CVS: show files that are locally changed

Is there any simple way to show only the files in my repository that have been locally added, removed, or modified? I know that I can type "cvs stat" and look through the list of files, but that is tedious and error-prone. I am wondering if there is an easier way. I am using CVS 1.11.17, in case that matters.

Solution

  • A 'dummy' update will give you this information.

    cvs -qn update

    A short description of the used options:

    -q      Cause CVS to be somewhat quiet.
-n      Do not execute anything that will change the disk.
