Assuming you've done this (using the example from the Per Cederqvist et al
manual):
cvs import -m "Import of FSF v. 0.04" fsf/wdiff FSF_DIST WDIFF_0_04
What's the difference between later doing this :
cvs import -m "Import of FSF v. 0.05" fsf/wdiff FSF_DIST WDIFF_0_05
compared to doing a checkout, untaring (or copying or whatever) into the
checked out copy and then doing a commit ?
What are the pros and cons of each ?
One would think that the later gives you finer grained control because for
example you could manually specify for each file whether to save it as binary
etc. However, is this how it works in practice ? Also, does the former method
do the equivalent of a 'cvs remove' for files that are no longer in the
third-party release ?
Cheers,
