BTW John, As the guru on cvs related matters can you help me with this one? If I do a vendor branch import with 'cvs import', how do I get cvs to delete files that are no longer part of the branch? At the moment I'm manually diffing the checkedout branch and the original dist, and then 'cvs delete'ing the surplus files by hand. There's gotta be a better way :) Tnx, Joe -- Josef Karthauser FreeBSD: How many times have you booted today?
