Find more informations about cvs at http://www.cyclic.com. Cvs and WinCVS are free and distributed under the terms of the Gnu Public Licence version 2.
|
||||
Despite cvs is free, you can have a commercial support by contacting Cyclic Software Inc. (http://www.cyclic.com)
|
||||
Before using WinCvs, you should have read the cvs documentation.
|
||||
In order to take full advantage of WinCvs, update your server to cvs-1.10 and use the cvs-1.10 client mode in WinCvs (Preferences).
|
||||
Read the log window, it is a good way to learn how to use cvs as a command line tool.
|
||||
Never experience new cvs commands on your working repository. Create a sample module instead.
|
||||
You can type a cvs command in the log window if you installed TCL (http://www.tclconsortium.org)
|
||||
Having the cvs repository backed-up every-day is a good idea...
|
||||
The cvs documentation explains in details how to use branching and merging.
|
||||
Use the TCP/IP compression only if you have a slow modem connection.
|
||||
You can easily visualize the history of a file by using the "Graph log" command.
|
||||
In order to use the command "Lock", you have to set-up correctly the server (see the cvs documentation).
|
||||
Using a Unix server is a good choice for cvs if you want to customize the cvs behaviours.
|
||||
Check-out the standard module "CVSROOT" in order to customize the cvs server remotely.
|
||||
Using TCL script, you can call an external program using the command "exec".
|
||||
cvs is outstanding for tracking/customizing third part source code or libraries (see the cvs documentation about the import process).
|
||||
You cannot remove a folder : use the "prune" option instead.
|
||||
Importing a new module requires some skills : WinCvs is designed to make it easier.
|
||||
You can open a file directly from WinCvs by double-clicking on it. You can also customize this feature (see the preferences).
|
||||
In the "Graph log" window you can compare revisions using an external diff program (as set in the preferences).
|
||||
You can switch between the log window and a graph window by using Ctrl+Tab.
|
||||
You can reload a view by using 'F5'.
|
||||
You can open-up an explorer view by using 'F2'.
