6.1. File status
After you have checked out a file out from cvs, it is in
one of these four states:
- Up-to-date
- The file is identical with the latest revision in the
repository.
- Locally modified
- You have edited the file, and not yet committed your changes.
- Needing update
- Someone else has committed a newer revision to the repository.
- Needing merge
- Someone else have committed a newer revision to the repository, and you
have also made modifications to the file.
You can use the status command to find out the status of a given
file. See status.
