Adding Files from One Branch to Another

[Jake Colman]

Branch A created a new subdirectory and committed new files in that
subdirectory. Branch B now wants access to that same code. I can
manually create the subdirectory in Branch B and manually copy the
source files over from one checked out branch to the other. But how do
I handle the commit in Branch B so that any new check-out of Branch B
gets those files?

Thanks.

...Jake

That should happen automagically when you add and commit the files.
However, rather than doing things manually, ``cvs up -d -jA newdir''
should create the directory and populate it for you, then you just need
to commit the changes.
