 13.2 Updating with the import command
 =====================================
 
 When a new release of the source arrives, you import it into the
 repository with the same `import' command that you used to set up the
 repository in the first place.  The only difference is that you specify
 a different release tag this time:
 
      $ tar xfz wdiff-0.05.tar.gz
      $ cd wdiff-0.05
      $ cvs import -m "Import of FSF v. 0.05" fsf/wdiff FSF_DIST WDIFF_0_05
 
    *WARNING: If you use a release tag that already exists in one of the
 repository archives, files removed by an import may not be detected.*
 
    For files that have not been modified locally, the newly created
 revision becomes the head revision.  If you have made local changes,
 `import' will warn you that you must merge the changes into the main
 trunk, and tell you to use `checkout -j' to do so:
 
      $ cvs checkout -jFSF_DIST:yesterday -jFSF_DIST wdiff
 
 The above command will check out the latest revision of `wdiff',
 merging the changes made on the vendor branch `FSF_DIST' since
 yesterday into the working copy.  If any conflicts arise during the
 merge they should be resolved in the normal way ( Conflicts
 example).  Then, the modified files may be committed.
 
    However, it is much better to use the two release tags rather than
 using a date on the branch as suggested above:
 
      $ cvs checkout -jWDIFF_0_04 -jWDIFF_0_05 wdiff
 
 The reason this is better is that using a date, as suggested above,
 assumes that you do not import more than one release of a product per
 day.  More importantly, using the release tags allows CVS to detect
 files that were removed between the two vendor releases and mark them
 for removal.  Since `import' has no way to detect removed files, you
 should do a merge like this even if `import' doesn't tell you to.
