If I remove a file from CVS with rm -v testfile
, cvs remove testfile
and cvs commit testfile
, then the testfile is moved to attic. I can restore the file from attic with cvs add testfile
and cvs commit testfile
commands. However, I need to know the exact file name. How can I list all the files in attic?

If you have access to the repository, you can find all files in the attic with find. Try a command like:
find . -type d -name Attic -exec ls -1 {} +
You can also list the files with the cvs
log command. Try:
log -R
Both of these will list the names of the RCS
files used to store the file. Remove the ,v
at the end of the file to get the file name you want.
