From 2dbe609ba8a4cefd78f3867f74b53b3a507b9883 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: peter Date: Sun, 10 Dec 1995 22:31:43 +0000 Subject: Import CVS-1.6.3-951211.. Basically, this is the cvs-1.6.2 release plus a couple of minor changes.. Some highlights of the new stuff that was not in the old version: - remote access support.. full checkout/commit/log/etc.. - much improved dead file support.. - speed improvements - better $CVSROOT handling - $Name$ support - support for a "cvsadmin" group to cut down rampant use of "cvs admin -o" - safer setuid/setgid support - many bugs fixed.. :-) - probably some new ones.. :-( - more that I cannot remember offhand.. --- gnu/usr.bin/cvs/NEWS | 863 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 863 insertions(+) create mode 100644 gnu/usr.bin/cvs/NEWS (limited to 'gnu/usr.bin/cvs/NEWS') diff --git a/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/NEWS b/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/NEWS new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8965819 --- /dev/null +++ b/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/NEWS @@ -0,0 +1,863 @@ +Changes since 1.6: + +* RCS keyword "Name" supported for "cvs update -r " and "cvs +checkout -r ". + +* If there is a group whose name matches a compiled in value which +defaults to "cvsadmin", only members of that group can use "cvs +admin". + +* CVS now sets the modes of files in the repository based on the +CVSUMASK environment variable or a compiled in value defaulting to +002. This way other developers will be able to access the files in +the repository regardless of the umask of the developer creating them. + +* The command name .cvsrc now matches the official name of the +command, not the one (possibly an alias) by which it was invoked. If +you had previously relied on "cvs di" and "cvs diff" using different +options, instead use a shell function or alias (for example "alias +cvsdi='cvs diff -u'"). + +Changes from 1.5 to 1.6: + +* Del updated the man page to include all of the new features +of CVS 1.6. + +* "cvs tag" now supports a "-r | -D" option for tagging an already +tagged revision / specific revision of a file. + +* There is a "taginfo" file in CVSROOT that supports filtering and +recording of tag operations. + +* Long options support added, including --help and --version options. + +* "cvs release" no longer cares whether or not the directory being +released has an entry in the `modules' file. + +* The modules file now takes a -e option which is used instead of -o +for "cvs export". If your modules file has a -o option which you want +to be used for "cvs export", change it to specify -e as well as -o. + +* "cvs export" now takes a -k option to set RCS keyword expansion. +This way you can export binary files. If you want the old behavior, +you need to specify -kv. + +* "cvs update", "cvs rdiff", "cvs checkout", "cvs import", "cvs +release", "cvs rtag", and "cvs tag" used to take -q and -Q options +after the command name (e.g. "cvs update -q"). This was confusing +because other commands, such as "cvs ci", did not. So the options +after the command name have been removed and you must now specify, for +example, "cvs -q update", which has been supported since CVS 1.3. + +* New "wrappers" feature. This allows you to set a hook which +transforms files on their way in and out of cvs (apparently on the +NeXT there is some particular usefulness in tarring things up in the +repository). It also allows you to declare files as merge-by-copy +which means that instead of trying to merge the file, CVS will merely +copy the new version. There is a CVSROOT/cvswrappers file and an +optionsl ~/.cvswrappers file to support this feature. + +* You can set CVSROOT to user@host:dir, not just host:dir, if your +username on the server host is different than on the client host. + +* VISUAL is accepted as well as EDITOR. + +* $CVSROOT is expanded in *info files. + +Changes from 1.4A2 to 1.5: + +* Remote implementation. This is very helpful when collaborating on a +project with someone across a wide-area network. This release can +also be used locally, like other CVS versions, if you have no need for +remote access. + +Here are some of the features of the remote implementation: +- It uses reliable transport protocols (TCP/IP) for remote repository + access, not NFS. NFS is unusable over long distances (and sometimes + over short distances) +- It transfers only those files that have changed in the repository or + the working directory. To save transmission time, it will transfer + patches when appropriate, and can compress data for transmission. +- The server never holds CVS locks while waiting for a reply from the client; + this makes the system robust when used over flaky networks. + +The remote features are documented in doc/cvsclient.texi in the CVS +distribution, but the main doc file, cvs.texinfo, has not yet been +updated to include the remote features. + +* Death support. See src/README-rm-add for more information on this. + +* Many speedups, especially from jtc@cygnus.com. + +* CVS 1.2 compatibility code has been removed as a speedup. If you +have working directories checked out by CVS 1.2, CVS 1.3 or 1.4A2 will +try to convert them, but CVS 1.5 and later will not (if the working +directory is up to date and contains no extraneous files, you can just +remove it, and then check out a new working directory). Likewise if +your repository contains a CVSROOT.adm directory instead of a CVSROOT +directory, you need to rename it. + +Fri Oct 21 20:58:54 1994 Brian Berliner + + * Changes between CVS 1.3 and CVS 1.4 Alpha-2 + + * A new program, "cvsbug", is provided to let you send bug reports + directly to the CVS maintainers. Please use it instead of sending + mail to the info-cvs mailing list. If your build fails, you may + have to invoke "cvsbug" directly from the "src" directory as + "src/cvsbug.sh". + + * A new User's Guide and Tutorial, written by Per Cederqvist + of Signum Support. See the "doc" directory. A + PostScript version is included as "doc/cvs.ps". + + * The Frequesntly Asked Questions file, FAQ, has been added to the + release. Unfortunately, its contents are likely out-of-date. + + * The "cvsinit" shell script is now installed in the $prefix/bin + directory like the other programs. You can now create new + CVS repositories with great ease. + + * Index: lines are now printed on output from 'diff' and 'rdiff', + in order to facilitate application of patches to multiple subdirs. + + * Support for a ~/.cvsrc file, which allows you to specify options + that are always supposed to be given to a specific command. This + feature shows the non-orthogonality of the option set, since while + there may be an option to turn something on, the option to turn + that same thing off may not exist. + + * You can now list subdirectories that you wish to ignore in a + modules listing, such as: + + gcc -a gnu/gcc, !gnu/gcc/testsuites + + which will check out everything underneath gnu/gcc, except + everything underneath gnu/gcc/testsuites. + + * It is now much harder to accidentally overwrite an existing tag + name, since attempting to move a tag name will result in a error, + unless the -F (force) flag is given to the tag subcommands. + + * Better error checking on matching of the repository used to + check code out from against the repository the current cvs + commnands would use. (Thanks to Mark Baushke ) + + * Better support for sites with multiple CVSROOT repositories has + been contributed. The file "CVS/Root" in your working directory + is created to hold the full path to the CVS repository and a + simple check is made against your current CVSROOT setting. + + * You can now specify an RCS keyword substitution value when you + import files into the repository. + + * Uses a much newer version of Autoconf, and conforms to the GNU + coding standards much more closely. No, it still doesn't have + long option names. + + * Code cleanup. Many passes through gcc -Wall helped to identify + a number of questionable constructs. Most arbitrary length limits + were removed. + + * Profiling to determine bottlenecks helped to identify the best + places to spend time speeding up the code, which was then done. A + number of performance enhancements in filename matching have sped + up checkouts. + + * Many more contributions have been added to the "contrib" + directory. See the README file in that directory for more + information. + + * "cvs commit" will try harder to not change the file's + modification time after the commit. If the file does not change + as a result of the commit operation, CVS will preserve the + original modification time, thus speeding up future make-type + builds. + + * "cvs commit" now includes any removed files in the (optional) + pre-commit checking program that may be invoked. Previously, only + added and modified files were included. + + * It is now possible to commit a file directly onto the trunk at a + specific revision level by doing "cvs commit -r3.0 file.c", where + "3.0" specifies the revision you wish to create. The file must be + up-to-date with the current head of the trunk for this to succeed. + + * "cvs commit" will now function with a pre-commit program that + has arguments specified in the "commitinfo" file. + + * The "mkmodules" program will now look within the + $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/checkoutlist" file for any additional files that + should be automatically checked out within CVSROOT; mkmodules also + tries harder to preserve any execute bits the files may have + originally had. + + * "cvs diff" is much more accurate about its exit status now. It + now returns the maximum exit status of any invoked diff. + + * The "-I !" option is now supported for the import and update + commands correctly. It will properly clear the ignore list now. + + * Some problems with "cvs import" handling of .cvsignore have been + fixed; as well, some rampant recursion problems with import have + also been fixed. + + * "cvs rdiff" (aka "cvs patch") now tries to set the modify time + of any temporary files it uses to match those specified for the + particular revision. This allows a more accurate patch image to + be created. + + * "cvs status" has improved revision descriptions. "Working + revision" is used for the revision of the working file that you + edit directly; "Repository revision" is the revision of the file + with the $CVSROOT source repository. Also, the output is clearer + with regard to sticky and branch revisions. + + * CVS no longer dumps core when given a mixture of directories and + files in sub-directories (as in "cvs ci file1 dir1/file2"). + Instead, arguments are now clumped into their respective directory + and operated on in chunks, together. + + * If the CVSEDITOR environment variable is set, that editor is + used for log messages instead of the EDITOR environment variable. + This makes it easy to substitute intelligent programs to make more + elaborate log messages. Contributed by Mark D Baushke + (mdb@cisco.com). + + * Command argument changes: + cvs: The "-f" option has been added to ignore + the ~/.cvsrc file. + commit: Renamed the "-f logfile" option to the + "-F logfile" option. Added the "-f" + option to force a commit of the specified + files (this disables recursion). + history: Added "-t timezone" option to force any + date-specific output into the specified + timezone. + import: Added "-d" option to use the file's + modification time as the time of the + import. Added "-k sub" option to set the + default RCS keyword substitution mode for + newly-created files. + remove: Added "-f" option to force the file's + automatic removal if it still exists in + the working directory (use with caution). + rtag: Added "-F" option to move the tag if it + already exists -- new default is to NOT + move tags automatically. + tag: Added "-F" option to move the tag if it + already exists -- new default is to NOT + move tags automatically. + +Tue Apr 7 15:55:25 1992 Brian Berliner (berliner at sun.com) + + * Changes between CVS 1.3 Beta-3 and official CVS 1.3! + + * A new shell script is provided, "./cvsinit", which can be run at + install time to help setup your $CVSROOT area. This can greatly + ease your entry into CVS usage. + + * The INSTALL file has been updated to include the machines on + which CVS has compiled successfully. I think CVS 1.3 is finally + portable. Thanks to all the Beta testers! + + * Support for the "editinfo" file was contributed. This file + (located in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT) can be used to specify a special + "editor" to run on a per-directory basis within the repository, + instead of the usual user's editor. As such, it can verify that + the log message entered by the user is of the appropriate form + (contains a bugid and test validation, for example). + + * The manual pages cvs(1) and cvs(5) have been updated. + + * The "mkmodules" command now informs you when your modules file + has duplicate entries. + + * The "add" command now preserves any per-directory sticky tag when + you add a new directory to your checked-out sources. + + * The "admin" command is now a fully recursive interface to the + "rcs" program which operates on your checked-out sources. It no + longer requires you to specify the full path to the RCS file. + + * The per-file sticky tags can now be effectively removed with + "cvs update -A file", even if you had checked out the whole + directory with a per-directory sticky tag. This allows a great + deal of flexibility in managing the revisions that your checked-out + sources are based upon (both per-directory and per-file sticky + tags). + + * The "cvs -n commit" command now works, to show which files are + out-of-date and will cause the real commit to fail, or which files + will fail any pre-commit checks. Also, the "cvs -n import ..." + command will now show you what it would've done without actually + doing it. + + * Doing "cvs commit modules" to checkin the modules file will no + properly run the "mkmodules" program (assuming you have setup your + $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/modules file to do so). + + * The -t option in the modules file (which specifies a program to + run when you do a "cvs rtag" operation on a module) now gets the + symbolic tag as the second argument when invoked. + + * When the source repository is locked by another user, that user's + login name will be displayed as the holder of the lock. + + * Doing "cvs checkout module/file.c" now works even if + module/file.c is in the Attic (has been removed from main-line + development). + + * Doing "cvs commit */Makefile" now works as one would expect. + Rather than trying to commit everything recursively, it will now + commit just the files specified. + + * The "cvs remove" command is now fully recursive. To schedule a + file for removal, all you have to do is "rm file" and "cvs rm". + With no arguments, "cvs rm" will schedule all files that have been + physically removed for removal from the source repository at the + next "cvs commit". + + * The "cvs tag" command now prints "T file" for each file that was + tagged by this invocation and "D file" for each file that had the + tag removed (as with "cvs tag -d"). + + * The -a option has been added to "cvs rtag" to force it to clean + up any old, matching tags for files that have been removed (in the + Attic) that may not have been touched by this tag operation. This + can help keep a consistent view with your tag, even if you re-use + it frequently. + +Sat Feb 29 16:02:05 1992 Brian Berliner (berliner at sun.com) + + * Changes between CVS 1.3 Beta-2 and CVS 1.3 Beta-3 + + * Many portability fixes, thanks to all the Beta testers! With any + luck, this Beta release will compile correctly on most anything. + Hey, what are we without our dreams. + + * CVS finally has support for doing isolated development on a + branch off the current (or previous!) revisions. This is also + extremely nice for generating patches for previously released + software while development is progressing on the next release. + Here's an example of creating a branch to fix a patch with the 2.0 + version of the "foo" module, even though we are already well into + the 3.0 release. Do: + + % cvs rtag -b -rFOO_2_0 FOO_2_0_Patch foo + % cvs checkout -rFOO_2_0_Patch foo + % cd foo + [[ hack away ]] + % cvs commit + + A physical branch will be created in the RCS file only when you + actually commit the change. As such, forking development at some + random point in time is extremely light-weight -- requiring just a + symbolic tag in each file until a commit is done. To fork + development at the currently checked out sources, do: + + % cvs tag -b Personal_Hack + % cvs update -rPersonal_Hack + [[ hack away ]] + % cvs commit + + Now, if you decide you want the changes made in the Personal_Hack + branch to be merged in with other changes made in the main-line + development, you could do: + + % cvs commit # to make Personal_Hack complete + % cvs update -A # to update sources to main-line + % cvs update -jPersonal_Hack # to merge Personal_Hack + + to update your checked-out sources, or: + + % cvs checkout -jPersonal_Hack module + + to checkout a fresh copy. + + To support this notion of forked development, CVS reserves + all even-numbered branches for its own use. In addition, CVS + reserves the ".0" and ".1" branches. So, if you intend to do your + own branches by hand with RCS, you should use odd-numbered branches + starting with ".3", as in "1.1.3", "1.1.5", 1.2.9", .... + + * The "cvs commit" command now supports a fully functional -r + option, allowing you to commit your changes to a specific numeric + revision or symbolic tag with full consistency checks. Numeric + tags are useful for bringing your sources all up to some revision + level: + + % cvs commit -r2.0 + + For symbolic tags, you can only commit to a tag that references a + branch in the RCS file. One created by "cvs rtag -b" or from + "cvs tag -b" is appropriate (see below). + + * Roland Pesch and K. Richard Pixley + were kind enough to contribute two new manual + pages for CVS: cvs(1) and cvs(5). Most of the new CVS 1.3 features + are now documented, with the exception of the new branch support + added to commit/rtag/tag/checkout/update. + + * The -j options of checkout/update have been added. The "cvs join" + command has been removed. + + With one -j option, CVS will merge the changes made between the + resulting revision and the revision that it is based on (e.g., if + the tag refers to a branch, CVS will merge all changes made in + that branch into your working file). + + With two -j options, CVS will merge in the changes between the two + respective revisions. This can be used to "remove" a certain delta + from your working file. E.g., If the file foo.c is based on + revision 1.6 and I want to remove the changes made between 1.3 and + 1.5, I might do: + + % cvs update -j1.5 -j1.3 foo.c # note the order... + + In addition, each -j option can contain on optional date + specification which, when used with branches, can limit the chosen + revision to one within a specific date. An optional date is + specified by adding a colon (:) to the tag, as in: + + -jSymbolic_Tag:Date_Specifier + + An example might be what "cvs import" tells you to do when you have + just imported sources that have conflicts with local changes: + + % cvs checkout -jTAG:yesterday -jTAG module + + which tells CVS to merge in the changes made to the branch + specified by TAG in the last 24 hours. If this is not what is + intended, substitute "yesterday" for whatever format of date that + is appropriate, like: + + % cvs checkout -jTAG:'1 week ago' -jTAG module + + * "cvs diff" now supports the special tags "BASE" and "HEAD". So, + the command: + + % cvs diff -u -rBASE -rHEAD + + will effectively show the changes made by others (in unidiff + format) that will be merged into your working sources with your + next "cvs update" command. "-rBASE" resolves to the revision that + your working file is based on. "-rHEAD" resolves to the current + head of the branch or trunk that you are working on. + + * The -P option of "cvs checkout" now means to Prune empty + directories, as with "update". The default is to not remove empty + directories. However, if you do "checkout" with any -r options, -P + will be implied. I.e., checking out with a tag will cause empty + directories to be pruned automatically. + + * The new file INSTALL describes how to install CVS, including + detailed descriptions of interfaces to "configure". + + * The example loginfo file in examples/loginfo has been updated to + use the perl script included in contrib/log.pl. The nice thing + about this log program is that it records the revision numbers of + your change in the log message. + + Example files for commitinfo and rcsinfo are now included in the + examples directory. + + * All "#if defined(__STDC__) && __STDC__ == 1" lines have been + changed to be "#if __STDC__" to fix some problems with the former. + + * The lib/regex.[ch] files have been updated to the 1.3 release of + the GNU regex package. + + * The ndbm emulation routines included with CVS 1.3 Beta-2 in the + src/ndbm.[ch] files has been moved into the src/myndbm.[ch] files + to avoid any conflict with the system header file. If + you had a previous CVS 1.3 Beta release, you will want to "cvs + remove ndbm.[ch]" form your copy of CVS as well. + + * "cvs add" and "cvs remove" are a bit more verbose, telling you + what to do to add/remove your file permanently. + + * We no longer mess with /dev/tty in "commit" and "add". + + * More things are quiet with the -Q option set. + + * New src/config.h option: If CVS_BADROOT is set, CVS will not + allow people really logged in as "root" to commit changes. + + * "cvs diff" exits with a status of 0 if there were no diffs, 1 if + there were diffs, and 2 if there were errors. + + * "cvs -n diff" is now supported so that you can still run diffs + even while in the middle of committing files. + + * Handling of the CVS/Entries file is now much more robust. + + * The default file ignore list now includes "*.so". + + * "cvs import" did not expand '@' in the log message correctly. It + does now. Also, import now uses the ignore file facility + correctly. + + Import will now tell you whether there were conflicts that need to + be resolved, and how to resolve them. + + * "cvs log" has been changed so that you can "log" things that are + not a part of the current release (in the Attic). + + * If you don't change the editor message on commit, CVS now prompts + you with the choice: + + !)reuse this message unchanged for remaining dirs + + which allows you to tell CVS that you have no intention of changing + the log message for the remainder of the commit. + + * It is no longer necessary to have CVSROOT set if you are using + the -H option to get Usage information on the commands. + + * Command argument changes: + checkout: -P handling changed as described above. + New -j option (up to 2 can be specified) + for doing rcsmerge kind of things on + checkout. + commit: -r option now supports committing to a + numeric or symbolic tags, with some + restrictions. Full consistency checks will + be done. + Added "-f logfile" option, which tells + commit to glean the log message from the + specified file, rather than invoking the + editor. + rtag: Added -b option to create a branch tag, + useful for creating a patch for a previous + release, or for forking development. + tag: Added -b option to create a branch tag, + useful for creating a patch for a previous + release, or for forking development. + update: New -j option (up to 2 can be specified) + for doing rcsmerge kind of things on + update. + +Thu Jan 9 10:51:35 MST 1992 Jeff Polk (polk at BSDI.COM) + + * Changes between CVS 1.3 Beta-1 and CVS 1.3 Beta-2 + + * Thanks to K. Richard Pixley at Cygnus we now have function + prototypes in all the files + + * Some small changes to configure for portability. There have + been other portability problems submitted that have not been fixed + (Brian will be working on those). Additionally all __STDC__ + tests have been modified to check __STDC__ against the constant 1 + (this is what the Second edition of K&R says must be true). + + * Lots of additional error checking for forked processes (run_exec) + (thanks again to K. Richard Pixley) + + * Lots of miscellaneous bug fixes - including but certainly not + limited to: + various commit core dumps + various update core dumps + bogus results from status with numeric sticky tags + commitprog used freed memory + Entries file corruption caused by No_Difference + commit to revision broken (now works if branch exists) + ignore file processing broken for * and ! + ignore processing didn't handle memory reasonably + miscellaneous bugs in the recursion processor + file descriptor leak in ParseInfo + CVSROOT.adm->CVSROOT rename bug + lots of lint fixes + + * Reformatted all the code in src (with GNU indent) and then + went back and fixed prototypes, etc since indent gets confused. The + rationale is that it is better to do it sooner than later and now + everything is consistent and will hopefully stay that way. + The basic options to indent were: "-bad -bbb -bap -cdb -d0 -bl -bli0 + -nce -pcs -cs -cli4 -di1 -nbc -psl -lp -i4 -ip4 -c41" and then + miscellaneous formatting fixes were applied. Note also that the + "-nfc1" or "-nfca" may be appropriate in files where comments have + been carefully formatted (e.g, modules.c). + +Sat Dec 14 20:35:22 1991 Brian Berliner (berliner at sun.com) + + * Changes between CVS 1.2 and CVS 1.3 Beta are described here. + + * Lots of portability work. CVS now uses the GNU "configure" + script to dynamically determine the features provided by your + system. It probably is not foolproof, but it is better than + nothing. Please let me know of any portability problems. Some + file names were changed to fit within 14-characters. + + * CVS has a new RCS parser that is much more flexible and + extensible. It should read all known RCS ",v" format files. + + * Most of the commands now are fully recursive, rather than just + operating on the current directory alone. This includes "commit", + which makes it real easy to do an "atomic" commit of all the + changes made to a CVS hierarchy of sources. Most of the commands + also correctly handle file names that are in directories other than + ".", including absolute path names. Commands now accept the "-R" + option to force recursion on (though it is always the default now) + and the "-l" option to force recursion off, doing just "." and not + any sub-directories. + + * CVS supports many of the features provided with the RCS 5.x + distribution - including the new "-k" keyword expansion options. I + recommend using RCS 5.x (5.6 is the current official RCS version) + and GNU diff 1.15 (or later) distributions with CVS. + + * Checking out files with symbolic tags/dates is now "sticky", in + that CVS remembers the tag/date used for each file (and directory) + and will use that tag/date automatically on the next "update" call. + This stickyness also holds for files checked out with the the new + RCS 5.x "-k" options. + + * The "cvs diff" command now recognizes all of the rcsdiff 5.x + options. Unidiff format is available by installing the GNU + diff 1.15 distribution. + + * The old "CVS.adm" directories created on checkout are now called + "CVS" directories, to look more like "RCS" and "SCCS". Old CVS.adm + directories are automagically converted to CVS directories. The + old "CVSROOT.adm" directory within the source repository is + automagically changed into a "CVSROOT" directory as well. + + * Symbolic links in the source repository are fully supported ONLY + if you use RCS 5.6 or later and (of course) your system supports + symlinks. + + * A history database has been contributed which maintains the + history of certain CVS operations, as well as providing a wide array + of querying options. + + * The "cvs" program has a "-n" option which can be used with the + "update" command to show what would be updated without actually + doing the update, like: "cvs -n update". All usage statements + have been cleaned up and made more verbose. + + * The module database parsing has been rewritten. The new format + is compatible with the old format, but with much more + functionality. It allows modules to be created that grab pieces or + whole directories from various different parts of your source + repository. Module-relative specifications are also correctly + recognized now, like "cvs checkout module/file.c". + + * A configurable template can be specified such that on a "commit", + certain directories can supply a template that the user must fill + before completing the commit operation. + + * A configurable pre-commit checking program can be specified which + will run to verify that a "commit" can happen. This feature can be + used to restrict certain users from changing certain pieces of the + source repository, or denying commits to the entire source + repository. + + * The new "cvs export" command is much like "checkout", but + establishes defaults suitable for exporting code to others (expands + out keywords, forces the use of a symbolic tag, and does not create + "CVS" directories within the checked out sources. + + * The new "cvs import" command replaces the deprecated "checkin" + shell script and is used to import sources into CVS control. It is + also much faster for the first-time import. Some algorithmic + improvements have also been made to reduce the number of + conflicting files on next-time imports. + + * The new "cvs admin" command is basically an interface to the + "rcs" program. (Not yet implemented very well). + + * Signal handling (on systems with BSD or POSIX signals) is much + improved. Interrupting CVS now works with a single interrupt! + + * CVS now invokes RCS commands by direct fork/exec rather than + calling system(3). This improves performance by removing a call to + the shell to parse the arguments. + + * Support for the .cvsignore file has been contributed. CVS will + now show "unknown" files as "? filename" as the result of an "update" + command. The .cvsignore file can be used to add files to the + current list of ignored files so that they won't show up as unknown. + + * Command argument changes: + cvs: Added -l to turn off history logging. + Added -n to show what would be done without actually + doing anything. + Added -q/-Q for quiet and really quiet settings. + Added -t to show debugging trace. + add: Added -k to allow RCS 5.x -k options to be specified. + admin: New command; an interface to rcs(1). + checkout: Added -A to reset sticky tags/date/options. + Added -N to not shorten module paths. + Added -R option to force recursion. + Changed -p (prune empty directories) to -P option. + Changed -f option; forcing tags match is now default. + Added -p option to checkout module to standard output. + Added -s option to cat the modules db with status. + Added -d option to checkout in the specified directory. + Added -k option to use RCS 5.x -k support. + commit: Removed -a option; use -l instead. + Removed -f option. + Added -l option to disable recursion. + Added -R option to force recursion. + If no files specified, commit is recursive. + diff: Now recognizes all RCS 5.x rcsdiff options. + Added -l option to disable recursion. + Added -R option to force recursion. + history: New command; displays info about CVS usage. + import: Replaces "checkin" shell script; imports sources + under CVS control. Ignores files on the ignore + list (see -I option or .cvsignore description above). + export: New command; like "checkout", but w/special options + turned on by default to facilitate exporting sources. + join: Added -B option to join from base of the branch; + join now defaults to only joining with the top two + revisions on the branch. + Added -k option for RCS 5.x -k support. + log: Supports all RCS 5.x options. + Added -l option to disable recursion. + Added -R option to force recursion. + patch: Changed -f option; forcing tags match is now default. + Added -c option to force context-style diffs. + Added -u option to support unidiff-style diffs. + Added -V option to support RCS specific-version + keyword expansion formats. + Added -R option to force recursion. + remove: No option changes. It's a bit more verbose. + rtag: Equivalent to the old "cvs tag" command. + No option changes. It's a lot faster for re-tag. + status: New output formats with more information. + Added -l option to disable recursion. + Added -R option to force recursion. + Added -v option to show symbolic tags for files. + tag: Functionality changed to tag checked out files + rather than modules; use "rtag" command to get the + old "cvs tag" behaviour. + update: Added -A to reset sticky tags/date/options. + Changed -p (prune empty directories) to -P option. + Changed -f option; forcing tags match is now default. + Added -p option to checkout module to standard output. + Added -I option to add files to the ignore list. + Added -R option to force recursion. + + Major Contributors: + + * Jeff Polk rewrote most of the grody code of CVS + 1.2. He made just about everything dynamic (by using malloc), + added a generic hashed list manager, re-wrote the modules database + parsing in a compatible - but extended way, generalized directory + hierarchy recursion for virtually all the commands (including + commit!), generalized the loginfo file to be used for pre-commit + checks and commit templates, wrote a new and flexible RCS parser, + fixed an uncountable number of bugs, and helped in the design of + future CVS features. If there's anything gross left in CVS, it's + probably my fault! + + * David G. Grubbs contributed the CVS "history" and + "release" commands. As well as the ever-so-useful "-n" option of + CVS which tells CVS to show what it would do, without actually + doing it. He also contributed support for the .cvsignore file. + + * Paul Sander, HaL Computer Systems, Inc. wrote and + contributed the code in lib/sighandle.c. I added support for + POSIX, BSD, and non-POSIX/non-BSD systems. + + * Free Software Foundation contributed the "configure" script and + other compatibility support in the "lib" directory, which will help + make CVS much more portable. + + * Many others have contributed bug reports and enhancement requests. + Some have even submitted actual code which I have not had time yet + to integrate into CVS. Maybe for the next release. + + * Thanks to you all! + +Wed Feb 6 10:10:58 1991 Brian Berliner (berliner at sun.com) + + * Changes from CVS 1.0 Patchlevel 1 to CVS 1.0 Patchlevel 2; also + known as "Changes from CVS 1.1 to CVS 1.2". + + * Major new support with this release is the ability to use the + recently-posted RCS 5.5 distribution with CVS 1.2. See below for + other assorted bug-fixes that have been thrown in. + + * ChangeLog (new): Added Emacs-style change-log file to CVS 1.2 + release. Chronological description of changes between release. + + * README: Small fixes to installation instructions. My email + address is now "berliner@sun.com". + + * src/Makefile: Removed "rcstime.h". Removed "depend" rule. + + * src/partime.c: Updated to RCS 5.5 version with hooks for CVS. + * src/maketime.c: Updated to RCS 5.5 version with hooks for CVS. + * src/rcstime.h: Removed from the CVS 1.2 distribution. + Thanks to Paul Eggert for these changes. + + * src/checkin.csh: Support for RCS 5.5 parsing. + Thanks to Paul Eggert for this change. + + * src/collect_sets.c (Collect_Sets): Be quieter if "-f" option is + specified. When checking out files on-top-of other files that CVS + doesn't know about, run a diff in the hopes that they are really + the same file before aborting. + + * src/commit.c (branch_number): Fix for RCS 5.5 parsing. + Thanks to Paul Eggert for this change. + + * src/commit.c (do_editor): Bug fix - fprintf missing argument + which sometimes caused core dumps. + + * src/modules.c (process_module): Properly NULL-terminate + update_dir[] in all cases. + + * src/no_difference.c (No_Difference): The wrong RCS revision was + being registered in certain (strange) cases. + + * src/patch.c (get_rcsdate): New algorithm. No need to call + maketime() any longer. + Thanks to Paul Eggert for this change. + + * src/patchlevel.h: Increased patch level to "2". + + * src/subr.c (isdir, islink): Changed to compare stat mode bits + correctly. + + * src/tag.c (tag_file): Added support for following symbolic links + that are in the master source repository when tagging. Made tag + somewhat quieter in certain cases. + + * src/update.c (update_process_lists): Unlink the user's file if it + was put on the Wlist, meaning that the user's file is not modified + and its RCS file has been removed by someone else. + + * src/update.c (update): Support for "cvs update dir" to correctly + just update the argument directory "dir". + + * src/cvs.h: Fixes for RCS 5.5 parsing. + * src/version_number.c (Version_Number): Fixes for parsing RCS 5.5 + and older RCS-format files. + Thanks to Paul Eggert for these changes. + + * src/version_number.c (Version_Number): Bug fixes for "-f" option. + Bug fixes for parsing with certain branch numbers. RCS + revision/symbol parsing is much more solid now. + +Wed Feb 14 10:01:33 1990 Brian Berliner (berliner at sun.com) + + * Changes from CVS 1.0 Patchlevel 0 to CVS 1.0 Patchlevel 1; also + known as "Changes from CVS 1.0 to CVS 1.1". + + * src/patch.c (get_rcsdate): Portability fix. Replaced call to + timelocal() with call to maketime(). + +Mon Nov 19 23:15:11 1990 Brian Berliner (berliner at prisma.com) + + * Sent CVS 1.0 release to comp.sources.unix moderator and FSF. + + * Special thanks to Dick Grune for his work on the + 1986 version of CVS and making it available to the world. Dick's + version is available on uunet.uu.net in the + comp.sources.unix/volume6/cvs directory. + +$CVSid: @(#)ChangeLog 1.35 94/10/22 $ -- cgit v1.1
