Re: address@hidden: Re: cvs add `find ./`]

[Derek R. Price]

It will still return an error code of '1' in both cases.  I was thinking about
creating differing error levels for fatal and non-fatal errors, but I thought 
this
would require more discussion before adding to the CVS API.  I was also 
thinking of
abolishing the error codes in add's non-fatal case altogether.  This would 
match the
behavior of 'cvs remove' (short of the additional warning message) but I wasn't 
sure
whether this would have any far-reaching repercussions which would be better
avoided.

Comments?
