How to restore the actual file from my_file.c,v file

archieval · 06-15-2011, 04:29 AM

Hello,

I am browsing our repository and I want to get this folder but all of the files there have ",v" in the end of their filenames and if you open each file, they have some written data which are headers for version control before the actual content of the file. I want to extract the actual content to make the file my_file.c,v --> my_file.c. Is there a command to do this?

I am having lock error and permission errors so I cannot checkout manually using CVS.

Regards,
archieval

Try 'co -q -r -p /path/to/my_file.c,v > /path/to/CVS/workdir/my_file.c' (or say ':.!co -q -r -p /path/to/my_file.c,v' inside vi)?

Best fix those first though.
