* create repository
  set cvsroot=:local:d:/irda/cvsroot
  set cvsroot=\\homer\homes\ddc\irda\cvsroot

  cvs init

* create .cvsignore files in every directory
** content of .cvsignore:
   *.jpg
   *.exe
** content of optional .cvswrappers:
   *.jpg -k 'b'   ... marks a binary file format extension
   cvs.txt -k 'o' ... do no keyword expansion
   Or you can use:
     cvs add -ko cvs.txt
     cvs ci -m "added cvs.txt" cvs.txt

* copy all files to temporary directory
  cd irda.tmp
  cvs import -m"Start" IrDA riic start

* to make all checkouts read-only, type after the first checkout:
  (not really needed)
  cd c:\projects\
  cvs co -d IrDA IrDA
  (cvs watch on               #makes checkouts read-only)

(#eventually)
(cd \\homer\homes\ddc\irda)
(cvs co -d digital IrDA)

* Global cvs options:
  These commands are written before the command (cvs [global options] command ...)
  cvs -d cvsroot_position command          ... override CVSROOT variable
    e.g.: cvs -d :local:j:\ddc\chipdockpci co chipdockpci
  -Q suppress every output
  -q suppress nonessentioal output, but show important information
     e.g. cvs -q update
  -n do nothing, but show what cvs would do

* checkout a project
  cd c:\projects\
  cvs co -d IrDA IrDA

* checkout in a different directory
  cvs co -d modelsim_common utils/modelsim

* checkout a project at a given date
  cvs -d :local:j:/ddc/chipdockpci update -D "18 Sep" (in the projects root dir)

* remove any sticky tags, dates
  cvs -d :local:j:/ddc/chipdockpci -q update -A

* put version information in a source file
  $Id$ is replaced by: $Id: cvs.txt,v 1.1 2000/09/20 11:29:54 reichr Mod $
  $Log$ is replaced by the file history

* Tagging
  cvs -n tag some_tag ... try it out
  cvs tag some_tag    ... do it

* add new files:
  cvs add filelist
  cvs commit -m "comment" filelist

* remove the file 1.c:
  cvs remove 1.c
  cvs commit -m"removed 1.c" 1.c
  or cvs ci -m"removed 1.c" 1.c


* release (delete) a no longer used working copy
  (option -d: delete the local directory tree)
  cvs release -d IrDA

* remove a version - should not be done - not tested
  cvs admin executes a RCS command:
    cvs admin -o1.3 file.txt

* Change File state from binary to text
  rm filename.ext           # remove the binary file
  cvs rm filename.ext     # remove the file from the repository
  cvs ci filename.ext      # commit the remove

  remove the original file from the Attic

  cvs ad filename.ext     # add the new text file
  cvs ci filename.ext      # commit the add

  At this point, the repository is correct, and a 'cvs up -A' by the user gets
  him the correct file in his local trees.  It's a little convoluted, but it
  seems to work.
