Making a branch Change to the directory containing the code you want to brach from (ex. use cvs co -r [tagname] to branch old tagged code). Now you can add the branch by issuing the following command: cvs tag -b [new branchname] Finish changes to the working directory, then

import

Create a new module from existing code Change to the directory containing the code and run the following command: cvs -d [path to CVSHOME] import -m [comment] [modulename] [vendortag] [releasetag] this will import the entire directory and all subdirectories (

Create a new CVSHOME Create the directory you want to contain the repository, typically called CVSHOME. Then run the following command to initialize it: cvs -d [CVSHOME folder] init And now you are ready to put some code in there. Example: mkdir /mnt/data/CVSHOME cvs -d /mnt/data/CVSHOME init

merge

This page is shamelessly stolen from Merging branches Using Update cvs update -j TagOrBranch1 -j TagOrBranch2 my_module The above command will locate the differences between TagOrBranch1 and TagOrBranch2. Of the lines that are different between them, the lines in TagOrBranch2 will be patched, or merged, into the sources in your working directory.

remove

Delete file(s) First delete the actual files from the working directory. Then issue the command: cvs rem [file(s)] to schedule the files for removal from the module. Finally do a commit to actually delete the files from the module. Example: rm file.cc file.h cvs rem file.{cc,h} cvs commit -m"Removed file"

tag

Tag current code First make sure that that code has been committed. The code tagged by this command is the last committed one, not including uncommitted changes in the current tree. Change to the project root folder and issue the following command: cvs tag [tagname]
