I'm using git-cvs, and my general workflow is something like this:
...write some code...
$ git commit
$ git cvsexportcommit -c -p -v <asdf>
$ git cvs-import $CVSROOT
$ git pull
This generally works fine for pushing my commits back to the CVS server and keeping things in sync. However, I'm…

My CVS-fu is not very strong anymore (after years of SVN'ing and now Mercurial'ing). I'm trying to do a diff between two revisions of the HEAD branch (everything is in the HEAD anyway).
I received an IDE already set up to use a :pserver:myname@cvsserver:port/cvs/project CVS. I'm on Windows XP. I…

Later, when I try to do an update, I get the following error message:
cannot rename file CVS/Entries.Extra.Backup to CVS/Entries.Extra: Bad address
Has anyone seen and resolved…

Its a good idea not to do too much work without checking something into source control. By too much work I mean typically on the order of a couple of hours at most, and certainly its a good practice to check in anything you have before you leave the office for the day. But what if your…

I had a boss, past-tense, who decided to put svn branches in the same folder as trunk. Normally, this wouldn't affect me that much but since I'm using git-svn things are going so well. After I did a fetch it created a folder for each branch in my root folder so I have three folders, drupal, trunk…

I've been working on code checked out from the development line and discovered that the changes made might be breaking changes and need to be moved to an experimental branch before committing to the main dev tree. However, I don't have the experimental branch checked out and I don't want to loose…

I have a piece of code with a) which I replaced with b) purely for legibility ...
a)
if ( WORD[ INDEX ] == 'A' ) branch = BRANCH.A;
/* B through to Y */
if ( WORD[ INDEX ] == 'Z' ) branch = BRANCH.Z;
b)
switch ( WORD[ INDEX ] ) {
case 'A' : branch = BRANCH.A; break;
/* B through to Y…

I've been doing some development on a branch and realized that before it could be complete something else need to be done first. I decided that I would branch my current branch and do the requiste changes in that branch then merge them back together and then merge my working branch into default. Basically…
