These standard options are available with update
(see section A.5 Common command options, for a complete description of
them):
-D date
-f
-k kflag
status
command can be viewed
to see the sticky options. See B. Quick reference to CVS commands, for
more information on the status
command.
-l
-P
-p
-R
-r rev
These special options are also available with
update
.
-A
-C
-d
update
acts only on directories and files that
were already enrolled in your working directory.
This is useful for updating directories that were created in the repository since the initial checkout; but it has an unfortunate side effect. If you deliberately avoided certain directories in the repository when you created your working directory (either through use of a module name or by listing explicitly the files and directories you wanted on the command line), then updating with `-d' will create those directories, which may not be what you want.
-I name
-Wspec
spec can be a file name pattern of the same type that you can specify in the `.cvswrappers' file. See section C.2 The cvswrappers file.
-jrevision
With one `-j' option, merge changes from the ancestor revision to the revision specified with the `-j' option, into the working directory. The ancestor revision is the common ancestor of the revision which the working directory is based on, and the revision specified in the `-j' option.
Note that using a single `-j tagname' option rather than `-j branchname' to merge changes from a branch will often not remove files which were removed on the branch. See section 5.9 Merging can add or remove files, for more.
In addition, each `-j' option can contain an optional date specification which, when used with branches, can limit the chosen revision to one within a specific date. An optional date is specified by adding a colon (:) to the tag: `-jSymbolic_Tag:Date_Specifier'.
See section 5. Branching and merging.
