The following is a collection of tools that I use to work locally with cvs (for example if I'm working on my laptop and are currently offline so that I cannot access the cvs repository directly).
cvsq queues commits and other cvs commands in a queue to be executed later, when the machine is online again. In case of a commit (the default action) an actual copy of the working directory is made, so that you can continue editing without affecting the scheduled commit. You can even schedule several successive commits to the same file and they will be correctly committed as successive commits at the time of upload. This is different from an earlier script also named cvsq that you might have seen elsewhere.
lcvs uses rsync to maintain a local copy of a cvs repository. It also gives a convenient interface to call cvs in such a way that it believes the current working directory refers to the local copy rather than to the actual repository. This is useful for commands like log, diff, etc; however it cannot be used for commits (that's what cvsq is for).
The latest version of my tool collection is 1.11 (Mar 7, 2020). They are freely available and may be distributed under terms and conditions of the BSD licence. You can either download the tools as tar ball, browse its contents, download a tar ball ready for stow, or install it as a FreeBSD port.
For any questions or bug reports please feel free to contact me (Klaus Aehlig).
From Version 1.7 onwards all versions are available on the following stable URLs.
