Gnus (www.gnus.org), GNU Emacs (www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) |
When I moved the texi files recently, I did it by:
mv foo.texi ../doc/emacs
cvs remove foo.texi
cvs commit -m "Move to ../doc/emacs" foo.texi
cd ../doc/emacs
cvs add foo.texi
cvs commit -m "Move here from ../../man" foo.texi
That's the standard, safe way to move files in CVS AFAIK.
For some reason, a lot of the resulting mails to the emacs-diff list
seem to show the changes being made at the top level, ie without a
directory part. Eg:
Subject: [Emacs-diffs] Changes to etags.1
Date: Thu, 06 Sep 2007 03:51:33 +0000
Index: etags.1
===================================================================
RCS file: etags.1
diff -N etags.1
Normally, there is a directory part:
Subject: [Emacs-diffs] Changes to emacs/etc/ChangeLog,v
Date: Thu, 06 Sep 2007 03:53:40 +0000
Index: ChangeLog
===================================================================
RCS file: /sources/emacs/emacs/etc/ChangeLog,v
Is this difference anything to worry about?
I notice that when Miles added lisp/termdev.el, there was a directory
part, albeit again different to how it normally appears (no leading
"emacs"):
Subject: [Emacs-diffs] Changes to lisp/termdev.el
Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2007 05:28:52 +0000
Index: lisp/termdev.el
===================================================================
RCS file: lisp/termdev.el
Is this all just some quirk of the script that mails the diffs?
