Frequently Asked Questions about CVS and its use in TDDA14 AI Programming ========================================================================= Last updated by: Fredrik Heintz 2001-08-29 Q: How do I do X (where X can be add/remove/commit files etc.) A: Look at the quick reference card at http://www.cvshome.org/docs/ref.html Q: Which files should be stored in the CVS repository? A: Only files which are not generated during compilation. I.e. all .cc, .h, .icc, .am, .in files should go into the repository. Q: When should I commit my changes? A: If it's a common file then it should work. If it's a file under development (i.e. that is not used by the rest of the system) then it's enough if it compiles. Q: Where can I read about version control using CVS? A: At http://www.cvshome.org/docs/version.html Q: Where can I find the CVS manual? A: At http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/ Q: How do I change the editor that is used to make comments? A: By setting the environment variable CVSEDITOR to the path of your favourite editor.
