Re: Convenient way to commit?

[Hans Schwaebli]

I can avoid find method and Cygwin by using Ant's fileset. It worked, but I ran in other problems and aborted this approach. I think it could not handle deleted files when committing. Anyway, you tell me there is no high level access to this and not even a third party command somwhere on the net extending CVS (like the third party stuff for Ant). So I give up and continue using the zip file which blows up at 2 GB every month or so. Its okay. Now I know I didn't overlook some possible easy and productive solution for this in the CVS context.
