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.
