[cvsnt] opposite of 'cvs export'?

Wed Apr 2 21:18:33 BST 2003

What version of cvs is this for?

I've got cvsnt:

C:\>cvs version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.0rc3 (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)

and import help returns:

Usage: cvs import [-d] [-k subst] [-I ign] [-m msg] [-b branch]
    [-W spec] repository vendor-tag release-tags...
        -d      Use the file's modification time as the time of
import.
        -k sub  Set default RCS keyword substitution mode.
        -I ign  More files to ignore (! to reset).
        -b bra  Vendor branch id.
        -m msg  Log message.
        -W spec Wrappers specification line.
(Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)

There is a -C option for the import command that creates the sandbox:

cvs -H import
Usage: cvs import [-C] [-d] [-k subst] [-I ign] [-m msg] [-b branch]
    [-W spec] repository vendor-tag release-tags...
        -C      Create CVS directories while importing.
        ...(snip)

Best Regards,
Jerzy
