6.4.10Renaming Files within a Project
There is no direct method of renaming files within the CVS repository. In order to rename
a file, you must remove the old name and add in the new one. Here is an example of renaming a
file from
oldfile
to
newfile
.
# cvs status oldfile
============================================================
File: oldfile Status: Up-to-date
Working revision: 1.1
Repository revision: 1.1 /usr/local/cvsroot/fuzion/
oldfile,v
Sticky Tag: (none)
Sticky Date: (none)
Sticky Options: (none)
# mv oldfile newfile
# cvs remove oldfile
cvs server: scheduling `oldfile' for removal
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to remove this file permanently
# cvs add newfile
cvs server: scheduling file `newfile' for addition
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently
# cvs commit -m "Ren oldfile newfile" oldfile newfile
Removing oldfile;
/usr/local/cvsroot/fuzion/oldfile,v <-- oldfile
new revision: delete; previous revision: 1.1
done
RCS file: /usr/local/cvsroot/fuzion/newfile,v
done
Checking in newfile;
/usr/local/cvsroot/fuzion/newfile,v <-- newfile
initial revision: 1.1
done
