Updating the kdb branch recipe 1. Tag the mainline. Tradition is to use a tag like V2418_PA13_KDB which means "we last merged the kdb branch from here". 2. Change to the kdb branch: cvs up -RPd -ko -rkdb_v21 3. Merge the changes between upstream tags, saving a log file for reference: cvs up -RPd -ko -rkdb_v21 -jV2418_PA13_KDB -jV2418_PA24_KDB 2>&1 | tee ~/log 4. Peruse the log file for conflicts, fix them 5. Commit -- may need to fix errors here so save a log cvs commit -rkdb_v21 -m 'merged V2418_PA13_KDB-V2418_PA24_KDB into kdb branch' 2>&1 | tee ~/log 6. Tag the kdb branch cvs tag V2418_PA24_KDB_MERGED
