CVS Pocket Reference 2nd Edition
The CVS Pocket Reference is a quick reference guide to help administrators and users set up and manage source code development. This small book delivers the core concepts of version control along with a complete command reference and guide to configuration and repository set up. The book includes:
A version control primer that teaches the
general concepts of version control and how it applies to CVS.
Instructions on how to install and configure CVS for Unix-like operating systems.
Administrator and user sections, with complete listings of their respective commands and options for configuring and using CVS.
Details on how to import files from RCS and SCCS directories into CVS.
References to related useful materials.
Much more than a quick list of commands and options, this little book is packed with a surprising amount of detail--including an overview of background concepts, thorough descriptions on how to use and administer a CVS repository, and discussions of CVS-related files and how to manage them--all in a convenient reference format. This edition covers the CVS 1.11 and includes new commands for querying a central CVS repository, new configuration parameters, and new options for setting up a server for remote access. The book is a perfect companion for open source developers. The CVS Pocket Reference also contains tips on common tasks, such as converting projects from other revision control formats to CVS. It's an absolute must for developers who need an on-the-job guide for quick answers to CVS dilemmas.
