Subject: How about a CVS interaction package in tcllib? - DN [1]

Mo <mo@nospam.com> - 17 Mar 2000 - comp.lang.tcl

 I was just thinking that a really handy thing to have in tcllib
 would be an Tcl level interface to CVS. Things like adding and
 updating files would be easy.

 CVS:add $files
 CVS::update $files

 But it would be really cool to add and interface that would allow
 you to interact with "meta" info in the CVS. It would be really
 cool to be able to get access to things like revisions on branches
 and do diffs by date with Tcl commands.

 set branches [CVS::getbranches]

 set head [CVS::getbranch HEAD]

 foreach rev [CVS::getrevisions $head] {
   puts "revision \"$rev\", made on [CVS::getrevdate $rev]"
   puts "revision log is as follows"
   puts [CVS::getrevlog $rev]
 }

 Any comments?
