A little clarification on CVS updates:
So, I patch my Linux 2.4.4 tree with the 05022001 CVS patch, rename
linux-2.4.4 to linux-2.4-xfs, cd linux-2.4-xfs, then 'cvs -z3 update -d'.
How does CVS update know if a local file is in sync with the repository or
not? I noticed that a lot of upstream transfers are made. Making cvs show
me a trace using 'cvs -z3 update -d -t', I notice it's "sending" a lot of
files to the server. Does the CVS client send the entire file to the
server to be compared line by line?
