DESCRIPTION
The
cvs\-switchroot
utility manipulates a CVS working copy directly,
modifying the information stored in the administrative
subdirectory and saving space by hardlinking if possible.
If the
-T
option is given, the sticky tag is operated on,
otherwise, the repository path
(CVSROOT
)
The information (Tag or Root) is set to the same as in
srcpath
if the first non-option argument
newroot
is a sole dash
(`-'
)
the literal value
newroot
otherwise.
EXAMPLES
Change all
Root
information in the current sandbox to
/cvs
$ cvs-switchroot /cvs .
Set all roots in the current working directory and all
its subdirectories to the
Root
of the parent directory:
$ cvs-switchroot - .. .
Hardlink the
Tag
information in the current working directory, for example
/usr/src
and
/usr/ports
with each other:
$ cvs-switchroot -T - . . /usr/ports
