[Collections] CVS question

["Jack, Paul" <pj...@sfaf.org>]

I want to rename SimpleObjectFactory to Factory.  How should I handle
that in CVS?  There a number of different approaches, what's the "best
practice?"

Another approach is to edit the repository at
/home/cvs/jakarta-commons/collections directly.  Note that this is
dangerous; never delete or rename directories or files which exist in
more than one branch or tag.  Also be sure that the unix permissions
are still set appropriately afterwards.  Unless all of this gives you
warm fuzzies, I don't recommend doing it.  ;-)

I think this is pretty obvious, but:

Add a comment for the add/delete saying that the file moved from
Factory.java to SimpleObjectFactory.java

The best approach is to (in your repository) delete the old one and add
the new one.  That leaves an audit trail in the attic:

  mv SimpleObjectFactory.java Factory.java
  cvs delete SimpleObjectFactory.java
  cvs add Factory.java
  cvs commit

The only place this doesn't work well with CVS is on directories -- there
isn't really a way to delete them.  That's why the usual directions for
checkout are to use "cvs update -dP" so empty directories get pruned for
you.
