In addition, to colorizing, color_cvs tacks on a nice little summary of the files that were changed at the end of the update, so theirs no need to scroll though hundreds of lines of back scroll to see if the Changelog got updated.
It also now includes some support for colorizing of diff output.
Needs the Term::ANSIColor module available from: http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Term/
And also the Term::Size module from the same place
To use:
color_cvs -z3 update -Pd
or whatever normal cvs args you use.Or for diff mode:
color_cvs diff -u foobar.cAt the moment, it only does useful things for update and diff.
But here is an example output capture from a session updating gnome-core. Just cat this to a color term. color_cvs1.out
That particular example is pretty typical.
Note that it also highlights merge conflicts and other cases.
