29349 | 450 Furthermore, each command only operates on a subset of the selected |
451 files, depending on whether or not the command is @dfn{applicable} to | |
452 each file (based on the file's status). For example, | |
453 @code{cvs-mode-commit} is not applicable to a file whose status is | |
454 @samp{Need-Update}. If it should happen that PCL-CVS guesses the | |
455 applicability wrong, you can override it with the special prefix | |
456 @code{cvs-mode-force-command} normally bound to @kbd{M-f} (and file a | |
457 bug report). The applicability rule can be slightly changed with | |
458 @code{cvs-allow-dir-commit} and @code{cvs-force-dir-tag}. | |
459 | |
460 By default, marks are always in effect (you may change this, however, by | |
461 setting the variable @code{cvs-default-ignore-marks}) except for the | |
462 commands that @samp{tag} or @samp{diff} a file (which can be changed | |
463 with the variable @code{cvs-invert-ignore-marks}). | |
464 | |
465 In addition, you may use the special prefix @code{cvs-mode-toggle-marks} | |
466 normally bound to @key{T} to toggle the use of marks for the following | |
467 command. | |
468 | |
469 This scheme might seem a little complicated, but once one gets used to | |
470 it, it is quite powerful. | |

571 @cindex Command-line options to CVS |
29349 | 572 |
573 This section describes the convention used by nearly all PCL-CVS | |
574 commands for setting optional flags sent to CVS. A single @kbd{C-u} | |
575 prefix argument is used to cause the command to prompt for flags to be | |
576 used for the current invocation of the command only. Two @kbd{C-u} prefix | |
577 arguments are used to prompt for flags which will be set permanently, for the | |
578 current invocation and all that follow, until the flags are changed, or | |
579 unless temporary flags are set which override them. | |
580 | |
581 Perhaps an example or two is in order. Say you are about to add a | |
582 binary file to the repository, and want to specify the flags @samp{-kb} | |

587 As a second example, say you are about to perform a diff and want to see | |

590 subsequent diffs to use this flag. You can type @kbd{C-u C-u = -u @key{RET}} |
29349 | 591 and the diff will be performed, and the default flags will be set to |
592 @code{("-u")}. You can of course override this flag for a single diff | |

597 These work as follows: When called with a @kbd{C-u} prefix, the user is |
29349 | 598 prompted for a new value of the special prefix and the special prefix is |
599 activated for the next command. When called without the @kbd{C-u} | |
600 prefix, the special prefix is re-activated (with the same value as last | |
601 time) for the next command. Calling the prefix command again when it's | |
602 already activated deactivates it. Calling it with the @kbd{C-u C-u} | |
603 prefix activates it for all subsequent commands until you deactivate it | |
604 explicitly. The special prefixes are: | |

766 Committing changes basically works as follows: | |
767 | |
768 @enumerate | |
769 @item | |
770 After having selected the files you want to commit, you type either | |
771 @kbd{c} or @kbd{C} which brings up a special buffer | |
772 @samp{*cvs-commit*}.@refill | |
773 | |
774 @item | |
775 You type in the log message describing the changes you're about to | |
36059 | 776 commit (@pxref{Log Edit Mode}). |
29349 | 777 |
778 @item | |
779 When you're happy with it, you type @kbd{C-c C-c} to do the actual | |
780 commit.@refill | |
781 @end enumerate | |
782 | |
783 There's no hidden state, so you can abort the process or pick it up | |
784 again at any time. | |

29349 | 789 change your mind about which files to commit, but it also means that you |
790 might inadvertently change the set of selected files. To reduce the | |

795 As for the difference between @kbd{c} (i.e. @code{cvs-mode-commit}) and | |
