CVS via proxy server.

=====================

  $ cvs -d:pserver;proxy=$proxyhost;proxyport=$proxyport:$cvsuser@$cvsdomain:/$repo

Create CVS Repository.

======================

::

  $ export CVSROOT=/srv/cvsroot

  $ cvs init

  $ groupadd cvs

  $ useradd -m -g cvs -s /bin/sh -c "CVS Repository"  cvs

  $ chown -R cvs $CVSROOT

  $ chgrp -R cvs $CVSROOT

  $ chmod -R g+s $CVSROOT

  $ grep cvs /etc/services && echo OK

CVS workflow.

=============

Check out sources::

  $ cvs co -P $proj

Status of changes::

  $ cvs status

Compare local changes::

  $ cvs diff -u $path

Creating patch::

  $ cvs diff -N -u -r >$patch

History of changes::

  $ cvs log $file

Remove a file::

  $ rm $file            # must first remove it locally

  $ cvs rm $file        # schedules it for removal

Add a file::

  $ cvs add $file

Check in local changes::

  $ cvs ci

Update local sources::

  $ cvs update

Move a file can not be done cleanly at the local level. The best way to do this

with CVS is to go to the cvsroot repository and move the file or directory

within the repository there. The cvsroot repository keeps all files in their RCS

form of filename,v . The next cvs update will manifest the file move.

Tagging sources::

  $ cvs tag $name

  $ cvs rtag $name

Revert file::

  $ rm $file            # remove it from local sources

  $ cvs update $file    # get a new copy from the repository
