Using CVS for developing modules

Description & Info: 

Using CVS for developing modules
We can commit to Drupal.org CVS and use it just like we use subversion to manage our sites. No more trying to develop a module in subversion and contribute changes to CVS, just do everything in CVS. It's not that much worse than SVN.

Watch:

In the home local checkout:

Ebony-II:enabled_modules ben$ cvs commit -m "Implemented feature request 1 to show module paths and 4 to list formerly enabled, now disabled modules from http://drupal.org/node/244583 ; also moved listing page to admin section ; and added more help text"
cvs commit: Examining .
/cvs/drupal-contrib/contributions/modules/enabled_modules/enabled_modules.module,v <-- enabled_modules.module
new revision: 1.1.2.1; previous revision: 1.1

On the test server:

ben@server:/sites/livingconversations/www/sites/all/modules/enabled_modules$ sudo cvs update -r DRUPAL-5
cvs update: Updating .
U enabled_modules.module

And then you can put it back to a stable version (on your own test site, none of this upsets the official release, assuming you have set one, and are not inflicting dev code on downloaders.)

ben@server:/sites/livingconversations/www/sites/all/modules/enabled_modules$ sudo cvs update -r DRUPAL-5--0-1-ALPHA
