Hardly -- you can still use most CVS commands on the file, you just have to give the file name explicitly since there's no local file: bash-2.02$ ls foo ls: foo: No such file or directory bash-2.02$
I started using the current development release of CVS to get the revision range log feature mentioned above, and I've been very happy with how it works on the trunk of a simple example, but I've ru
And in a version control system, that baggage includes the file's entire revision history, by definition. A file under version control is not a normal Unix file. A specific revision of the file coul
Hello all, The latest version of CVS, version 1.12.n (n>5), changed the format of its output on commit messages. This unfortunately breaks pcl-cvs mode in emacs, which uses the commit messages to det

I asked my sys admin to retrieve a backup copy of my doc directory and I do a cvs status under both my current working directory and the backup directory for the "Changelog" file. % cvs status -v ~/V
