 2           WORKING IN YOUR SANDBOX:
 3           ------------------------
 4           
 5           * You cd and edit files in your sandbox as appropriate. When you want to 
 6           commit your changes to the repository do:
 7           
 8           > cvs commit [file] 
 9           > [sync_binary_dirtree.sh] (Obsolete)
10           
11           It is only necessary to run sync_binary_dirtree.sh if the binary 
12           repository has been updated or new dirs have been added to the source tree.
13           
14           You will be asked for any change notes. 
15           
16           * To resynchronize your sandbox with the repository do:
17           
18           > cvs update -d
19           
20           (the -d will download new directories as well)
21           See the cvs man page for all switches and options.
22 arta  1.1 
23           * To add a file to the repository, first create the file in your sandbox and 
24           then do from the dir containing the file:
25           
26           > cvs add filename
27           > cvs commit
28           
29           If you're adding a binary file, use the -kb option:
30           > cvs add -kb file.doc
31           
32           If you forgot to use the -kb at add time, you can later do:
33           > cvs admin -kb file.doc
34           
35           * To remove a file from the repository, first remove the file in your
36           sandbox and then do from the dir containing the file:
37           
38           > cvs remove filename
39           > cvs commit
40           
41           
42           * To determine which files are up-to-date and which need to be committed:
43 arta  1.1 
44           > cvs status [file]
45           > cvs status -v [file]	(see status and tagging info)
46           
47           * To see the revision history of a file:
48           
49           > cvs log sum_svc.c
50           
51           * To retrieve a static, read only copy of a previous version:
52           
53           > cvs update -r 1.2 filename
54           
55           * To revert your sandbox file to a previous revision:
56           
57           > cvs update -j sandbox_revision -j previous_revision
58
