Adding new files to CVS without write access
April 26, 2009 - 9:47pm — jensen
In my previous post I talked about some useful Drupal CVS aliases. During the Core patch review sprint this weekend! I noticed a problem with it: adding new files.
Normally new files are added to CVS using the command:
cvs add
The problem is that this command fails without write access to the repository. Luckely there is a handy little tool called fakeadd which you can use to edit the CVS entries file and let it look like the new files have been added to the repository. The patch creation function also changes by adding the -N option.
drupal_create_patch() {
cvs -q diff -uNRp . | grep -v "^\?" > /home/jensen/Desktop/jsomers_$1_$2.patch
}
cvs -q diff -uNRp . | grep -v "^\?" > /home/jensen/Desktop/jsomers_$1_$2.patch
}
