Cvs: working revision vs repository revision?

The working revision is just the revision you are currently using. The repository revision is the revision currently in the repository basically, if the repository revision is larger than your working revision someone has committed changes to that file, and perhaps you should update your version, or you may end up with a conflict if you try to commit your own changes at a later time.

Right. But why would anyone still have to use CVS nowadays? – ddaa Nov 19 '08 at 22:16 1 there are many sad things in life :( – Owen Nov 19 '08 at 22:17 Granted, vanilla CVS sucks but being a CVSNT user I have yet to find a compelling enough reason to switch to anything else.

Thanks, that makes sense... except: Say I have a file A. Java, latest revision is 1.10. I do a cvs up -r1.9 A.java. Cvs status shows both working and repository revision to be 1.9... What's going on?

Cvs up -r1.9 means you're updating your files to release 1.9, so the repository version would be the version in release 1.9. (ie not 1.10, as that exists in -r1.10 I would assume) – Owen Nov 21 '08 at 9:04 1 so you need to do an cvs update -A to get the latest and greatest and clear your 1.9 tag – Sally Jan 23 '09 at 20:17.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
