Thanks to Derek Price for pointing this out. + +1999-02-25 Jim Kingdon <http://www.cyclic.com> + + * cvs.texinfo: Refer to "keywords" not "RCS keywords". We had + only used the latter term in a few places, and it seems like a + somewhat odd term in that this style of keyword is by no means + specific to RCS. + (Merging a branch): Remove spurious ")". Use ref, not xref, after + "see". + (Merging a branch, Substitution modes): Make sure that @ref is + followed by comma, since info wants that. + (Merging and keywords): Use samp not code for "-kk". Something of + a judgement call, but the rest of the manual uses samp and that + seems better to me. + (Merging and keywords): Rewrite, to (a) better motivate the + discussion based on what the user wants to do, (b) fix up lots of + convoluted sentences, (c) move the discussion of the binary files + to the end, that is get across the basic idea first and then + embellish it. Remove a few unnecessary index entries. Expand + example. Just tell people to avoid -kk with binary files (comment + out the discussion of using -A after the commit). + +1999-01-29 Derek Price + <http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/resume.html> + + * cvs.texinfo: Added new node/section on merging and keywords.

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.

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.
