John Polstra recently said that sometimes cvsup could delete the local changes, so he recomened backup of the local tree before each backup. At least I think the warning should be included in the manual page. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=436449+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2003/freebsd-hackers/20030803.freebsd-hackers Part of the mail from John Polstra : > Any advice? Yes: look for a different approach, or at least backup your local repository frequently. There are known bugs in CVSup which can cause it to throw away your local branch under certain circumstances. I won't have time to fix those issues any time soon. So my advice is, don't use the CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM feature. [END] -- Simon L.
