Re: Retrieving dead files from the Attic |

Here's another question I have on the same topic:
If a file is removed from CVS properly (by rm, cvs rm, cvs ci), what gets
committed to the Attic exactly? Both the file and its sister comapnion
file,v or just the latter? I've noticed that I only get to see the latter
version under all my Attic subfolders, if this is the case then I'm good but
the original file needs to be visible in the Attic too along with its
file,v, then our developers have not been properly deleting or removing
files from cvs and we're in trouble.
I still have not managed to retrieve my lost files from the Attic, executing
the 3 commands I listed. They simply don't work and retrieve new files with
zero or empty cotent. Help!
Thanks.

No, it was committed to the Attic in the subfolder where the file was
deleted. I'm now on the repository and see this file in the Attic.
However, I'm not sure whether to retrieve from the server side or my
desktop/client side? The 3 steps I posted seem to be done from the client
side? Am I on the right track? Thanks.

Did you commit the file to the Attic? i.e. cvs ci
myRepoPath/Attic/myFile.txt
Or did you commit to a branch but not to main trunk (or vice-a-versa)?
If the second is the case, then you can just merge the file from the
branch to the main trunk:
cvs co myRepoPath/
cvs up -j branch_name myRepoPath/myFile.txt
(Note the lack of Attic in the path)
