Subject: Re: Kernel SCM: When does CVS fall down where it REALLY matters?
Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2002 14:22:33 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200203092222.OAA03372@morrowfield.home> (raw)




       Val Henson:

       For a laugh, read the instructions on how to "rename" CVS files. 
       Hint: "Rename" is not the correct word. 


       $ mv old new 
       $ cvs remove old 
       $ cvs add new 
       $ cvs commit -m "Renamed old to new" old new 

       [...]  There are two other ways to rename a file in CVS, one of
       which is described as "dangerous" and the other as having
       "drawbacks." References:


       Note that the way to rename a file in in BitKeeper is: 

       $ bk mv old new 

       No danger, no drawbacks, no hand editing of history files. 


I like the arch way of renaming a file:

	$ mv old new

(Yes, history is preserved, etc.)
