This is a beta version of the CVS Texinfo manual.  It is incomplete
and probably contains errors.  I need your help to find them and
report them to me, so that the production release can be as good as
possible.  Thanks in advance!  Send bug reports to <ceder@signum.se>.

Compression method
------------------

Since you have unpacked this, you probably already know that the .z
extension stands for "gzip" format.  Gzip is available from:

	prep.ai.mit.edu  (or any of the many mirrors of that archive)
in
	pub/gnu/gzip-1.07.tar

Document format
---------------

This manual uses features from Texinfo version 2.  You will not be
able to format it using the Texinfo that is distributed wiht Emacs
18.59.  I have been using Texinfo version 2.16, available via
anonymous ftp from:

	prep.ai.mit.edu  (or any of the many mirrors of that archive)
in
	/pub/gnu/texinfo-2.16.tar.z

Printed manual
--------------

To produce a printed manual, use these commands:

	$ tex cvs.texinfo	# First pass through TeX
	$ tex cvs.texinfo	# Fix references
	$ texindex cvs.cp	# Create the index
	$ tex cvs.texinfo	# Include the index in the dvi file
	$ dvi2ps cvs.dvi	# Convert the dvi file to a postscript file
	$ lpr cvs.ps		# Print the file

The last two commands are very system dependend.  Some alternatives
that are more or less likely to work are "dvips", "dviout", "dvilj2p"
(if you have a HP LaserJet).  Ask your local guru.

On-line documentation
---------------------

To create on-line info pages, use

	$ makeinfo cvs.texinfo

This will create cvs.info and cvs.info-1 to cvs.info-4.  You should
install them in your info directory and add a line such as this to
your dir file:

-------------------------cut here---------------------------------
* cvs: (cvs.info). Beta CVS documentation from Signum Support AB.
		   Send errors/patches to ceder@signum.se.

-------------------------cut here---------------------------------

You can not format this manual with texinfo-format-buffer inside Emacs
unless you update the node pointers first.  (You can easily do that
with texinfo-every-node-update).

As mentioned earlier, you need the texinfo 2.16 package.  The version
of makeinfo I've been using is 1.49.

News since 0.6
--------------

* Index added.

* Lots of spelling errors corrected.

* Menus updated.

* A section on multiple repositories.

* This README file added to the distribution.
