NAME¶
cvs-switchroot —
change repository or
tag in a cvs working copy
SYNOPSIS¶
cvs-switchroot |
[-T]
newroot [file
...] |
cvs-switchroot |
[-T] -
srcpath [file
...] |
DESCRIPTION¶
The
cvs-switchroot utility manipulates a CVS working copy
directly, modifying the information stored in the administrative subdirectory
and saving space by hardlinking if possible.
If the
-T option is given, the sticky tag is operated on,
otherwise, the repository path (
CVSROOT
).
The information (Tag or Root) is set to the same as in
srcpath if the first non-option argument
newroot is a sole dash (‘-’), the literal
value
newroot otherwise.
EXAMPLES¶
Change all
Root information in the current sandbox to
/cvs:
Set all roots in the current working directory and all its subdirectories to the
Root of the parent directory:
Hardlink the
Tag information in the current working directory,
for example
/usr/src, and
/usr/ports with
each other:
$ cvs-switchroot -T - . . /usr/ports
