I am not wise in the > ways of CVS. Ah, sorry.. well, you can read all about it in the handbook I think (I've never set up a CVS repository myself). But assuming you have access to one, "cvs log xxx" will display all checkins to file xxx and who did them, when, what the checkin comment was, etc. So this is a way to trace the history of a file in terms of maintenance. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
