Re: Notes for CVS Converts

Dear diary, on Wed, Aug 31, 2005 at 09:08:36PM CEST, I got a letter
where Jon Loeliger [off-list ref] told me that...

Guys,

I was recently bitten by a cg-rm behavior where
it silently Did The Wrong Thing, IMO.  I think
that other CVS Converts might stumble across the
same pitfall, so it might warrant a comment in
the documentation, perhaps in the "Notes For CVS
Users" section.

Thanks for this, I changed the default to not deleting the files.

However, in my case I had already moved/removed the
original files.  The "find" didn't find them and the
cache update didn't happen.  And no output was generated
either.  But I thought nothing of it; after all, "rm"
doesn't produce output when it works successfully.

There was a bug like that, but I believe it was already fixed in the
release available by the time you were writing this mail.
