NAME

       cvsforwardport - forwardport the last change in a branch to HEAD

SYNOPSIS

       cvsforwardport file ...

DESCRIPTION

       For each file given on the command line, cvsforwardport will attempt to
       determine the last change made to the file in the  primary  CVS  branch
       and  then  forwardport  that  change to HEAD.  The branch name is hard-
       coded; see below.

       The changes to be forwardported will be displayed on  screen,  and  you
       will have the chance to confirm or abort before any commits are made.

       The  files  must  be  checked  out  from  the  branch when you run this
       utility.

       This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

WARNINGS

       The branch tag is hard-coded into the script (currently it  is  set  to
       KDE_3_4_BRANCH).

       If  you abort (i.e., you do not make the suggested commits), your files
       will be checked out from HEAD (and not from the  branch  as  they  were
       before).
