NAME
bk delta − check in modified files
SYNOPSIS
bk delta [−acflpqu]
[−Dfile] [−ymsg]
[file ... | −]
bk delta [−acflpqu]
[−Dfile] [−Yfile]
[file ... | −]
DESCRIPTION
The bk delta command is used to check in changes made
to revision controlled files. This command is fairly rich in
features and is the preferred interface for scripting. For
interactive checkins, bk citool is the preferred
interface.
After a delta saves the modifications in a file, the state of the user file is controlled by the ’checkout’ config option and the −l and −u options below. In checkout:edit (aka −l) mode (the default for new repositories) the file is left unmodifed in an edited/writable state. In checkout:get (aka −u) mode, the file is unlocked and made read-only. In checkout:none mode, the file is removed after its contents has been recorded. The file is removed even if no changes are found.
By default, bk delta with no file arguments operates on all files in the current directory. If you want to disable this behavior, for example to prevent accidental checkins, you can set the BK_NODIREXPAND environment variable to a value of 1.
OPTIONS
−a Normally, bk delta is used to modify
existing files. This option changes bk delta to act like bk
new for new files and bk delta for existing files. The
usefulness of this option is more apparent when you consider
having a mixed list of files, some under revision control
and some not. For example,
bk -Axc delta -a -y’mass checkin’
runs bk new on all the new files and bk delta on all the modified files. When called with this option, bk delta does not create a null delta on an edited but unmodified file.
−c Take checkin
comments from SCCS/c.filename. It is an error
if the c.file does not exist.
−Dfile Take RCS format (diff -n or bk diff
-hn) diffs from <file>.
−f Force the creation of a null delta even if
there are no changes to the file.
−l Follow check in with a locked check out like
bk edit.
−Mmode Set the permissions on the new delta
to <mode>. More commonly used with bk new.
−p Print differences before prompting for
comments.
−q Run silently.
−u Follow check in with an unlocked check out.
−Yfile Use the comment specified in
file for comments for all files.
−ycomment Sets the revision comment to
<comment>.
