Woods) To: freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: why does CVSup sometimes "Touch" every file in the repository? X-Mailer: VM 6.45 under Emacs 20.2.1 Reply-To: woods@zeus.leitch.com (Greg A. Woods) Organization: Planix, Inc.; Toronto, Ontario; Canada Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG [[ Please send/CC replies directly to me -- I'm not on freebsd-hackers. ]] Occasionally, esp. after global tagging, etc., CVSup wants to "Touch" every file in the repository. Why? I can't think of any CVS operation that would do this unless someone deletes a tag and re-applies it between the times I run CVSup -- and I know Jordan mentioned he had moved a tag forward on a couple of files yesterday (I assumed he would have done this on only those individual files though). I'm not complaining because this causes me any pain, but I'm concerned that this might be causing undue load on the CVSup servers if it's not necessary. -- Greg A.
