[M3devel] CVS polling related?

[Jay K]

bug was reported in 2006.
Presumably the fix is to not use CVS!

What bothers me about CVS:


1)
When there is a multi-file commit, there is no one link to follow to see the diffs.
Hudson helps.
But I want cvsweb to provide it.
This is usually naturally fixed by any system with atomic commit as they identity the multi-file commit with one identifiers.


2)
Everything is excruciatingly slow because everything goes to the network.
2a) I want cvs diff to not go to the network.
2b) I want a "cvs revert" command; what I frequently do is rename or delete my edits and then cvs upd to get the file back.
In Perforce this is just p4 revert ...


3) I don't want it dropping CVS directories in every single directory. Just at the top of the tree, or preferably
just one file or preferably in a parallel location; diffing two checkouts is made awful by this.
I believe subversion has the same bug.
Perforce does not.



More cvs oddity, like, it was missing everything, and printed lots of odd stuff:

I'll poke at that some.
I don't even see the workspace anywhere.
