Sorry for the list abse, but I'm looking for some help with CVS. I need to find a way to impose changes from the central repository on locally checked out modules. Some modules may have a few hundered files. Sometimes these files get modified locally in a "quick hack" during production. The issue being worked around will be fixed properly and committed to the vault where it needs to be distributed, etc. The files in the repository are authoritative and should replace the local files, rather than merge with them. Conflicts get even uglier as the files in question are usually config files, or shell scripts (I know I've preached about not using CVS for config management on this list before, but I have no other options currently.)
I'm using the following command to achieve this with version 1.8.1-1: cvs -q update 2>&1|egrep "^C|^M"|cut -f2|xargs rm -f;cvs update It would sure be nice to have a straight forward way of doing that instead of this hack. Is there a force option to "checkout" or "update" in 1.9? Does(will) 1.9 require libc6? Is there another way to achieve this? Thanks in advance, and sorry again for the non-debian specific question.
