I find this one a bit confusing; the directory you're in at the time is the one that gets imported, not the directory under it that you name in the import command.
cvs -d:ext:jcg_sturdy@emacs-versor.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/emacs-versor co emacs-versor
May later need something like
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.emacs-versor.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/emacs-versor co emacs-versor
This seems to work OK:
cd /home/john/open-projects/emacs-versorcvs -d:ext:jcg_sturdy@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/emacs-versor checkout lisp
then had trouble with
cvs -d:ext:jcg_sturdy@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/emacs-versor add lisp/LICENSE.TXT
and with
cvs -d:ext:jcg_sturdy@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/emacs-versor diff lisp/versor.el
as it said "ssh: connect to host cvs.sf.net port 22: Connection refused"
However, retrying the checkout command (above), exactly as before, did just this also
That seemed to be a server problem; trying again later, I then got
cvs [add aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first
It appears you have to do the add from the directory containing the file.
cvs -d:ext:jcg_sturdy@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/emacs-versor commit -m "New file, containing GPL" LICENSE.TXT
is what actually worked, without throwing me into vi
import seems to be the way to create directories, but I have also seen it add things that I didn't expect. Perhaps I ran it from the wrong place.
