A.16.1 update options
These standard options are available with update
( A.5 Common command options, for a complete description of
them):
-D date
- Use the most recent revision no later than date.
This option is sticky, and implies `-P'.
See 4.9 Sticky tags, for more information on sticky tags/dates.
-f
- Only useful with the `-D date' or `-r
tag' flags. If no matching revision is found,
retrieve the most recent revision (instead of ignoring
the file).
-k kflag
- Process keywords according to kflag. See
12. Keyword substitution.
This option is sticky; future updates of
this file in this working directory will use the same
kflag. The
status command can be viewed
to see the sticky options. See B. Quick reference to CVS commands, for
more information on the status command.
-l
- Local; run only in current working directory. 6. Recursive behavior.
-P
- Prune empty directories. See 7.5 Verzeichnisse verschieben und umbenennen.
-p
- Pipe files to the standard output.
-R
- Update directories recursively (default). 6. Recursive behavior.
-r rev
- Retrieve revision/tag rev. This option is sticky,
and implies `-P'.
See 4.9 Sticky tags, for more information on sticky tags/dates.
These special options are also available with
update.
-A
- Reset any sticky tags, dates, or `-k' options.
See 4.9 Sticky tags, for more information on sticky tags/dates.
-C
- Overwrite locally modified files with clean copies from
the repository (the modified file is saved in
`.#file.revision', however).
-d
- Create any directories that exist in the repository if
they're missing from the working directory. Normally,
update acts only on directories and files that
were already enrolled in your working directory.
This is useful for updating directories that were
created in the repository since the initial checkout;
but it has an unfortunate side effect. If you
deliberately avoided certain directories in the
repository when you created your working directory
(either through use of a module name or by listing
explicitly the files and directories you wanted on the
command line), then updating with `-d' will create
those directories, which may not be what you want.
-I name
- Ignore files whose names match name (in your
working directory) during the update. You can specify
`-I' more than once on the command line to specify
several files to ignore. Use `-I !' to avoid
ignoring any files at all. C.9 Ignoring files via cvsignore, for other
ways to make CVS ignore some files.
-Wspec
- Specify file names that should be filtered during
update. You can use this option repeatedly.
spec can be a file name pattern of the same type
that you can specify in the `.cvswrappers'
file. C.2 The cvswrappers file.
-jrevision
- With two `-j' options, merge changes from the
revision specified with the first `-j' option to
the revision specified with the second `j' option,
into the working directory.
With one `-j' option, merge changes from the
ancestor revision to the revision specified with the
`-j' option, into the working directory. The
ancestor revision is the common ancestor of the
revision which the working directory is based on, and
the revision specified in the `-j' option.
In addition, each `-j' option can contain an optional
date specification which, when used with branches, can
limit the chosen revision to one within a specific
date. An optional date is specified by adding a colon
(:) to the tag:
`-jSymbolic_Tag:Date_Specifier'.
