[cvsnt] opposite of 'cvs export'?

[Aaron Kynaston]

Yea, that's the second option, but because of the amount of source code,
it would be easier for him to simply be able to do a 

cvs -n update

in each of the directories.  Your option here, is what I've used a lot,
and have suggested it to him, but it looks like that might not be an
option. . .

Now that I think about it, I suppose I could check them out to a
location, and simply give him some zips containing all the CVS dirs.

Thanks for the info.

Still, I'd love to see an opposite export command.

Could they check out to a different folder and copy their modified
files
over?

I'd recommend a meticulous code review with a visual difference tool
before
checking in, though.

Hey all, I've run in to an interesting situation.

I have developers who have imported all of their local source code
(cvs
import'ed), and wonder why their code isn't 'connected' to cvs.

They forgot that they have to 'cvs co' to create their sandboxes and
get a
version that CVS can handle.

I would very much like the ability to generate from CVS **ONLY** the
CVS
directories . . like exactly the opposite of a 'cvs export'.  That
way,
they'd simply be able to move the directory structure of CVS dirs on
top
of their local directories, and then do a cvs up to continue to ensure
that no files were ignored ect.

Any one have an idea?
