Adding this directory and contents to CVS server:

==> after creating MITgcm_contrib/ecco2_web/ecco2.jpl.nasa.gov
==> not discussed here

cd /home
cvs co -d web MITgcm_contrib/ecco2_web/ecco2.jpl.nasa.gov
cd web
cvs -q up
cvs add *.html *.txt favicon.ico
cvs -q up
cvs commit

==> created a .cvsignore file for files or directories that
==> that should not be visible to CVS
==> make sure to remove file from .cvsignore prior to adding
==> to CVS tree

cvs -q up
cvs add .cvsignore meetings people products
cd meetings
cvs -q up

 Benji:
 we used the following commands to add html files to the 
 MITgcm contrib CVS website :
 
 
  web directory already in CVS:
  /data1/pictures/www_ecco_group.org
  
  
  create mirror:
  /data5/ecco2_web_site/MITgcm_contrib/
 
  cvs co /MITgcm_contrib/highres_cube/README
 
  (important copies the CVS link on to data5)
 
  mkdir ecco2_web
 
  cvs -q up    -> returns a question what to do.
  
  cvs add ecco2_web -> add the directory to repository
                    -> be sure if you want the directory name the way it is, it's messy to
		    delete them....
		    
  repeat: 
  
  cvs -q up     -> ensures that you added the directory
  
  cp html files from skylla:/home/web/
  
  
  cvs -q up     -> asks for files
  
  cvs add *.html  -> add all the files in the directory

  cvs -q up
  
  cvs commit  -> returns prompt, enter text which appears on the website
  
  e.g. starting to populate ecco2_web
  
-----------------------
  
  demonstrated how to change a file and add it to the repository:
  
  changed the file website_improvements.txt on skylla

  ask for update  
  cvs -q up   -> returned prompt, that the file has changed.
  cvs add filename
  cvs commit   -> enter text: changes in xyz
  
  cvs -q up or check website to see whether changes are online.

  Dimitris CVS Usage Notes

=================================================================

To check out a clean, latest, working copy
(Option -P is needed to remove empty directories):
   cvs checkout -P MITgcm

To do an update, use
  cvs -q up -d -P
to get any new directories.

To see what files have changed but without updating:
 cvs -n update

To check out and rename a directory
 cvs co -d 2005 www.ecco-group.org/ecco_2005_pub.html
 cvs co -d 2006 www.ecco-group.org/ecco_2006_pub.html
 cvs co -d 2007 www.ecco-group.org/ecco_2007_pub.html
 cvs co -d 2008 www.ecco-group.org/ecco_2008_pub.html

To export a copy without CVS subdirectories:
   cvs export -D today mitgcmuv

To check out a clean, latest, working copy:
   cvs checkout -P mitgcmuv

To checkout or export latest copy from a branch:
   cvs checkout -r branch_name mitgcmuv

To checkout or export a particular version, e.g., that of
04/19/99 on branch c19-jpl-dimitri tagged R033099:
   cvs checkout -D "04/20/99" -r c19-jpl-dimitri mitgcmuv
or
   cvs checkout -r R033099 mitgcmuv

To create a branch based the current revision in the working copy:
   cvs tag -b branch_name
   cvs update -r branch_name

To add a file
   cvs add file_name

To add a binary file
   cvs add -kb file_name

To remove a file
   cvs remove file_name

To check for updates on working directory:
   cvs update

To merge with branch for first time:
   cvs update -j other_branch

For subsequent merges:

To commit changes:
   cvs commit

To import a copy of the code on a vendor branch, merge changes in the main
trunk, and tag it (note [-W "... -k 'b'"] is for binary files):
   cvs import -W "verification/exp2/SS* verification/exp2/*Lev* verification\
      /exp2/t* verification/exp2/w* verification/exp5/E* verification/exp5\
      /Q* verification/exp5/SS* verification/exp5/dQ* verification/exp5\
      /*Lev* verification/exp5/w* -k 'b'" mitgcmuv c19-jpl c19_990824
   cvs checkout -jc19-jpl:yesterday -jc19-jpl mitgcmuv
   cvs commit
   cvs tag c19_990824
