update and checkout keep you informed of
their progress by printing a line for each file, preceded
by one character indicating the status of the file:
U file
-
The file was brought up to date with respect to the
repository. This is done for any file that exists in
the repository but not in your source, and for files
that you haven't changed but are not the most recent
versions available in the repository.
P file
-
Like `U', but the CVS server sends a patch
instead of an entire file. These two things accomplish
the same thing.
A file
-
The file has been added to your private copy of the
sources, and will be added to the source repository
when you run
commit on the file. This is a
reminder to you that the file needs to be committed.
R file
-
The file has been removed from your private copy of the
sources, and will be removed from the source repository
when you run
commit on the file. This is a
reminder to you that the file needs to be committed.
M file
-
The file is modified in your working directory.
`M' can indicate one of two states for a file
you're working on: either there were no modifications
to the same file in the repository, so that your file
remains as you last saw it; or there were modifications
in the repository as well as in your copy, but they
were merged successfully, without conflict, in your
working directory.
CVS will print some messages if it merges your work,
and a backup copy of your working file (as it looked
before you ran
update) will be made. The exact
name of that file is printed while update runs.
C file
-
A conflict was detected while trying to merge your
changes to file with changes from the source
repository. file (the copy in your working
directory) is now the result of attempting to merge
the two revisions; an unmodified copy of your file
is also in your working directory, with the name
`.#file.revision' where revision
is the revision that your modified file started
from. Resolve the conflict as described in
section Conflicts example.
(Note that some systems automatically purge
files that begin with `.#' if they have not been
accessed for a few days. If you intend to keep a copy
of your original file, it is a very good idea to rename
it.) Under VMS, the file name starts with
`__' rather than `.#'.
? file
-
file is in your working directory, but does not
correspond to anything in the source repository, and is
not in the list of files for CVS to ignore (see the
description of the `-I' option, and
see section Ignoring files via cvsignore).
