-jHEAD:yesterday

[Tony Mantler]

I would like to do something that I think CVS should be able to do, but the
method has so far escaped me.

basically I type...

cvs update -jHEAD -jHEAD:yesterday

...to try to merge changes in the main branch between yesterday and today
in reverse chronological order.

Instead, it simply schedules all my files for removal... Huh?

Can someone out there explain to me exactly...

A: Why CVS thinks I want to delete all my files

and

B: How I can convince CVS that no, I don't want to delete all my files? And
no, 'cvs diff -uN -rHEAD -Dyesterday | patch -p0' isn't a very good answer.


Thanks.


Cheers - Tony 'Nicoya' Mantler :)
