:Now we've gone and got forked, can someone please give us examples of cvsup
:files for those that want to follow 4-current and those that want to follow
:3-stable.
:
:Thanks!
It's real simple. The -stable is the 3.x branch. This is the branch
that Jordan just created tonight. So, for example, if you do a
'cvs log kern/vfs_bio.c' you will see this:
...
head: 1.193
...
RELENG_3: 1.193.0.2
RELENG_3_BP: 1.193
What this means is that the HEAD of the CVS tree is 1.193, and
RELENG_3 ( the new -stable ) has been forked off as 1.193.0.2.
If your files are currently checked out and have the HEAD branch's
revision, then anything you checkin will be checked in under
-current ( the -4.x tree ).
If your files are currently checked out and have RELENG_3's branch
revision, then anything you check in will be checked in under
-stable ( the -3.x tree ).
If you haven't messed with your CVS tree and it was previously
-current ( 3.x ), it is still -current, but is now 4.x.
