Subject: RE: [cvsnt] History file
Good question . .that might be a Tony Hoyle question . I think he's the
cvsnt guy, and might know an awsner.
You can generate reports:
C:\>cvs history --help
history: invalid option -- -
Usage: cvs history [-report] [-flags] [-options args] [files...]
Reports:
-T Produce report on all TAGs
-c Committed (Modified) files
-o Checked out modules
-m <module> Look for specified module (repeatable)
-x [TOEFWUCGMAR] Extract by record type
-e Everything (same as -x, but all record types)
Flags:
-a All users (Default is self)
-l Last modified (committed or modified report)
-w Working directory must match
Options:
-D <date> Since date (Many formats)
-b <str> Back to record with str in module/file/repos
field
-f <file> Specified file (same as command line)
(repeatable)
-n <modulename> In module (repeatable)
-p <repos> In repository (repeatable)
-r <rev/tag> Since rev or tag (looks inside RCS files!)
-t <tag> Since tag record placed in history file (by
anyone).
-u <user> For user name (repeatable)
-z <tz> Output for time zone <tz> (e.g. -z -0700)
C:\>
But . .to not let those events go in in the first place . . .that
might require nothing short of a pile of scripts to remove every line
that doesn't start with a commit command . .(don't know what it is off
hand.)
When you get your awsner though, would you mind posting it back on the
list?

Any way to just knock certain actions out? We are interested in
commits, for example, but not in checkouts...

Yes - The history file contains every action that was taken on the
repository- each line records the action, the user, a time stamp, and
some other data.
1. Delete the history file (this will disable history logging)
2. Periodically copy off the file (if you care about the data), and
touch a new history file - 'touch history'.
Option #2 is how I 'prune' my history file. If you're not interested
in the history, you might as well delete it, CVS will simply stop
logging it.

My CVSROOT/history file has grown from 11 MB to 390 MB in the last 9
days... I've had a script running against cvs during that time...
What
is all logged in the history file, and is there a way to prune it?
