Updating a module with the import command
=========================================
When a new release of the source arrives, you import it into the
repository with the same `import' command that you used to set up the
repository in the first place. The only difference is that you specify
a different release tag this time.
$ tar xfz wdiff-0.05.tar.gz
$ cd wdiff-0.05
$ cvs import -m "Import of FSF v. 0.05" fsf/wdiff FSF_DIST WDIFF_0_05
For files that have not been modified locally, the newly created
revision becomes the head revision. If you have made local changes,
`import' will warn you that you must merge the changes into the main
trunk, and tell you to use `checkout -j' to do so.
$ cvs checkout -jFSF_DIST:yesterday -jFSF_DIST wdiff
The above command will check out the latest revision of `wdiff',
merging the changes made on the vendor branch `FSF_DIST' since
yesterday into the working copy. If any conflicts arise during the
merge they should be resolved in the normal way (*note Conflicts
example::.). Then, the modified files may be committed.
Using a date, as suggested above, assumes that you do not import
more than one release of a product per day. If you do, you can always
use something like this instead:
$ cvs checkout -jWDIFF_0_04 -jWDIFF_0_05 wdiff
In this case, the two above commands are equivalent.
