The info should also be available from the emacs-diff and commit lists, I think. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2007-03/index.html suggests about 60 changes occurred in the time between the last backup and the crash. So if necessary we could just put all the missing changes back in by hand. But I guess we should see what the situation is when savannah comes back. This will be a general problem, and hopefully the savannah people will have suggestions about how best to recover. > But what happens if the repository must be restored from > an older backup and I then perform a cvs update? > > To cvs, it will probably look like the newest commits have > been forcefully deleted. > > So will cvs just mark files with never changes as modified here, > revert those changes, or get confused in some other way?? Don't know. I think it would be very advisable to refrain from making commits until this is sorted out.
