<body class='hmmessage'>I swear I looked for this on the web, several times. :)<BR>
<BR>What is the right/fast way to see what I have changed in cvs?<BR>
<BR>Is it really to go to the top of the tree and say cvs diff?<BR>
<BR>Some source control system I have used, makes "checked in" files<BR>read only, requires you to "check out", and keeps track of what<BR>you checked out.<BR>This model seems quite nice.<BR>There is a fallback if the network is needed and not available.<BR>It is a little annoying, the inevitable failed save, but it is well worth it.<BR>
<BR>I've been doing cvs diff but it seem terribly inefficient.<BR>
<BR>Same question for Subversion, though I haven't looked.<BR>It at least seems to rapidly know what I have changed, on my puny tree,<BR>and I know it also saves away all the originals, so diff is a client only operation.<BR>
<BR>Oh another question -- how to view history?<BR>Like, what i keep doing is navigating to individual files on the web.<BR>It's fairly tedious.<BR>It'd be nice if checkins at right about the same time, with the same comment,<BR>where packaged up in the ui, like Perforce (well, for it, it is just one change)....<BR>I usually look at the diffs after commit, besides before.<BR>
