Hi folks,
In our development flow we frequently have the situation where a
developer is only using a small number of the files in a given
directory. This is setup by defining a module to contain only certain
files.
All is fine until the developer does an cvs update.
The current behaviour is that all existing files are updated (which is
fine) but all other files in the directory are checked out.
This is more of an annyoance than anything else, but it can easily lead
to tagging files which aren't part of the module you are working on.
(if you use cvs tag).
What I would propose is the following update behaviour:
(1) Update only the existing files in existing directories.
(2) Update all existing files and checkout non-existing files (current
behaviour)
(3) Update all existing files, checkout non-existing files and
directories (current update -d behaviour)
Any opinions ?
Colm A
