[NCLUG] cvs question

[mike cullerton]

hey folks,

 i don't know much about cvs. i have the Per Cederqvist manual in pdf and am
trying to change the directory structure of an existing repository. i
believe i have that working. that is, if you check out the latest version,
you get what i want.

 the trouble is that when i try to  update one that already existed, the new
directories and files don't show up.

i had two set of code checked out. both were updated to the most recent code
and looked like this

 modules/story.inc
 modules/image.inc

in one of them, i changed things to look like this.

 modules/story/story.inc
 modules/image/image.inc

then added, removed and committed in cvs. that set of code and the
repository are now the same, and they have the new directory structure i
want. if you check out code from the repository, this is what you get.

however, when i update the other set of code that was already checked out
before the change, the new files and directories don't show up. a cvs diff
thinks everything there is up to date.

should cvs create the new directories? do i need to? what cool cvs commands
don't i know about that would help me here  :)

thanks,
mike

hmmm, a presentation on how to make cvs jump thru hoops would be a nice
nclug meeting...
