-GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-**************************
-
- Version 2, June 1991
-
- Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
- 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
-
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-Preamble
-========
-
- The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
-freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
-License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
-General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
- When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
-if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
-in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-
- To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
-you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-
- For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
-you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
-source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
-rights.
-
- We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software,
-and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to
-copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
-
- Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make
-certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this
-free software. If the software is modified by someone else and
-passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not
-the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not
-reflect on the original authors' reputations.
-
- Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at
-all.
-
- The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
- TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
- 1. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
- a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
- distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The
- "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a
- "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
- derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
- containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or
- with modifications and/or translated into another language.
- (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the
- term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
-
- Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are
- not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The
- act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output
- from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a
- work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
- running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the
- Program does.
-
- 2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
- source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
- conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
- appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
- intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the
- absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
- Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
-
- You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
- copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
- exchange for a fee.
-
- 3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
- of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
- distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section
- 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
- a. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
- stating that you changed the files and the date of any
- change.
-
- b. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish,
- that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the
- Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at
- no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
- License.
-
- c. If the modified program normally reads commands
- interactively when run, you must cause it, when started
- running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way,
- to print or display an announcement including an
- appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no
- warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and
- that users may redistribute the program under these
- conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
- License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive
- but does not normally print such an announcement, your work
- based on the Program is not required to print an
- announcement.)
-
- These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
- identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
- Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
- separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,
- do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
- separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as
- part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the
- distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,
- whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
- whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
- it.
-
- Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
- contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the
- intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of
- derivative or collective works based on the Program.
-
- In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
- Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program)
- on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
- the other work under the scope of this License.
-
- 4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
- under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the
- terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of
- the following:
-
- a. Accompany it with the complete corresponding
- machine-readable source code, which must be distributed
- under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
- customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
- b. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
- years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than
- your cost of physically performing source distribution, a
- complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source
- code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
- above on a medium customarily used for software
- interchange; or,
-
- c. Accompany it with the information you received as to the
- offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This
- alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution
- and only if you received the program in object code or
- executable form with such an offer, in accord with
- Subsection b above.)
-
- The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work
- for making modifications to it. For an executable work,
- complete source code means all the source code for all modules
- it contains, plus any associated interface definition files,
- plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of
- the executable. However, as a special exception, the source
- code distributed need not include anything that is normally
- distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
- components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system
- on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
- accompanies the executable.
-
- If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
- access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
- access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
- distribution of the source code, even though third parties are
- not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-
- 5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
- except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
- otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program
- is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
- License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
- from you under this License will not have their licenses
- terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
-
- 6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
- signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to
- modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These
- actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.
- Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any
- work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this
- License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
- distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
-
- 7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
- Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
- original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program
- subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any
- further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
- granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance
- by third parties to this License.
-
- 8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
- infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent
- issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
- agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this
- License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
- License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
- simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other
- pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
- distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license
- would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
- all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you,
- then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License
- would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
-
- If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
- under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
- intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to
- apply in other circumstances.
-
- It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe
- any patents or other property right claims or to contest
- validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose
- of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution
- system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
- people have made generous contributions to the wide range of
- software distributed through that system in reliance on
- consistent application of that system; it is up to the
- author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
- software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose
- that choice.
-
- This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
- believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
- 9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
- certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
- interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program
- under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution
- limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is
- permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such
- case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in
- the body of this License.
-
- 10. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
- versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such
- new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
- but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
-
- Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
- Program specifies a version number of this License which applies
- to it and "any later version", you have the option of following
- the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later
- version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the
- Program does not specify a version number of this License, you
- may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
- Foundation.
-
- 11. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
- programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to
- the author to ask for permission. For software which is
- copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
- Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
- decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free
- status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting
- the sharing and reuse of software generally.
-
- NO WARRANTY
-
- 12. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
- WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
- LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
- HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT
- WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
- BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
- AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE
- QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
- PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
- SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
- 13. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
- WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
- MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
- LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
- INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
- INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS
- OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
- YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH
- ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
- ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
- END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-=======================================================
-
- If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
-terms.
-
- To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is
-safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
-effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
-have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full
-notice is found.
-
- ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND A BRIEF IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES.
- Copyright (C) 19YY NAME OF AUTHOR
-
- This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
- it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
- the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
- (at your option) any later version.
-
- This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
- but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
- MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
- GNU General Public License for more details.
-
- You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
- along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
- Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
-
- Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
-mail.
-
- If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like
-this when it starts in an interactive mode:
-
- Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19YY NAME OF AUTHOR
- Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
- This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
- under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
-
- The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
-appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
-commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and
-`show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever
-suits your program.
-
- You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
-your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the
-program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
-
- Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
- `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
-
- SIGNATURE OF TY COON, 1 April 1989
- Ty Coon, President of Vice
-
- This General Public License does not permit incorporating your
-program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine
-library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking
-proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want
-to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this
-License.

-Installation
-************
-
- This section describes the installation of pcl-cvs, the GNU Emacs
-CVS front-end. You should install not only the elisp files
-themselves, but also the on-line documentation so that your users
-will know how to use it. You can create typeset documentation from
-the file `pcl-cvs.texinfo' as well as an on-line info file. The
-following steps are also described in the file `INSTALL' in the source
-directory.
-

-
-* Pcl-cvs installation:: How to install pcl-cvs on your system.
-* On-line manual installation:: How to install the on-line manual.
-* Typeset manual installation:: How to create typeset documentation
- about pcl-cvs.
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Pcl-cvs installation, Next: On-line manual installation, Prev: Installation, Up: Installation
-
-Installation of the pcl-cvs program
-===================================
-
- 1. Edit the file `Makefile' to reflect the situation at your site.
- The only things you have to change is the definition of `lispdir'
- and `infodir'. The elisp files will be copied to `lispdir', and
- the info file to `infodir'.
-
- 2. Configure pcl-cvs.el
-
- There are a couple of paths that you have to check to make sure
- that they match you system. They appear early in the file
- pcl-cvs.el.
-
- *NOTE:* If your system is running emacs 18.57 or earlier you
- MUST uncomment the line that says:
-
- (setq delete-exited-processes nil)
-
- Setting `delete-exited-processes' to `nil' works around a bug in
- emacs that causes it to dump core. The bug was fixed in emacs
- 18.58.
-
- 3. Release 1.05 and later of pcl-cvs requires parts of the Elib
- library, version 0.07 or later. Elib is available via anonymous
- ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu in `pub/gnu/elib-0.07.tar.z', and from
- a lot of other sites that mirrors prep. Get Elib, and install
- it, before proceeding.
-
- 4. Type `make install' in the source directory. This will
- byte-compile all `.el' files and copy both the `.el' and the
- `.elc' into the directory you specified in step 1.
-
- If you don't want to install the `.el' files but only the `.elc'
- files (the byte-compiled files), you can type ``make
- install_elc'' instead of ``make install''.
-
- If you only want to create the compiled elisp files, but don't
- want to install them, you can type `make elcfiles' instead.
- This is what happens if you only type `make' without parameters.
-
- 5. Edit the file `default.el' in your emacs lisp directory (usually
- `/usr/gnu/emacs/lisp' or something similar) and enter the
- contents of the file `pcl-cvs-startup.el' into it. It contains
- a couple of `auto-load's that facilitates the use of pcl-cvs.
-
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: On-line manual installation, Next: Typeset manual installation, Prev: Pcl-cvs installation, Up: Installation
-
-Installation of the on-line manual.
-===================================
-
- 1. Create the info file `pcl-cvs' from `pcl-cvs.texinfo' by typing
- `make info'. If you don't have the program `makeinfo' you can
- get it by anonymous ftp from e.g. `ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu' as
- `pub/gnu/texinfo-2.14.tar.Z' (there might be a newer version
- there when you read this), or you could use the preformatted
- info file `pcl-cvs.info' that is included in the distribution
- (type `cp pcl-cvs.info pcl-cvs').
-
- 2. Move the info file `pcl-cvs' to your standard info directory.
- This might be called something like `/usr/gnu/emacs/info'.
-
- 3. Edit the file `dir' in the info directory and enter one line to
- contain a pointer to the info file `pcl-cvs'. The line can, for
- instance, look like this:
-
- * Pcl-cvs: (pcl-cvs). An Emacs front-end to CVS.

-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Typeset manual installation, Prev: On-line manual installation, Up: Installation
-
-How to make typeset documentation from pcl-cvs.texinfo
-======================================================
-
- If you have TeX installed at your site, you can make a typeset
-manual from `pcl-cvs.texinfo'.
-
- 1. Run TeX by typing ``make pcl-cvs.dvi''. You will not get the
- indices unless you have the `texindex' program.
-
- 2. Convert the resulting device independent file `pcl-cvs.dvi' to a
- form which your printer can output and print it. If you have a
- postscript printer there is a program, `dvi2ps', which does.
- There is also a program which comes together with TeX, `dvips',
- which you can use.

-Contributors to pcl-cvs
-=======================
-
- Contributions to the package are welcome. I have limited time to
-work on this project, but I will gladly add any code that you
-contribute to me to this package (*note Bugs::.).
-
- The following persons have made contributions to pcl-cvs.
-
- * Brian Berliner wrote CVS, together with some other contributors.
- Without his work on CVS this package would be useless...
-
- * Per Cederqvist wrote most of the otherwise unattributed
- functions in pcl-cvs as well as all documentation.
-
- * Inge Wallin (`inge@lysator.liu.se') wrote the skeleton to
- `pcl-cvs.texinfo', and gave useful comments on it. He also wrote
- the files `elib-node.el' and `compile-all.el'. The file
- `cookie.el' was inspired by Inge.
-
- * Linus Tolke (`linus@lysator.liu.se') contributed useful comments
- on both the functionality and the documentation.
-
- * Jamie Zawinski (`jwz@lucid.com') contributed `pcl-cvs-lucid.el'.
-
- * Leif Lonnblad contributed RCVS support.
-
- Apart from these, a lot of people have send me suggestions, ideas,
-requests, bug reports and encouragement. Thanks a lot! Without your
-there would be no new releases of pcl-cvs.

-========================
-
- The latest release of pcl-cvs can be fetched via anonymous ftp from
-`ftp.lysator.liu.se', (IP no. 130.236.254.1) in the directory
-`pub/emacs'. If you don't live in Scandinavia you should probably
-check with archie to see if there is a site closer to you that
-archives pcl-cvs.
-
- New releases will be announced to appropriate newsgroups. If you
-send your email address to me I will add you to my list of people to

-Getting started
-***************
-
- This document assumes that you know what CVS is, and that you at
-least knows the fundamental concepts of CVS. If that is not the case
-you should read the man page for CVS.
-
- Pcl-cvs is only useful once you have checked out a module. So
-before you invoke it you must have a copy of a module somewhere in
-the file system.

- You invoke pcl-cvs by typing `M-x cvs-update RET'. If your emacs
-responds with `[No match]' your system administrator has not
-installed pcl-cvs properly. Try `M-x load-library RET pcl-cvs RET'.
-If that also fails - talk to your root. If it succeeds you might put
-this line in your `.emacs' file so that you don't have to type the
-`load-library' command every time you wish to use pcl-cvs:
-
- (autoload 'cvs-update "pcl-cvs" nil t)
-
- The function `cvs-update' will ask for a directory. The command
-`cvs update' will be run in that directory. (It should contain files
-that have been checked out from a CVS archive.) The output from
-`cvs' will be parsed and presented in a table in a buffer called
-`*cvs*'. It might look something like this:
-
- PCL-CVS release 1.05.
-
- In directory /users/ceder/FOO/test:
- Updated bar
- Updated file.txt
- Modified ci namechange
- Updated newer
-
- In directory /users/ceder/FOO/test/sub:
- Modified ci ChangeLog
- ---------- End -----
-
- In this example the three files (`bar', `file.txt' and `newer')
-that are marked with `Updated' have been copied from the CVS
-repository to `/users/ceder/FOO/test/' since someone else have
-checked in newer versions of them. Two files (`namechange' and
-`sub/ChangeLog') have been modified locally, and needs to be checked
-in.
-
- You can move the cursor up and down in the buffer with `C-n' and
-`C-p' or `n' and `p'. If you press `c' on one of the `Modified'
-files that file will be checked in to the CVS repository. *Note
-Committing changes::. You can press `x' to get rid of the
-"uninteresting" files that have only been `Updated' (and don't
-require any further action from you).
-
- You can also easily get a `diff' between your modified file and the
-base version that you started from, and you can get the output from
-`cvs log' and `cvs status' on the listed files simply by pressing a
-key (*note Getting info about files::.).

- information.
-
- * A "need to be checked in"-marker (`ci').

-
-File status
-===========
-
- The `file status' field can have the following values:
-
-`Updated'
- The file was brought up to date with respect to the repository.
- This is done for any file that exists in the repository but not
- in your source, and for files that you haven't changed but are
- not the most recent versions available in the repository.
-
-`Modified'
- The file is modified in your working directory, and there was
- no modification to the same file in the repository.
-
-`Merged'
- The file is modified in your working directory, and there were
- modifications in the repository as well as in your copy, but
- they were merged successfully, without conflict, in your working
- directory.
-
-`Conflict'
- A conflict was detected while trying to merge your changes to
- FILE with changes from the source repository. FILE (the copy in
- your working directory) is now the output of the `rcsmerge'
- command on the two versions; an unmodified copy of your file is
- also in your working directory, with the name `.#FILE.VERSION',
- where VERSION is the RCS revision that your modified file started
- from. *Note Viewing differences::, for more details.
-
-`Added'
- The file has been added by you, but it still needs to be checked
- in to the repository.
-
-`Removed'
- The file has been removed by you, but it needs to be checked in
- to the repository. You can resurrect it by typing `a' (*note
- Adding and removing files::.).
-
-`Unknown'
- A file that was detected in your directory, but that neither
- appears in the repository, nor is present on the list of files
- that CVS should ignore.
-
- There are also a few special cases, that rarely occur, which have
-longer strings in the fields:
-
-`Removed from repository'
- The file has been removed from your directory since someone has
- removed it from the repository. (It is still present in the
- Attic directory, so no permanent loss has occurred). This,
- unlike the other entries in this table, is not an error
- condition.
-
-`Removed from repository, changed by you'
- You have modified a file that someone have removed from the
- repository. You can correct this situation by removing the file
- manually (see *note Adding and removing files::.).
-
-`Removed by you, changed in repository'
- You have removed a file, and before you committed the removal
- someone committed a change to that file. You could use `a' to
- resurrect the file (see *note Adding and removing files::.).
-
-`Move away FILE - it is in the way'
- For some reason CVS does not like the file FILE. Rename or
- remove it.
-
-`This repository is missing! Remove this dir manually.'
- It is impossible to remove a directory in the CVS repository in
- a clean way. Someone have tried to remove one, and CVS gets
- confused. Remove your copy of the directory.

-Selected files
-==============
-
- Many of the commands works on the current set of "selected" files.
-
- * If there are any files that are marked they constitute the set of
- selected files.
-
- * Otherwise, if the cursor points to a file, that file is the
- selected file.
-
- * Otherwise, if the cursor points to a directory, all the files in
- that directory that appears in the buffer are the selected files.
-
- This scheme might seem a little complicated, but once one get used
-to it, it is quite powerful.

-
-Updating the directory
-======================
-
-`M-x cvs-update'
- Run a `cvs update' command. You will be asked for the directory
- in which the `cvs update' will be run. The output will be
- parsed by pcl-cvs, and the result printed in the `*cvs*' buffer
- (see *note Buffer contents::. for a description of the contents).
-
- By default, `cvs-update' will descend recursively into
- subdirectories. You can avoid that behavior by giving a prefix
- argument to it (e.g., by typing `C-u M-x cvs-update RET').
-
- All other commands in pcl-cvs requires that you have a `*cvs*'
- buffer. This is the command that you use to get one.
-
- CVS uses lock files in the repository to ensure the integrity of
- the data files in the repository. They might be left behind
- i.e. if a workstation crashes in the middle of a CVS operation.
- CVS outputs a message when it is waiting for a lock file to go
- away. Pcl-cvs will show the same message in the *cvs* buffer,
- together with instructions for deleting the lock files. You
- should normally not have to delete them manually -- just wait a
- little while and the problem should fix itself. But if the lock
- files doesn't disappear you can delete them with `M-x
- cvs-delete-lock RET'.
-
-`g'
- This will run `cvs update' again. It will always use the same
- buffer that was used with the previous `cvs update'. Give a
- prefix argument to avoid descending into subdirectories. This
- runs the command `cvs-mode-update-no-prompt'.
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Movement commands, Next: Marking files, Prev: Updating the directory, Up: Commands
-
-Movement Commands
-=================
-
- You can use most normal Emacs commands to move forward and
-backward in the buffer. Some keys are rebound to functions that take
-advantage of the fact that the buffer is a pcl-cvs buffer:
-
-`SPC'
-`C-n'
-`n'
- These keys move the cursor one file forward, towards the end of
- the buffer (`cookie-next-cookie').
-
-`C-p'
-`p'
- These keys move one file backward, towards the beginning of the
- buffer (`cookie-previous-cookie').
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Marking files, Next: Committing changes, Prev: Movement commands, Up: Commands
-
-Marking files
-=============
-
- Pcl-cvs works on a set of "selected files" (*note Selected
-files::.). You can mark and unmark files with these commands:
-
-`m'
- This marks the file that the cursor is positioned on. If the
- cursor is positioned on a directory all files in that directory
- will be marked. (`cvs-mode-mark').
-
-`u'
- Unmark the file that the cursor is positioned on. If the cursor
- is on a directory, all files in that directory will be unmarked.
- (`cvs-mode-unmark').
-
-`M'
- Mark *all* files in the buffer (`cvs-mode-mark-all-files').
-
-`ESC DEL'
- Unmark *all* files (`cvs-mode-unmark-all-files').
-
-`DEL'
- Unmark the file on the previous line, and move point to that line
- (`cvs-mode-unmark-up').
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Committing changes, Next: Editing files, Prev: Marking files, Up: Commands
-
-Committing changes
-==================
-
-`c'
- All files that have a "need to be checked in"-marker (*note
- Buffer contents::.) can be checked in with the `c' command. It
- checks in all selected files (*note Selected files::.) (except
- those who lack the "ci"-marker - they are ignored). Pressing
- `c' causes `cvs-mode-commit' to be run.
-
- When you press `c' you will get a buffer called
- `*cvs-commit-message*'. Enter the log message for the file(s) in
- it. When you are ready you should press `C-c C-c' to actually
- commit the files (using `cvs-edit-done').
-
- Normally the `*cvs-commit-message*' buffer will retain the log
- message from the previous commit, but if the variable
- `cvs-erase-input-buffer' is set to a non-`nil' value the buffer
- will be erased. Point and mark will always be located around the
- entire buffer so that you can easily erase it with `C-w'
- (`kill-region').
-
- If you are editing the files in your emacs an automatic
- `revert-buffer' will be performed. (If the file contains `$Id$'
- keywords `cvs commit' will write a new file with the new values
- substituted. The auto-revert makes sure that you get them into
- your buffer). The revert will not occur if you have modified
- your buffer, or if `cvs-auto-revert-after-commit' is set to
- `nil'.
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Editing files, Next: Getting info about files, Prev: Committing changes, Up: Commands
-
-Editing files
-=============
-
- There are currently three commands that can be used to find a file
-(that is, load it into a buffer and start editing it there). These
-commands work on the line that the cursor is situated at. They
-ignore any marked files.
-
-`f'
- Find the file that the cursor points to. Run `dired' (*note
- Dired: (Emacs)Dired.) if the cursor points to a directory
- (`cvs-mode-find-file').
-
-`o'
- Like `f', but use another window
- (`cvs-mode-find-file-other-window').
-
-`A'
- Invoke `add-change-log-entry-other-window' to edit a `ChangeLog'
- file. The `ChangeLog' will be found in the directory of the
- file the cursor points to.
- (`cvs-mode-add-change-log-entry-other-window').
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Getting info about files, Next: Adding and removing files, Prev: Editing files, Up: Commands
-
-Getting info about files
-========================
-
- Both of the following commands can be customized. *Note
-Customization::.
-
-`l'
- Run `cvs log' on all selected files, and show the result in a
- temporary buffer (`cvs-mode-log').
-
-`s'
- Run `cvs status' on all selected files, and show the result in a
- temporary buffer (`cvs-mode-status').
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Adding and removing files, Next: Undoing changes, Prev: Getting info about files, Up: Commands
-
-Adding and removing files
-=========================
-
- The following commands are available to make it easy to add and
-remove files from the CVS repository.
-
-`a'
- Add all selected files. This command can be used on `Unknown'
- files (see *note File status::.). The status of the file will
- change to `Added', and you will have to use `c'
- (`cvs-mode-commit', see *note Committing changes::.) to really
- add the file to the repository.
-
- This command can also be used on `Removed' files (before you
- commit them) to resurrect them.
-
- Selected files that are neither `Unknown' nor `Removed' will be
- ignored by this command.
-
- The command that is run is `cvs-mode-add'.
-
-`r'
- This command removes the selected files (after prompting for
- confirmation). The files are `rm'ed from your directory and
- (unless the status was `Unknown'; *note File status::.) they will
- also be `cvs remove'd. If the files were `Unknown' they will
- disappear from the buffer. Otherwise their status will change to
- `Removed', and you must use `c' (`cvs-mode-commit', *note
- Committing changes::.) to commit the removal.
-
- The command that is run is `cvs-mode-remove-file'.
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Undoing changes, Next: Removing handled entries, Prev: Adding and removing files, Up: Commands
-
-Undoing changes
-===============
-
-`U'
- If you have modified a file, and for some reason decide that you
- don't want to keep the changes, you can undo them with this
- command. It works by removing your working copy of the file and
- then getting the latest version from the repository
- (`cvs-mode-undo-local-changes'.
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Removing handled entries, Next: Ignoring files, Prev: Undoing changes, Up: Commands
-
-Removing handled entries
-========================
-
-`x'
- This command allows you to remove all entries that you have
- processed. More specifically, the lines for `Updated' files
- (*note File status::. and files that have been checked in (*note
- Committing changes::.) are removed from the buffer. If a
- directory becomes empty the heading for that directory is also
- removed. This makes it easier to get an overview of what needs
- to be done.
-
- The command is called `cvs-mode-remove-handled'. If
- `cvs-auto-remove-handled' is set to non-`nil' this will
- automatically be performed after every commit.
-
-`C-k'
- This command can be used for lines that
- `cvs-mode-remove-handled' would not delete, but that you want to
- delete (`cvs-mode-acknowledge').
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Ignoring files, Next: Viewing differences, Prev: Removing handled entries, Up: Commands
-
-Ignoring files
-==============
-
-`i'
- Arrange so that CVS will ignore the selected files. The file
- names are added to the `.cvsignore' file in the corresponding
- directory. If the `.cvsignore' doesn't exist it will be created.
-
- The `.cvsignore' file should normally be added to the repository,
- but you could ignore it also if you like it better that way.
-
- This runs `cvs-mode-ignore'.
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Viewing differences, Next: Emerge, Prev: Ignoring files, Up: Commands
-
-Viewing differences
-===================
-
-`d'
- Display a `cvs diff' between the selected files and the RCS
- version that they are based on. *Note Customization:: describes
- how you can send flags to `cvs diff'. If CVS-DIFF-IGNORE-MARKS
- is set to a non-`nil' value or if a prefix argument is given
- (but not both) any marked files will not be considered to be
- selected. (`cvs-mode-diff-cvs').
-
-`b'
- If CVS finds a conflict while merging two versions of a file
- (during a `cvs update', *note Updating the directory::.) it will
- save the original file in a file called `.#FILE.VERSION' where
- FILE is the name of the file, and VERSION is the RCS version
- number that your file was based on.
-
- With the `b' command you can run a `diff' on the files
- `.#FILE.VERSION' and `FILE'. You can get a context- or Unidiff
- by setting `cvs-diff-flags' - *note Customization::.. This
- command only works on files that have status `Conflict' or
- `Merged'.
-
- If CVS-DIFF-IGNORE-MARKS is set to a non-`nil' value or if a
- prefix argument is given (but not both) any marked files will
- not be considered to be selected. (`cvs-mode-diff-backup').
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Emerge, Next: Reverting your buffers, Prev: Viewing differences, Up: Commands
-
-Running emerge
-==============
-
-`e'
- Invoke `emerge' on one file. This command works slightly
- different depending on the file status.
-
- `Modified'
- Run `emerge-files' with your working file as file A, and
- the latest revision in the repository as file B.
-
- `Merged'
- `Conflict'
- Run `emerge-files-with-ancestor' with your working file (as
- it was prior to your invocation of `cvs-update') as file A,
- the latest revision in the repository as file B, and the
- revision that you based your local modifications on as
- ancestor.
-
- *Note:* CVS has already performed a merge. The resulting file is
- not used in any way if you use this command. If you use the `q'
- command inside `emerge' (to successfully terminate the merge) the
- file that CVS created will be overwritten.

-
-Reverting your buffers
-======================
-
-`R'
- If you are editing (or just viewing) a file in a buffer, and
- that file is changed by CVS during a `cvs-update', all you have
- to do is type `R' in the *cvs* buffer to read in the new
- versions of the files.
-
- All files that are `Updated', `Merged' or in `Conflict' are
- reverted from the disk. Any other files are ignored. Only files
- that you were already editing are read.
-
- An error is signalled if you have modified the buffer since it
- was last changed. (`cvs-mode-revert-updated-buffers').
-
-
-File: pcl-cvs, Node: Miscellaneous commands, Prev: Reverting your buffers, Up: Commands
-
-Miscellaneous commands
-======================
-
-`M-x cvs-byte-compile-files'
- Byte compile all selected files that end in .el.
-
-`M-x cvs-delete-lock'
- This command can be used in any buffer, and deletes the lock
- files that the *cvs* buffer informs you about. You should
- normally never have to use this command since CVS tries very
- carefully to always remove the lock files itself.
-
- You can only use this command when a message in the *cvs* buffer
- tells you so. You should wait a while before using this command
- in case someone else is running a cvs command.
-
-`q'
- Bury the *cvs* buffer. (`bury-buffer').

-
- If you have an idea about any customization that would be handy but
-isn't present in this list, please tell me! *Note Bugs:: for info on
-how to reach me.
-
-`cvs-erase-input-buffer'
- If set to anything else than `nil' the edit buffer will be erased
- before you write the log message (*note Committing changes::.).
-
-`cvs-inhibit-copyright-message'
- The copyright message that is displayed on startup can be
- annoying after a while. Set this variable to `t' if you want to
- get rid of it. (But don't set this to `t' in the system defaults
- file - new users should see this message at least once).
-
-`cvs-diff-flags'
- A list of strings to pass as arguments to the `cvs diff' and
- `diff' programs. This is used by `cvs-mode-diff-cvs' and
- `cvs-mode-diff-backup' (key `b', *note Viewing differences::.).
- If you prefer the Unidiff format you could add this line to your
- `.emacs' file:
-
- (setq cvs-diff-flags '("-u"))
-
-`cvs-diff-ignore-marks'
- If this variable is non-`nil' or if a prefix argument is given
- (but not both) to `cvs-mode-diff-cvs' or `cvs-mode-diff-backup'
- marked files are not considered selected.
-
-`cvs-log-flags'
- List of strings to send to `cvs log'. Used by `cvs-mode-log'
- (key `l', *note Getting info about files::.).
-
-`cvs-status-flags'
- List of strings to send to `cvs status'. Used by
- `cvs-mode-status' (key `s', *note Getting info about files::.).
-
-`cvs-auto-remove-handled'
- If this variable is set to any non-`nil' value
- `cvs-mode-remove-handled' will be called every time you check in
- files, after the check-in is ready. *Note Removing handled
- entries::.
-
-`cvs-auto-revert-after-commit'
- If this variable is set to any non-`nil' value any buffers you
- have that visit a file that is committed will be automatically
- reverted. This variable is default `t'. *Note Committing
- changes::.
-
-`cvs-update-prog-output-skip-regexp'
- The `-u' flag in the `modules' file can be used to run a command
- whenever a `cvs update' is performed (see cvs(5)). This regexp
- is used to search for the last line in that output. It is
- normally set to `"$"'. That setting is only correct if the
- command outputs nothing. Note that pcl-cvs will get very
- confused if the command outputs *anything* to `stderr'.
-
-`cvs-cvsroot'
- This variable can be set to override `CVSROOT'. It should be a
- string. If it is set then everytime a cvs command is run it will
- be called as `cvs -d CVS-CVSROOT...' This can be useful if your
- site has several repositories.
-
-`TMPDIR'
- Pcl-cvs uses this *environment variable* to decide where to put
- the temporary files it needs. It defaults to `/tmp' if it is
- not set.
-
-`cvs-commit-buffer-require-final-newline'
- When you enter a log message in the `*cvs-commit-message*' buffer
- pcl-cvs will normally automatically insert a trailing newline,
- unless there already is one. This behavior can be controlled via
- `cvs-commit-buffer-require-final-newline'. If it is `t' (the
- default behavior), a newline will always be appended. If it is
- `nil', newlines will never be appended. Any other value causes
- pcl-cvs to ask the user whenever there is no trailing newline in
- the commit message buffer.
-
-`cvs-sort-ignore-file'
- If this variable is set to any non-`nil' value the `.cvsignore'
- will always be sorted whenever you use `cvs-mode-ignore' to add
- a file to it. This option is on by default.

-
-Future enhancements
-*******************
-
- Pcl-cvs is still under development and needs a number of
-enhancements to be called complete. Below is my current wish-list
-for future releases of pcl-cvs. Please, let me know which of these
-features you want most. They are listed below in approximately the
-order that I currently think I will implement them in.
-
- * Rewritten parser code. There are many situations where pcl-cvs
- will fail to recognize the output from CVS. The situation could
- be greatly increased.
-
- * `cvs-status'. This will run `cvs status' in a directory and
- produce a buffer that looks pretty much like the current *cvs*
- buffer. That buffer will include information for all
- version-controlled files. (There will be a simple keystroke to
- remove all "uninteresting" files, that is, files that are
- "Up-to-date"). In this new buffer you will be able to update a
- file, commit a file, et c. The big win with this is that you
- will be able to watch the differences between your current
- working file and the head revision in the repository before you
- update the file, and you can then choose to update it or let it
- wait for a while longer.
-
- * Log mode. When this mode is finished you will be able to move
- around (using `n' and `p') between the revisions of a file, mark
- two of them, and run a diff between them. You will be able to
- hide branches (similar to the way you can hide sub-paragraphs in
- outline-mode) and do merges between revisions. Other ideas
- about this are welcome.
-
- * The current model for marks in the *cvs* buffer seems to be
- confusing. I am considering to use the VM model instead, where
- marks are normally inactive. To activate the mark, you issue a
- command like `cvs-mode-next-command-uses-marks'. I might
- implement a flag so that you can use either version. Feedback
- on this before I start coding it is very welcome.
-
- * It should be possible to run commands such as `cvs log', `cvs
- status' and `cvs commit' directly from a buffer containing a
- file, instead of having to `cvs-update'. If the directory
- contains many files the `cvs-update' can take quite some time,
- especially on a slow machine. I planed to put these kind of
- commands on the prefix `C-c C-v', but that turned out to be used
- by for instance c++-mode. If you have any suggestions for a
- better prefix key, please let me know.
-
- * Increased robustness. For instance, you can not currently press
- `C-g' when you are entering the description of a file that you
- are adding without confusing pcl-cvs.
-
- * Support for multiple active *cvs* buffers.
-
- * Dired support. I have an experimental `dired-cvs.el' that works
- together with CVS 1.2. Unfortunately I wrote it on top of a
- non-standard `dired.el', so it must be rewritten.
-
- * An ability to send user-supplied options to all the cvs commands.
-
- * Pcl-cvs is not at all clever about what it should do when `cvs
- update' runs a program (due to the `-u' option in the `modules'
- file -- see `cvs(5)'). The current release uses a regexp to
- search for the end. At the very least that regexp should be
- configured for different modules. Tell me if you have any idea
- about what is the right thing to do. In a perfect world the
- program should also be allowed to print to `stderr' without
- causing pcl-cvs to crash.

- If you miss something in this wish-list, let me know! I don't
-promise that I will write it, but I will at least try to coordinate
-the efforts of making a good Emacs front end to CVS. See *Note
-Bugs:: for information about how to reach me.
-
- So far, I have written most of pcl-cvs in my all-to-rare spare
-time. If you want pcl-cvs to be developed faster you can write a
-contract with Signum Support to do the extension. You can reach
-Signum Support by email to `info@signum.se' or via mail to Signum
-Support AB, Box 2044, S-580 02 Linkoping, Sweden. Phone: +46 (0) 13 -

-Bugs (known and unknown)
-************************
-
- If you find a bug or misfeature, don't hesitate to tell me! Send
-email to `ceder@lysator.liu.se'.
-
- If you have ideas for improvements, or if you have written some
-extensions to this package, I would like to hear from you. I hope
-that you find this package useful!
-
- Below is a partial list of currently known problems with pcl-cvs
-version 1.05.
-
-Commit causes Emacs to hang
- Emacs waits for the `cvs commit' command to finish before you can
- do anything. If you start a background job from the loginfo
- file you must take care that it closes `stdout' and `stderr' if
- you do not want to wait for it. (You do that with
- `background-command &>- 2&>- &' if you are starting
- `background-command' from a `/bin/sh' shell script).
-
- Your emacs will also hang if there was a lock file in the
- repository. In this case you can type `C-g' to get control over
- your emacs again.
-
-Name clash in Emacs 19
- This is really a bug in Elib or the Emacs 19 distribution. Both
- Elib and Emacs 19.6 through at least 19.10 contains a file named
- `cookie.el'. One of the files will have to be renamed, and we
- are currently negotiating about which of the files to rename.
-
-Commands while cvs-update is running
- It is possible to type commands in the *cvs* buffer while the
- update is running, but error messages is all that you will get.
- The error messages should be better.
-
-Unexpected output from CVS
- Unexpected output from CVS confuses pcl-cvs. It will currently
- create a bug report that you can mail to me. It should do
- something more civilized.
