 A.18 release--Indicate that a Module is no longer in use
 ========================================================
 
    * release [-d] directories...
 
    * Requires: Working directory.
 
    * Changes: Working directory, history log.
 
    This command is meant to safely cancel the effect of `cvs checkout'.
 Since CVS doesn't lock files, it isn't strictly necessary to use this
 command.  You can always simply delete your working directory, if you
 like; but you risk losing changes you may have forgotten, and you leave
 no trace in the CVS history file ( history file) that you've
 abandoned your checkout.
 
    Use `cvs release' to avoid these problems.  This command checks that
 no uncommitted changes are present; that you are executing it from
 immediately above a CVS working directory; and that the repository
 recorded for your files is the same as the repository defined in the
 module database.
 
    If all these conditions are true, `cvs release' leaves a record of
 its execution (attesting to your intentionally abandoning your
 checkout) in the CVS history log.
