How can I keep CVSup from deleting the revisions I have checked in locally?
Simply remove the “delete” keyword from your cvsupfile. When present, this keyword gives CVSup permission to delete extra revisions from the RCS files. It also permits CVSup to delete entire RCS files, provided that it created them in the first place. By removing the “delete” keyword, you can prevent CVSup from removing extra revisions as well as entire RCS files. However, it is very important to understand the consequences of removing the “delete” keyword. First, suppose that one or more RCS files are intentionally removed from the CVS repository at the master site. Without the “delete” keyword, CVSup will not propagate these file removals to your site. Thus you will have some RCS files in your repository that otherwise shouldn’t be there. In an ideal world, this would not be a problem. That is because, in an ideal world, one never deletes an RCS file from a CVS repository. Thus, the situation should never arise. Unfortunately, most administrators don’t manage their repositories quite
