(cvs.info.gz) First import

 
 13.1 Importing for the first time
 =================================
 
 Use the `import' command to check in the sources for the first time.
 When you use the `import' command to track third-party sources, the
 "vendor tag" and "release tags" are useful.  The "vendor tag" is a
 symbolic name for the branch (which is always 1.1.1, unless you use the
 `-b BRANCH' flag--see  Multiple vendor branches.).  The "release
 tags" are symbolic names for a particular release, such as `FSF_0_04'.
 
    Note that `import' does _not_ change the directory in which you
 invoke it.  In particular, it does not set up that directory as a CVS
 working directory; if you want to work with the sources import them
 first and then check them out into a different directory ( Getting
 the source).
 
    Suppose you have the sources to a program called `wdiff' in a
 directory `wdiff-0.04', and are going to make private modifications
 that you want to be able to use even when new releases are made in the
 future.  You start by importing the source to your repository:
 
      $ cd wdiff-0.04
      $ cvs import -m "Import of FSF v. 0.04" fsf/wdiff FSF_DIST WDIFF_0_04
 
    The vendor tag is named `FSF_DIST' in the above example, and the
 only release tag assigned is `WDIFF_0_04'.
