Almost all of the subcommands of CVS work recursively when you specify a directory as an argument. For instance, consider this directory structure:
|
If `tc' is the current working directory, the following is true:
cvs update testing/testpgm.t testing/test2.t |
tc directory
If no arguments are given to update it will
update all files in the current working directory and
all its subdirectories. In other words, `.' is a
default argument to update. This is also true
for most of the CVS subcommands, not only the
update command.
The recursive behavior of the CVS subcommands can be turned off with the `-l' option. Conversely, the `-R' option can be used to force recursion if `-l' is specified in `~/.cvsrc' (see section Default options and the ~/.cvsrc file).
$ cvs update -l # Don't update files in subdirectories |
