From: Paul Richards <paul@isl.cf.ac.uk> Subject: Re: cvs commit: CVSROOT modules In reply to Paul Traina who said Please, no-one do any more of this. Those of use who sup the cvs tree get stuck with this forever since groff will always be in the cvs tree and if this carries on eventually even those of us with lots (I have 2 Gb) of disk are going to have to bail out. At some point, we're going to have to remove groff from the cvs tree. I guess the only way to do this is to remove all the current files and then import into the same area of the tree. That's what I did when I ditched the old libforms and imported a completely new one although I admit that was a much simpler job. The principle's the same though. The idea here was to avoid a discontinuity, otherwise there's no way to ask CVS: "Give me a snapshot of freebsd 2.0R sources." Every other convoluted way of doing the same thing involved just as much code getting stuffed into the attic (sigh).
