this resembles something i (as a newbie) have been thinking about recently
-- what are all the ways i can just *query* with regards to a CVS
repository? it's this querying that seems to get such short shrift in the
CVS documentation i've seen.
certainly, there's variations like:
$ cvs log ...
$ dvs diff ...
$ cvs co -c
and so on. i think it would be immensely useful for beginners like me to
have a reference list/cheat sheet of all of these kinds of options since,
in a big way, beginners have a real fear of committing or updating when
they don't know what's about to happen.
so all the different ways to query an existing repository would be a good
start.
