So, now you have a bona-fide branch of OFBiz with your own code mixed in, but there are a ton of cool new things in the latest OFBiz base code that you would LOVE to have. What do you do? The easiest way to do this is to use the "cvs import" command, and you can do this multiple times to get a new vendor branch for the latest OFBiz code. For example, checkout the latest OFBiz code (with an export or a checkout) and from the root directory of that import run something like 'cvs import myofbiz OFBIZ_BASE REL_3_0_0 -m "More cool stuff from OFBiz"', where myofbiz is the name of your local CVS repository module, and OFBIZ_BASE string you use to identify this vendor branch, and REL_3_0_0 is a string you use to identify the current set of code from OFBiz. This could also be date based if it isn't from an official OFBiz release or tag.

Wiki MarkupGo back to the place on your machine where you have HEAD checked out and merge the branch you just created with the HEAD, or the current set of files you have checked out. To do this run something like "cvs update \ -dP \ -j\[the-ofbiz-tag\]".

At any time to get a list of all files changed from the base, get a list of all tags on the module and compare the HEAD revisions with the revisions tagged using the most recent OFBiz tag.
