cvs-switchroot

CVS-SWITCHROOT(1)					    BSD General Commands Manual 					 CVS-SWITCHROOT(1)

NAME

     cvs-switchroot -- change repository or tag in a cvs working copy

SYNOPSIS

     cvs-switchroot [-T] newroot [file ...]

     cvs-switchroot [-T] - srcpath [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The cvs-switchroot utility manipulates a CVS working copy directly, modifying the information stored in the administrative subdirectory and
     saving space by hardlinking if possible.

     If the -T option is given, the sticky tag is operated on, otherwise, the repository path (CVSROOT).

     The information (Tag or Root) is set to the same as in srcpath if the first non-option argument newroot is a sole dash ('-'), the literal
     value newroot otherwise.

EXAMPLES

     Change all Root information in the current sandbox to /cvs:

	  $ cvs-switchroot /cvs .

     Set all roots in the current working directory and all its subdirectories to the Root of the parent directory:

	  $ cvs-switchroot - .. .

     Hardlink the Tag information in the current working directory, for example /usr/src, and /usr/ports with each other:

	  $ cvs-switchroot -T - . . /usr/ports

SEE ALSO

     cvs(1)

HISTORY

     cvs-switchroot has existed in the MirBSD source tree since 2005.  It was added to Debian's cvs package in 2011.

CAVEATS

     cvs-switchroot depends on mksh.
