Hello, Cvs people,
i'm sorry if this is the wrong list to post a feature-request mail, but it
seemed like the most appropriate place...
i've often been surprised that cvs doesn't have the ability to read in
commands from stdin/scripts:
#!/usr/bin/cvs -z3
up -r 1.1 some/file
up -r HEAD some/other/file
up -r 1.45 yet/another/file
status some/other/file2
diff -u file1
...
or: cat mycommands | cvs -d:ext:....
Assuming each command line inherits all "global" options (like cvsroot), it
seems like this would be an efficient way of handing many operations over one
connection.
Take care,
----- stephan
