 5.13 Example
 ============
 
 Here is an example; lines are prefixed by `C: ' to indicate the client
 sends them or `S: ' to indicate the server sends them.
 
    The client starts by connecting, sending the root, and completing the
 protocol negotiation.  In actual practice the lists of valid responses
 and requests would be longer.
 
      C: Root /u/cvsroot
      C: Valid-responses ok error Checked-in M E
      C: valid-requests
      S: Valid-requests Root Directory Entry Modified Argument Argumentx ci co
      S: ok
      C: UseUnchanged
 
    The client wants to check out the `supermunger' module into a fresh
 working directory.  Therefore it first expands the `supermunger'
 module; this step would be omitted if the client was operating on a
 directory rather than a module.
 
      C: Argument supermunger
      C: Directory .
      C: .
      C: expand-modules
 
    The server replies that the `supermunger' module expands to the
 directory `supermunger' (the simplest case):
 
      S: Module-expansion supermunger
      S: ok
 
    The client then proceeds to check out the directory.  The fact that
 it sends only a single `Directory' request which specifies `.' for the
 working directory means that there is not already a `supermunger'
 directory on the client.
 
      C: Argument -N
      C: Argument supermunger
      C: Directory .
      C: .
      C: co
 
    The server replies with the requested files.  In this example, there
 is only one file, `mungeall.c'.  The `Clear-sticky' and
 `Clear-static-directory' requests are sent by the current
 implementation but they have no effect because the default is for those
 settings to be clear when a directory is newly created.
 
      S: Clear-sticky supermunger/
      S: /u/cvsroot/supermunger/
      S: Clear-static-directory supermunger/
      S: /u/cvsroot/supermunger/
      S: E cvs server: Updating supermunger
      S: M U supermunger/mungeall.c
      S: Created supermunger/
      S: /u/cvsroot/supermunger/mungeall.c
      S: /mungeall.c/1.1///
      S: u=rw,g=r,o=r
      S: 26
      S: int mein () { abort (); }
      S: ok
 
    The current client implementation would break the connection here
 and make a new connection for the next command.  However, the protocol
 allows it to keep the connection open and continue, which is what we
 show here.
 
    After the user modifies the file and instructs the client to check it
 back in.  The client sends arguments to specify the log message and file
 to check in:
 
      C: Argument -m
      C: Argument Well, you see, it took me hours and hours to find
      C: Argumentx this typo and I searched and searched and eventually
      C: Argumentx had to ask John for help.
      C: Argument mungeall.c
 
    It also sends information about the contents of the working
 directory, including the new contents of the modified file.  Note that
 the user has changed into the `supermunger' directory before executing
 this command; the top level directory is a user-visible concept because
 the server should print filenames in `M' and `E' responses relative to
 that directory.
 
      C: Directory .
      C: supermunger
      C: Entry /mungeall.c/1.1///
      C: Modified mungeall.c
      C: u=rw,g=r,o=r
      C: 26
      C: int main () { abort (); }
 
    And finally, the client issues the checkin command (which makes use
 of the data just sent):
 
      C: ci
 
    And the server tells the client that the checkin succeeded:
 
      S: M Checking in mungeall.c;
      S: E /u/cvsroot/supermunger/mungeall.c,v  <--  mungeall.c
      S: E new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1
      S: E done
      S: Mode u=rw,g=r,o=r
      S: Checked-in ./
      S: /u/cvsroot/supermunger/mungeall.c
      S: /mungeall.c/1.2///
      S: ok
