I'm using cvsup for a while now to get a copy of the FreeBSD CVS repository
and I have a (slightly modified) version of -STABLE checked out from there.
Now there are certain areas where I'd like to see what changed before
doing a "cvs update". Currently I'm using "cvs diff -u -N -r BASE -r RELENG_4"
to do that. However this has one drawback that I'm hoping you'll be
able to help me with: If files have been removed from the distribution,
these files continue to show up as getting readded (even though they
won't when doing an update). To see the problem, you can go to
/usr/src/sbin/md5 and run the above cvs diff command.
That's normal behaviour with CVS when using branches.
Which, again, won't list the files I don't have yet.The only workaround I know of is to specify the files explicitly. With zsh, you can do 'cvs diff -Nu -rBASE -rRELENG_4 **/*~*CVS*(.)'
Wouldn't you consider it a bug listing files that are not really part of either revision? Maybe I should file a bug report with the CVS people?
Anyway, thanks a lot for your reply. Rolf
