cvsutils - General Utilities For Use With CVS
=============================================

Depends on: Perl

Authors: Tom Tromey (original author) and Pavel Roskin (current
maintainer)

The suite of small programs called `cvsutils' generally (although not
always) performs "offline" operations in the CVS working copy.  Offline
operations are those that can be done without contacting the
repository, while still leaving the working copy in a consistent state
for the next time the repository is contacted.  Offline behavior can be
extremely handy when your network connection to the repository is slow
or unreliable.

The cvsutils programs are listed below in approximate order of
usefulness (according to my opinion), with the more useful ones coming
first.  Coincidentally, this also arranges them by safety.  Safety is an
issue because some of these utilities can, in their normal course of
operation, cause you to lose local modifications or files from your
working copy.  Therefore, read the descriptions carefully before using
these utilities.

This documentation is accurate as of Version 0.1.4.  Be sure to read the
README file in any later versions for more up-to-date information.
