I am using cvs to manage my server. Sometimes I want to test or debug something and so I make changes in some files. When I try to upgrade my installation using 'cvs update -dP', the modified files are not upgraded to the latest copy available. Can someone tell me what options should I use so that cvs updates the modified files as well?

TIA

CVS does update the modified files ... it actually merges your changes with any updates from the CVS repository. Normally this is the best feature of using CVS for your Moodle server.

To overwrite all local copies with fresh repository copies use the -C option
