This directory contains the virgin CVS source on the vendor branch. Do
not under any circumstances commit new versions onto the mainline, new
versions or official-patch versions must be imported.
To prepare a new cvs dist for import, extract it into a fresh directory;
then delete the files and directories listed in FREEBSD-Xlist.
CVS is imported from its top level directory something like this:
cvs -n import src/contrib/cvs CVSHOME v<version>
The -n option is "don't do anything" so you can see what is about to happen
first. Remove it when it looks ok.
The initial import was done with:
cvs import src/contrib/cvs CVSHOME v1_8_1
When new versions are imported, cvs will give instructions on how to merge
the local and vendor changes when/if conflicts arise.
The developers can be reached at: <devel-cvs@cyclic.com>. Local changes
that are suitable for public consumption should be submitted for inclusion
in future releases.
peter@freebsd.org - 20 Aug 1996
Current local changes:
- CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM environment variable support for choosing the
magic branch number. (for CVSup local-commit support)
- CVSREADONLYFS environment variable and global option -R to enable
no-locking readonly mode (eg: cvs repo is a cdrom or mirror)
- the verify message script can edit the submitted log message.
- CVSROOT/options file
- Variable keyword expansion controls including custom keywords.
- $ CVSHeader$ keyword - like Header, but with $CVSROOT stripped off.
