Adding / Editing / Committing / Updating

Bring your copy of a module up to date:

$ cvs update
Update will compare files in a checked out module with their counterparts in the repository. All files examined will be shown with a one letter code preceeding them.
  • U - update - the file changed in the repository but not in your checkout. Your checkout has been updated
  • M - merge - your checked out file has changed, but it can be merged into the repository copy with no errors
  • C - conflict - your checked out file has changed and CANNOT be merged into the repository.
  • ? - unknown - this file is not under the control of CVS and was ignored.
