We are aproaching a release. 3. CTM doesn't understand moving files. Contrary to src-cur, cvs-cur >does< take some big hits every now and then. I guess the "new" people needs a warning: When the tree gets hit by a tag, or something gets deleted, you will see big deltas coming your way. Well, what can I say ? "Be prepared" is about the best of it. CTM is pretty much in the users hands right now. I have little or no time to work on it, and generally are limited to review and commit submissions from users. If you want it to cope better, you will find the source in /usr/src/usr.sbin/ctm. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
