An important detail: "cvs up -dP" updates your pkgsrc but stays on the
branch you're currently on (-HEAD, -2006Q1, or any other). Use -A to
move to pkgsrc-HEAD, and -rpkgsrc-2006Q1 to move to pkgsrc-2006Q1.
Oops, that confused a bit.
"cvs up -dP" updates but **stays on the branch I am currently on**? As
in? What determines which branch I am currently on? I thought by
default I am on -HEAD, and if I want to move to any other branch I use
-rpkgsrc-2006Q1 (for 2006Q1 for instance).
I just checked the CVS(1) manpage. Its a 40 page beast (printed)! Is
there any shorter introductory document that you are aware of? I am
sure the manpage is good, but for starters I'd like something shorter,
and then read the manpage once I get a hang of CVS and its many
applications.
Thanks,
