Man, what an experience with Cygwin CVS on XP I had today. Ok, so let’s say we wanna import in directory homies whose parent is rapper. For nothin’ less than a few hours I only managed to figure out that I had to dive into homies and then run cvs import homies wehjongue startdis, enter a few comments into notepad.exe or vim, then cd .. up one level to rapper. (So what we doin’ is we tell ‘em CVS that we wanna all dis stuff in the homies folder to be tracked with versioning changes. So when we say, cvs import homies wehjongue startdis, we’re saying: “CVS, use your own way to get ready to create a directory in the master CVS directory (known as CVSROOT), a directory called homies“. wehjongue is the name of the person who is creating this directory, and the startdis part, well, I’m still trying to figure it out :P)

yeah.

So we r in da rapper directory and then yo checkitout then we type in cvs checkout homies to kree-ate da workin’ directory, namely homies. Heck. What der heck mann. Took me a while to figure it out. Yeah. Music plays on da HOUSE! Yeah. Thing works fine. Thing checks out fine, too.

Now I really had a problem with the CVSROOT environment variable because I set it to C:\cygwin\usr\local\cvsroot, & CVS in Cygwin isn’t smart enough to translate NT-style paths to UN*X paths. On da command line SET CVSROOT=... don’t work, and ENV CVSROOT=... don’t work, so I gotta call da Windows Explorer and set it there. Yo, checkitout onleh wit CVSROOT set to /usr/local/cvsroot in the Windows Explorer User Variables section does the thing fly.

Wassup! (Yeesh, too much of the MTV funk dance competition show last night… Bo!)
