Re: how to commit without update

[Dennis Jones]

I assume you want to do this because the files in the repository are somehow incorrect (I hope)?  But at the risk of telling you how to do something you probably shouldn't do, here's how you can accomplish it:

 

1) Make copies of your local files first.  Put them somewhere so they won't be affected by an update.

2) Now do an update (so CVS won't complain when you try to commit).

3) Copy your saved files on top of the updated ones.

4) Commit.

 

This will result in the current repository files getting overwritten (instead of merged) by your version of those same files.

Subject: how to commit without update

Hello,

 

Is there a possibility to commit my Files without updating before. ( I want to commit the files as they are in my working folder. they shouldn't be merged with the ones on the Repository !)

 

Thanks for your help !
