NAME
cvn - a unified wrapper around cvs and svn
SYNOPSIS
cvn [cvs|svn command here]
DESCRIPTION
cvn at its simplest provides a way to automatically invoke either the svn of cvs binary, depending on whether the current working directory is held under CVS or Subversion.
It also simulates some commands in the cases (eg cvs doesn't support st or offline diffing) where one of the apps is deficient (where possible)
Notes on simulated commands
st
simulated under CVS by comparing the server-modified date in CVS/Entries with the mtime of the file(s)
get_texts
keep texts in CVS/text_$file_$rev - used for offline diffing
up
extended for CVS to invoke get_texts automatically
diff
extended for CVS to attempt to use the locally cached text(s)
revert
extended for CVS to attempt to use the locally cached text(s)
rgrep
simulated in both. similar to rgrep(1), but deliberately ignores files in .svn and CVS directories.
version
simulated in both to return the version of the cvn binary
TODO
have rgrep honour svnignore property (currently it just excludes things inside .svn dirs for subversion)
improve parameter parsing
improve documentation
be a little more paranoid about invoking commands
CAVEATS
rgrep invokes grep with the -H option, which may not be supported by your native version of grep
