unedit vs. update -C

[Piet Verhoeve]

Hi,

 

When I use "cvs edit foo.c" to notify the cvs system that I'm changing the file, I can undo that change by calling "cvs unedit foo.c" OR by calling "cvs update -C foo.c".

Both solutions revert the changes however "update -C" creates a backup of the changes (a .# file) while the "unedit" command does not.

Is this normal CVS behaviour or can I change a setting such that "cvs unedit" will also create backup files for the user ?

 

thanks,
