.SH NAME

rcsmerge \- merge RCS revisions
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B rcsmerge
|
|
.RI [ options ] " file"
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B rcsmerge
|
|
incorporates the changes between two revisions
|
|
of an \*r file into the corresponding working file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Pathnames matching an \*r suffix denote \*r files;
|
|
all others denote working files.
|
|
Names are paired as explained in
|
|
.BR ci (1).
|
|
.PP
|
|
At least one revision must be specified with one of the options
|
|
described below, usually
|
|
.BR \-r .
|
|
At most two revisions may be specified.
|
|
If only one revision is specified, the latest
|
|
revision on the default branch (normally the highest branch on the trunk)
|
|
is assumed for the second revision.
|
|
Revisions may be specified numerically or symbolically.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B rcsmerge
|
|
prints a warning if there are overlaps, and delimits
|
|
the overlapping regions as explained in
|
|
.BR merge (1).
|
|
The command is useful for incorporating changes into a checked-out revision.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-A
|
|
Output conflicts using the
|
|
.B \-A
|
|
style of
|
|
.BR diff3 (1),
|
|
if supported by
|
|
.BR diff3 .
|
|
This merges all changes leading from
|
|
.I file2
|
|
to
|
|
.I file3
|
|
into
|
|
.IR file1 ,
|
|
and generates the most verbose output.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\f3\-E\fP, \f3\-e\fP
|
|
These options specify conflict styles that generate less information
|
|
than
|
|
.BR \-A .
|
|
See
|
|
.BR diff3 (1)
|
|
for details.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.BR \-E .
|
|
With
|
|
.BR \-e ,
|
|
.B rcsmerge
|
|
does not warn about conflicts.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-k subst
|
|
Use
|
|
.I subst
|
|
style keyword substitution.
|
|
See
|
|
.BR co (1)
|
|
for details.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.B "\-kk\ \-r1.1\ \-r1.2"
|
|
ignores differences in keyword values when merging the changes from
|
|
.B 1.1
|
|
to
|
|
.BR 1.2 .
|
|
It normally does not make sense to merge binary files as if they were text, so
|
|
.B rcsmerge
|
|
refuses to merge files if
|
|
.B \-kb
|
|
expansion is used.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-p [\f2rev\fP]
|
|
Send the result to standard output instead of overwriting the working file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-q [\f2rev\fP]
|
|
Run quietly; do not print diagnostics.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-r [\f2rev\fP]
|
|
Merge with respect to revision
|
|
.IR rev .
|
|
Here an empty
|
|
.I rev
|
|
stands for the latest revision on the default branch, normally the head.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-T
|
|
This option has no effect;
|
|
it is present for compatibility with other \*r commands.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-V
|
|
Print \*r's version number.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-V n
|
|
Emulate \*r version
|
|
.IR n .
|
|
See
|
|
.BR co (1)
|
|
for details.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-x "suffixes"
|
|
Use
|
|
.I suffixes
|
|
to characterize \*r files.
|
|
See
|
|
.BR ci (1)
|
|
for details.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-z zone
|
|
Use
|
|
.I zone
|
|
as the time zone for keyword substitution.
|
|
See
|
|
.BR co (1)
|
|
for details.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
Suppose you have released revision 2.8 of
|
|
.BR f.c .
|
|
Assume
|
|
furthermore that after you complete an unreleased revision 3.4, you receive
|
|
updates to release 2.8 from someone else.
|
|
To combine the updates to 2.8 and your changes between 2.8 and 3.4,
|
|
put the updates to 2.8 into file f.c and execute
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B " rcsmerge \-p \-r2.8 \-r3.4 f.c >f.merged.c"
|
|
.PP
|
|
Then examine
|
|
.BR f.merged.c .
|
|
Alternatively, if you want to save the updates to 2.8 in the \*r file,
|
|
check them in as revision 2.8.1.1 and execute
|
|
.BR "co \-j":
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B " ci \-r2.8.1.1 f.c"
|
|
.br
|
|
.B " co \-r3.4 \-j2.8:2.8.1.1 f.c"
|
|
.PP
|
|
As another example, the following command undoes the changes
|
|
between revision 2.4 and 2.8 in your currently checked out revision
|
|
in
|
|
.BR f.c .
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B " rcsmerge \-r2.8 \-r2.4 f.c"
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note the order of the arguments, and that
|
|
.B f.c
|
|
will be
|
|
overwritten.
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.TP

options prepended to the argument list, separated by spaces.
|
|
See
|
|
.BR ci (1)
|
|
for details.
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Exit status is 0 for no overlaps, 1 for some overlaps, 2 for trouble.
