295 The function @code{cvs-examine} will ask for a directory. The command | |
296 @samp{cvs -n update} will be run in that directory. (It should contain | |
297 files that have been checked out from a CVS archive.) The output from | |
298 @code{cvs} will be parsed and presented in a table in a buffer called | |
299 @samp{*cvs*}. It might look something like this: | |

301 @example | |

318 | |
319 In this example, your repository is in @file{/usr/CVSroot} and CVS has | |
320 been run in the directory @file{/users/ceder/FOO/test}. The three files | |
321 (@file{bar}, @file{file.txt} and | |
322 @file{newer}) that are marked with @samp{Need-Update} have been changed | |
323 by someone else in the CVS repository. Two files (@file{namechange} | |
324 and @file{sub/ChangeLog}) have been modified locally, and need to be | |
325 checked in. | |

442 versions available in the repository.@refill | |

445 The file was brought up to date with respect to the remote repository by | |
446 way of fetching and applying a patch to the file in your source. This | |

487 @findex cvs-allow-dir-commit |
29349 | 488 Furthermore, each command only operates on a subset of the selected |
489 files, depending on whether or not the command is @dfn{applicable} to | |
490 each file (based on the file's status). For example, | |
491 @code{cvs-mode-commit} is not applicable to a file whose status is | |
492 @samp{Need-Update}. If it should happen that PCL-CVS guesses the | |
493 applicability wrong, you can override it with the special prefix | |
494 @code{cvs-mode-force-command} normally bound to @kbd{M-f} (and file a | |
495 bug report). The applicability rule can be slightly changed with | |
496 @code{cvs-allow-dir-commit} and @code{cvs-force-dir-tag}. | |
497 | |
498 By default, marks are always in effect (you may change this, however, by | |
499 setting the variable @code{cvs-default-ignore-marks}) except for the | |
500 commands that @samp{tag} or @samp{diff} a file (which can be changed | |
501 with the variable @code{cvs-invert-ignore-marks}). | |
502 | |
503 In addition, you may use the special prefix @code{cvs-mode-toggle-marks} | |
504 normally bound to @key{T} to toggle the use of marks for the following | |
505 command. | |
506 | |
507 This scheme might seem a little complicated, but once one gets used to | |
508 it, it is quite powerful. | |

609 @cindex Command-line options to CVS |
29349 | 610 |
611 This section describes the convention used by nearly all PCL-CVS | |
612 commands for setting optional flags sent to CVS. A single @kbd{C-u} | |
613 prefix argument is used to cause the command to prompt for flags to be | |
614 used for the current invocation of the command only. Two @kbd{C-u} prefix | |
615 arguments are used to prompt for flags which will be set permanently, for the | |
616 current invocation and all that follow, until the flags are changed, or | |
617 unless temporary flags are set which override them. | |
618 | |
619 Perhaps an example or two is in order. Say you are about to add a | |
620 binary file to the repository, and want to specify the flags @samp{-kb} | |

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

628 subsequent diffs to use this flag. You can type @kbd{C-u C-u = -u @key{RET}} |
29349 | 629 and the diff will be performed, and the default flags will be set to |
630 @code{("-u")}. You can of course override this flag for a single diff | |

635 These work as follows: When called with a @kbd{C-u} prefix, the user is |
29349 | 636 prompted for a new value of the special prefix and the special prefix is |
637 activated for the next command. When called without the @kbd{C-u} | |
638 prefix, the special prefix is re-activated (with the same value as last | |
639 time) for the next command. Calling the prefix command again when it's | |
640 already activated deactivates it. Calling it with the @kbd{C-u C-u} | |
641 prefix activates it for all subsequent commands until you deactivate it | |
642 explicitly. The special prefixes are: | |

804 Committing changes basically works as follows: | |

808 After having selected the files you want to commit, you type either | |

810 @samp{*cvs-commit*}.@refill | |
811 | |

818 commit.@refill | |

1184 Buffers for entering/editing log messages for changes which are about | |

1187 Sometimes the log buffer contains default text when you enter it, | |
1188 typically the last log message entered. If it does, mark and point | |

1195 control, you can generate the Log Edit text from the ChangeLog using | |
1196 @kbd{C-a C-a} (@kbd{log-edit-insert-changelog}). This looks for | |
1197 entries for the file(s) concerned in the top entry in the ChangeLog | |
1198 and uses those paragraphs as the log text. This text is only inserted | |
1199 if the top entry was made under your user name on the current date. | |
