Moving a module in cvs

[Rez P]

Hi All



Is it ok to move a project in the repository which was imported incorrectly and re-import it? The project stands entirely on its own and no other projects depend on it. Someone checkedin or imported the latest version 2 before they checked in version 1. Now I would like to delete the project from the server, import version 1, then copy version 2's working folder on top of version 1 and do a mass commit. Any feedback please.

I assume you meant to say *remove* a project -- yes, that's fine.

It would be better to import both versions (in order, of course),
followed by the usual checkout/merge:

<http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.23/cvs_13.html#SEC105>

That lets CVS figure out added and removed files automatically rather
than you having to do it manually.
