CVS Question

I'm not real good with CVS stuff, but let me get this straight if i have a edited source, and i download the cvs into the directory i have the source in, will it edit the files or overwrite?

It's tedious, yes I know. But sometimes it is well worth it to help prevent something dangerious from happening to your version.

You want to be really careful if you've deviated from the Torque CVS in any major way however. I highly recommend keeping Torque's codebase, and your codebase in seperate directories and using a tool to merge by hand.It's tedious, yes I know.

I concur with Robert on managing your game source.

What if i were to make a backup, then cvs update and if it messes up, just delete and restore it

Then you would be back to where you were when you did your back up. This is one way of dealing with the problem.
