Changes should be committed to the CVS HEAD only when they are in a
|
|
||||||
working state. The definition of "working" is somewhat liquid; a good
|
|
||||||
guiding principle is that anyone checking out HEAD should receive a
|
|
||||||
checkout of working software.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When you want to work on changes that are likely to temporarily break
|
|
||||||
large swathes of code, you should probably work on a private branch.
|
|
||||||
Since CVS branching and merging is something of a black art, here are
|
|
||||||
some simple step-by-step instructions for creating and using a branch.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To create your private branch:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# Get most up-to-date tree before branching
|
|
||||||
cvs update
|
|
||||||
# Create a branch called "my-branch"
|
|
||||||
cvs tag -b my-branch
|
|
||||||
# Switch working copy to the "my-branch" branch
|
|
||||||
cvs update -r my-branch
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
At this point you'll be on a branch called "my-branch". Any changes
|
|
||||||
you make will not affect people working on HEAD, or on other branches.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use name for your branch that is both descriptive and unique.
|
|
||||||
Starting the branch name with your SourceForge username
|
|
||||||
(e.g. "mcb30-realmode-redesign") is a good idea.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When you want to merge the changes on your branch back into HEAD, do
|
|
||||||
the following:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# Ensure there are no not-yet-checked-in modifications in your tree)
|
|
||||||
cvs -q update
|
|
||||||
# Tag the merge point in the "my-branch" branch
|
|
||||||
cvs tag -c my-branch-merge-1
|
|
||||||
# Switch working copy back to HEAD
|
|
||||||
cvs update -A
|
|
||||||
# Merge changes from the branch
|
|
||||||
cvs update -j my-branch
|
|
||||||
# Commit merged changes to HEAD
|
|
||||||
cvs commit
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you then want to continue working further on the "my-branch" branch,
|
|
||||||
do the following
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# Switch working copy back to the "my-branch" branch
|
|
||||||
cvs update -r my-branch
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
and then when you want to merge some more changes back to HEAD:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# Ensure there are no not-yet-checked-in modifications in your tree)
|
|
||||||
cvs -q update
|
|
||||||
# Tag the merge point in the "my-branch" branch
|
|
||||||
cvs tag -c my-branch-merge-2
|
|
||||||
# Switch working copy back to HEAD
|
|
||||||
cvs update -A
|
|
||||||
# Merge changes from the branch
|
|
||||||
cvs update -j my-branch-merge-1 -j my-branch
|
|
||||||
# Commit merged changes to HEAD
|
|
||||||
cvs commit
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note that the format of the "merge changes from the branch" command has
|
|
||||||
changed, because this time you need to only merge changes since the last
|
|
||||||
merge point.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When you have finished with your branch and merged all the changes
|
|
||||||
back to HEAD, simply stop using the branch.
