implementing changes in that sandbox (on the branch). In the meantime, other developers have committed changes to the trunk.

I then want to pull the latest changes to the trunk into my sandbox (on the branch). Will this command work in my sandbox to accomplish this?

cvs update -j HEAD
