A while ago there was a thread here about how to best update a site that was based on 4.7.x, yet used some modules that did not have the DRUPAL-4-7 branch. This was back when the tag was new and most modules had not used it yet. I found this command and was happily using it:
cvs update -dPf -r DRUPAL-4-7
(the '-f' means get the files even if there is no DRUPAL-4-7 tag.)
Well I'm not using it so happily anymore. Recently all the modules/*.module files were moved. So instead of modules/user.module you have modules/user/user.module. This change was made to DRUPAL-HEAD.
Now, a consequence of using the CVS command above is that you update modules/user.module, but you also get a copy of modules/user/user.module. Because to CVS, its a new file that you asked for when specifying -f and -d.
I'm not using the -f switch, but the same thing started happening to me. In addition to the module weirdness you mentioned, my update would start downloading /all/ contrib modules and themes. One moment it would be operating as expected and only updating core and the few modules I had specifically ased for, and the next, with no changes in subscriptions or tags or anything else, it would not be. -- Jason Flatt http://www.oadae.net/ Father of Six: http://www.flattfamily.com/ (Joseph, 13; Cramer, 11; Travis, 9; Angela; Harry, 5; and William, 12:04 am, 12-29-2005) Linux User: http://www.sourcemage.org/ Drupal Fanatic: http://drupal.org/
