Actually, most every documented bug is -"low-priority"--in the sense that if it is documented it means noone -has gotten around to fixing it. - - -* "cvs update -ko -p -r REV file" doesn't seem to pay attention to the - '-ko', at least in client/server mode. A simple work around is to - temporarily change the db file with "cvs admin -ko file", then switch - it back to the original modes after the checkout (probably '-kkv'). - -* "cvs status" has a difference in its output between local and - client/server mode. Namely there's a tab character followed by a - ctime(3)-style date string at the end of the "Working revision:" - field. - -* commands which don't work in a local working directory should probably - ignore any CVS/Root values and revert to using CVSROOT alone. The - current use of CVS/Root can be very confusing if you forget you're in - a working directory for a remote module -- something that's very easy - to do since CVS hides the client operation very well, esp. for - commands which fail for this reason. The only clue might be the word - "server" in a message such as this: - cvs server: cannot find module `patch' - ignored - -* cvs init may gave a strange error at times: - ttyp4:<woods@clapton> $ cvs -d /local/src-CVS init - cvs [init aborted]: cannot open CVS/Root: No such file or directory - but it seemed to work just the same.... Note that at the time CVSROOT - was set to point to a CVS server using the ":server:" option. - -* If a ~/CVS/Root file exists on the server and you are using rsh to -connect to the server, CVS may loose its mind (this was reported in -May 1995 and I suspect the symptoms have changed, but I have no -particular reason to think the bug is fixed -kingdon, Sep 96). - -* (Jeff Johnson <jbj@jbj.org>) - I tried a "cvs status -v" and received the following: - - ? CVS - ? programs/CVS - ? tests/CVS - cvs server: Examining . - =================================================================== - File: Install.dec Status: Up-to-date - ... - - I claim that CVS dirs should be ignored. - (This reportedly happens if "cvs add CVS" (or "cvs add *") - is followed by "cvs status", in client/server mode - CVS 1.9). - -* On remote checkout, files don't have the right time/date stamps in - the CVS/Entries files. Doesn't look like the C/S protocol has any - way to send this information along (according to cvsclient.texi). - Perhaps we can spiff it up a bit by using the conflict field for the - stamp on the checkout/update command. Please note that this really - doesn't do very much for us even if we get it done. - -* Does the function that lists the available modules in the repository - belong under the "checkout" function? Perhaps it is more logically - grouped with the "history" function or we should create a new "info" - function? |
