Invoking cvs update in Emacs

Invoking cvs update in Emacs

[Arturs Jurnieks]

Greetings,

I'm using a terminal-based Emacs (no GUI), and I'm wondering if
there's a way to invoke cvs update in Emacs? I'm able to commit using
Ctrl-x v v, but can't seem to find the keybindings for cvs update.

Would appreciate some advice on this. Thank you in advnace.

M-x cvs-update RET

,----[ C-h f cvs-update RET ]
| cvs-update is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `pcvs'.
| [Arg list not available until function definition is loaded.]
| 
| Run a `cvs update' in the current working DIRECTORY.
| Feed the output to a *cvs* buffer and run `cvs-mode' on it.
| With a prefix argument, prompt for a directory and cvs FLAGS to use.
| A prefix arg >8 (ex: C-u C-u),
|   prevents reuse of an existing *cvs* buffer.
`----

Generally M-x is quite powerful and useful for not-so-often used
commands, as you can simply type the (descriptive) function name...

Greetings,
Jochen

C-x v C-h shows you some other related bindings.  I agree with Jochen
that M-x cvs-update RET is cool, but there is also C-x v d which is
similar.  C-x v d also works with RCS, which is cool in another way
;-)

Danke. Will try the commands out.

Consider using PCL-CVS, which is now bundled with Emacs.

        M-x cvs-examine

and then enter the pathname of your WORKING COPY.  Read the info pages
to learn to use this cool interface.

What's more, there is a similar interface (not bundled) for 'svn', too!
