Re: Why only files are checked out and not the directories?

[Zsolt Koppany]

Thank you Mark,

but rlog will be recursive and I work on a large repository, thus this 
command would read the history of the entire repository (below the path) and 
would be very slow.

cvs rlog -R dir | xargs -n 1 dirname | sort -u

Enjoy!

Here is the example output:

Here was the setup...

% export CVSROOT=:ext:remote-host/tmp/mdb.repos
% cvs init
% cvs co -d top .
% mkdir dir && cvs add dir && cd dir
% mkdir sd1 sd2 && cvs add sd1 sd2
% touch readme sd1/{1,2}.c sd2/{a,b}.c
% cvs add readme sd1/{1,2}.c sd2/{a,b}.c

Here is how to get a listing... (assuming a bourne shell of some kind,
tcsh or csh is possible, but slightly different).

% prefix=`cvs -n rlog -R CVSROOT/modules | sed s:CVSROOT/modules,v::`
% echo $prefix
/tmp/mdb.repos/
%

The prefix is using a known file in the repsitory to understand what is
in the beginning of each RCS filename.


% cvs -Qn rlog -R dir
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/readme,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd1/1.c,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd1/2.c,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd2/a.c,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd2/b.c,v
% cvs -Qn rlog -R dir | xargs -n 1 dirname
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd1
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd1
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd2
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd2
% cvs -Qn rlog -R dir | xargs -n 1 dirname | sort -u
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd1
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd2
% cvs -Qn rlog -R dir | xargs -n 1 dirname | sort -u | sed "s,^$prefix,,"
dir
dir/sd1
dir/sd2
%

Just so you can see what is in the entire repository...

% cvs -Qn rlog -R .
/tmp/mdb.repos/CVSROOT/checkoutlist,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/CVSROOT/commitinfo,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/CVSROOT/config,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/CVSROOT/cvswrappers,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/CVSROOT/editinfo,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/CVSROOT/loginfo,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/CVSROOT/modules,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/CVSROOT/notify,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/CVSROOT/rcsinfo,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/CVSROOT/taginfo,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/CVSROOT/verifymsg,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/readme,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd1/1.c,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd1/2.c,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd2/a.c,v
/tmp/mdb.repos/dir/sd2/b.c,v
% cvs -v
