The patch is not written by me, I only found it useful. Here's the information text: This patch adds an switch called '-i' to the CVS command `add'. The switch will ignore any server replies so it will be possible to add files without having read-write access to the repository. This is mostly useful when running `cvs diff' after having created a bunch of new files. I will update this so that it will be possible to use `cvs remove' in a similar manner. The patch can be found at http://www.update.uu.se/~ams/home/patches/cvs-ignore_server.diff Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Would be IMHO better to take this upstream...
that symlink is gone. check out the cvsutils package for the same functionality.
