HEAD file question

by Dale Cannon · in General Discussion · 07/14/2003 (6:07 pm) · 1 replies

I was looking through the Head files and noticed some files that looked like this eg. .#player.cc.1.24 - .#player.cc.1.28. Now I assume these are just revisions of the file, but the actual player.cc file seems to be unmodified like it is in v 1.1.2. Now are we supposed to delete the current player.cc and use the .#player.cc.1.28 file? without the extra characters ofcourse.

That's cvs' way of keeping track of local file changes.

That way, you have a LOCAL copy of earlier versions of the file, so if you had made changes, then the GG update blew those changes away, you could delete player.cc and rename #player.cc.version.number to player.cc and "roll back" to an earlier version of your LOCAL code :)
