Drupal CVS bash commands

I thought I'd share these Drupal CVS bash commands I regularly use when creating patches. You can simply copy paste them into your ~/.bash_aliases file. All commands are expected to be executed from a Drupal CVS checkout folder.
drupal_create_patch() {
cvs -q diff -uRp . | grep -v "^\?" > /home/jensen/Desktop/jsomers_$1_$2.patch
}
drupal_update() {
chmod u+w sites/default # Make folder writeable
cvs -q update -dPC # Perform update and restore from repository
chmod u-w sites/default
find . -name '.#*' | xargs rm -f # Remove backup files
}
alias dpupdate='drupal_update'
alias dppatch='drupal_create_patch'
cvs -q diff -uRp . | grep -v "^\?" > /home/jensen/Desktop/jsomers_$1_$2.patch
}
drupal_update() {
chmod u+w sites/default # Make folder writeable
cvs -q update -dPC # Perform update and restore from repository
chmod u-w sites/default
find . -name '.#*' | xargs rm -f # Remove backup files
}
alias dpupdate='drupal_update'
alias dppatch='drupal_create_patch'
The dpupdate command will make the sites/default folder writable, perform an update and restore locally changed files to the latest repository version, remove the write permission from the sites/default folder and remove any backup files created by the update command.
The dppatch command will create a patch. Modify it to your needs. When calling this command I specify 2 parameters, the first is usually the issue numbers and the second one is my patch number. Hence using the command
dppatch 1000 2
will create a file called jsomers_1000_2.patch and place it on my Desktop.
