- Change to the experiment's directory
cd <exp_dir>
- Put all files into the CVS repository
cvs import -m "<comment>" <name> <vendor_tag> <release_tag>
All arguments are required. A comment should be given as <comment>.
<name> specifies the name under which all files in <exp_dir> are
stored in the CVS repository (which is $CVSROOT/<name>).
<vendor_tag> and <release_tag> are required but are of
no meaning in the current context, so they
may be set arbitrarily. For example, the above statement might look like
this
cvs import -m "imported sources" my_experiment exp start
- Verify that everything went fine and use the directory under CVS control to perform
your experiments:
cd ..
mv <exp_dir> <exp_dir>.orig
Get a local copy of the just imported files
cvs checkout <name>
This should produce a new directory <name> containing identical copies of all
source files in <exp_dir>.orig.
Verify that both directories are really the same
diff -f <exp_dir>.orig <name>
If no output was produced by the last command you can safely remove the original
directory
rm -rf <exp_dir>.orig
Now <name> contains a valid version of your experiment,
which is under CVS control. Use this from now on.
