Another more powerful facility, designed -specifically for CVS, is called PCL-CVS. @xref{Top, , About PCL-CVS, -pcl-cvs, PCL-CVS --- The Emacs Front-End to CVS}. - -@kindex C-x v d -@findex vc-directory - When you are working on a large program, it is often useful to find -out which files have changed within an entire directory tree, or to view -the status of all files under version control at once, and to perform -version control operations on collections of files. You can use the -command @kbd{C-x v d} (@code{vc-directory}) to make a directory listing -that includes only files relevant for version control. - -@vindex vc-dired-terse-display - @kbd{C-x v d} creates a buffer which uses VC Dired Mode. This looks -much like an ordinary Dired buffer -@iftex -(@pxref{Dired,,,emacs, the Emacs Manual}); -@end iftex -@ifnottex -(@pxref{Dired}); -@end ifnottex -however, normally it shows only the noteworthy files (those locked or -not up-to-date). This is called @dfn{terse display}. If you set the -variable @code{vc-dired-terse-display} to @code{nil}, then VC Dired -shows all relevant files---those managed under version control, plus -all subdirectories (@dfn{full display}). The command @kbd{v t} in a -VC Dired buffer toggles between terse display and full display -(@pxref{VC Dired Commands}). - -@vindex vc-dired-recurse - By default, VC Dired produces a recursive listing of noteworthy or -relevant files at or below the given directory. You can change this by -setting the variable @code{vc-dired-recurse} to @code{nil}; then VC -Dired shows only the files in the given directory. - - The line for an individual file shows the version control state in the -place of the hard link count, owner, group, and size of the file. If -the file is unmodified, in sync with the master file, the version -control state shown is blank. Otherwise it consists of text in -parentheses. Under RCS and SCCS, the name of the user locking the file -is shown; under CVS, an abbreviated version of the @samp{cvs status} -output is used. Here is an example using RCS: - -@smallexample -@group - /home/jim/project: - - -rw-r--r-- (jim) Apr 2 23:39 file1 - -r--r--r-- Apr 5 20:21 file2 -@end group -@end smallexample - -@noindent -The files @samp{file1} and @samp{file2} are under version control, -@samp{file1} is locked by user jim, and @samp{file2} is unlocked. - - Here is an example using CVS: - -@smallexample -@group - /home/joe/develop: - - -rw-r--r-- (modified) Aug 2 1997 file1.c - -rw-r--r-- Apr 4 20:09 file2.c - -rw-r--r-- (merge) Sep 13 1996 file3.c -@end group -@end smallexample - - Here @samp{file1.c} is modified with respect to the repository, and -@samp{file2.c} is not. @samp{file3.c} is modified, but other changes -have also been checked in to the repository---you need to merge them -with the work file before you can check it in. - -@vindex vc-stay-local -@vindex vc-cvs-stay-local - In the above, if the repository were on a remote machine, VC would -only contact it when the variable @code{vc-stay-local} (or -@code{vc-cvs-stay-local}) is nil (@pxref{CVS Options}). This is -because access to the repository may be slow, or you may be working -offline and not have access to the repository at all. As a -consequence, VC would not be able to tell you that @samp{file3.c} is -in the ``merge'' state; you would learn that only when you try to -check-in your modified copy of the file, or use a command such as -@kbd{C-x v m}. - - In practice, this is not a problem because CVS handles this case -consistently whenever it arises. In VC, you'll simply get prompted to -merge the remote changes into your work file first. The benefits of -less network communication usually outweigh the disadvantage of not -seeing remote changes immediately. - -@vindex vc-directory-exclusion-list - When VC Dired displays subdirectories (in the ``full'' display mode), -it omits some that should never contain any files under version control. -By default, this includes Version Control subdirectories such as -@samp{RCS} and @samp{CVS}; you can customize this by setting the -variable @code{vc-directory-exclusion-list}. - - You can fine-tune VC Dired's format by typing @kbd{C-u C-x v d}---as in -ordinary Dired, that allows you to specify additional switches for the -@samp{ls} command. - -@node VC Dired Commands -@subsection VC Dired Commands - - All the usual Dired commands work normally in VC Dired mode, except -for @kbd{v}, which is redefined as the version control prefix. You can -invoke VC commands such as @code{vc-diff} and @code{vc-print-log} by -typing @kbd{v =}, or @kbd{v l}, and so on. Most of these commands apply -to the file name on the current line. - - The command @kbd{v v} (@code{vc-next-action}) operates on all the -marked files, so that you can lock or check in several files at once. -If it operates on more than one file, it handles each file according to -its current state; thus, it might lock one file, but check in another -file. This could be confusing; it is up to you to avoid confusing -behavior by marking a set of files that are in a similar state. If no -files are marked, @kbd{v v} operates on the file in the current line. - - If any files call for check-in, @kbd{v v} reads a single log entry, -then uses it for all the files being checked in. This is convenient for -registering or checking in several files at once, as part of the same -change. - -@findex vc-dired-toggle-terse-mode -@findex vc-dired-mark-locked - You can toggle between terse display (only locked files, or files not -up-to-date) and full display at any time by typing @kbd{v t} -(@code{vc-dired-toggle-terse-mode}). There is also a special command -@kbd{* l} (@code{vc-dired-mark-locked}), which marks all files currently -locked (or, with CVS, all files not up-to-date). Thus, typing @kbd{* l -t k} is another way to delete from the buffer all files except those -currently locked. - -@ignore - arch-tag: 8e8c2a01-ad41-4e61-a89a-60131ad67263 -@end ignore
