The pipe symbol implied to me that -r & -D were mutually exclusive on export, but they're Not. Neither are -r & -D mutually exclusive on co = checkout = get, so I checked export function too & thankfully they're not mutually exclusive on export either. man cvs line should omit the | symbol & add [] twice, thus: export [-flNnQq] [-r rev] [-D date] [-d dir] [-k kflag] module... >How-To-Repeat: cd a cvs -R export -D "1-Aug-2004" sys du -s 86114 ------ cd b cvs -R export -r RELENG_5 -D "1-Aug-2004" sys du -s 65964 >Fix: man cvs > ~/tmp/cvs.man1 cd /usr/src ; patch -p 1 << EOF *** 5.3-RELEASE/contrib/cvs/man/cvs.1.orig Tue Jun 21 12:59:11 2005 --- new/contrib/cvs/man/cvs.1 Tue Jun 21 14:33:18 2005 *************** *** 1129,1135 **** .I you have changed), or that differ from the revision specified. .TP ! \fBexport\fP [\-\fBf\|lNnQq\fP] \fB\-r\fP \fIrev\fP\||\|\fB\-D\fP \fIdate\fP [\fB\-d\fP \fIdir\fP] [\fB\-k\fP \fIkflag\fP] \fImodule\fP.\|.\|. .I Requires: repository. .br --- 1129,1136 ---- .I you have changed), or that differ from the revision specified. .TP ! .\" \fBexport\fP [\-\fBf\|lNnQq\fP] \fB\-r\fP \fIrev\fP\||\|\fB\-D\fP \fIdate\fP [\fB\-d\fP \fIdir\fP] [\fB\-k\fP \fIkflag\fP] \fImodule\fP.\|.\|. ! \fBexport\fP [\-\fBf\|lNnQq\fP] [\fB\-r\fP \fIrev\fP\|] [\|\fB\-D\fP \fIdate\fP] [\fB\-d\fP \fIdir\fP] [\fB\-k\fP \fIkflag\fP] \fImodule\fP.\|.\|. .I Requires: repository. .br EOF cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs; make install; man cvs > ~/tmp/cvs.man2 diff -c ~/tmp/cvs.man[12]; rm ~/tmp/cvs.man[12] ! export [-flNnQq] -r rev|-D date [-d dir] [-k kflag] module... ! export [-flNnQq] [-r rev] [-D date] [-d dir] [-k kflag] module... >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
