I installed this version and lost the CVS option in the menubar. Anyone else seen this and found a fix before I notify support?

Thanks.  I hadn't read that far yet. :(

(This sucks big time by the way.  We have a ton of code in CVS.)

Hey Rod,

That's what 'find' is for. :)

I don't know if this helps you at all, but:

* [DOC] Support for CVS has been removed; the "CVS" menu no longer
exists. Note that you can continue to use BBEdit as a commit editor
and diff helper for CVS, with the appropriate CVS configuration
variables referring to the `bbedit` and `bbdiff` tools,
respectively; this is left as an exercise for the reader.

Hehe. I try read thru the notes to see what's new changed, but got busy on other issues. Didn't notice the change until I tried to diff a file with the repo and nothing happened.

Yeah, I'll need to set those up I guess. I have keystrokes mapped to the commit and diff actions, and it is so much easier to use those than enter commands in Terminal.

Still bummed. :(

Hey Rod,

I understand.

Could you use some scripts and bind them to keyboard shortcuts?

I've never used CVS, so I don't know what the process is - but I'd think you can rebuild the functionality.

That's an idea. I already have a shell script to replicate the "Compare Revisions...", looks like I'll be learning AppleScript. :)

It might be worth considering migrating to Subversion; the
conversion from CVS is pretty straightforward, and svn is
generally easier to work with on modern OS and hardware
platforms. The time spent migrating vs. the time spent trying to
shim your CVS workflow to keep working could pay off. :-)

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.

I've actually toying with that idea. I work with two repos -- a local one on my Mac for my projects and a remote one with two other programers (both use BBEdit, and are equally bummed about the demise of CVS). I think I'll try converting my local one to Subversion and see how it goes.

Thanks,

Just be sure to use a version of subversion prior to 1.7. BBEdit 10.5 is still not compatible with subversion 1.7. (I have filed a ticket with support.)

Thanks for the heads up.

I started looking into migrating yesterday and it will take some time to migrate my 1.3GB CVS respository to Subversion.  Looks like I'll be using 10.1 for a while.
