NAME

       ae-repo-ci - redundant repository checkin

SYNOPSIS

       ae-repo-ci -Project name -Change number -REPOsitory type [ option...  ]
       ae-repo-ci -Help
       ae-repo-ci -VERSion

DESCRIPTION

       The ae-repo-ci command is used to redundantly commit an Aegis change
       set into a parallel repository.

   Integrate Pass Notify Command
       The intended use for the ae-repo-ci command is as an integrate_pass_
       notify_command (see aepa(1) for more information) to do a redundant
       checkin of a change set into a second parallel repository.

       For example, if you were using CVS, the project attribute would look
       something like this:
              integrate_pass_notify_command =
                  "$bin/ae-repo-ci -repo cvs "
                  " -p $project -c $change";
       You may also need to specify the module, if the module name is not the
       same as the project name.

   Commit Messages
       You are able to control the commit message, by using the ae-repo-
       ci:commit-message attribute in the project_specific field of the
       project configuration file.

       The default is as if the following entry were present:
              project_specific = [
                  {
                      name = "ae-repo-ci:commit-message";
                      value = "$version - ${change brief_description}";
                  } ];
       All of the aesub(5) substitutions are available.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       -Change number
               This option may be used to specify a particular change within a
               project.  See aegis(1) for a complete description of this
               option.

       -DIRectory path
               This option may be used to specify which directory is to be
               used.  It is an error if the current user does not have
               appropriate permissions to create the directory path given.
               This must be an absolute path.

               Caution: If you are using an automounter do not use ‘pwd‘ to
               make an absolute path, it usually gives the wrong answer.

       -Help
               This option may be used to obtain more information about how to
               use the ae-repo-ci program.

       -List   This option may be used to obtain a list of supported
               repository types.

       -MODule name
               This option may be used to specify which module is to be
               checked out.  If not set, it defaults to the trunk project name
               (i.e. the project name without any branch or version numbers).

       -Project name
               This option may be used to select the project of interest.
               When no -Project option is specified, the AEGIS_PROJECT
               environment variable is consulted.  If that does not exist, the
               user’s $HOME/.aegisrc file is examined for a default project
               field (see aeuconf(5) for more information).  If that does not
               exist, when the user is only working on changes within a single
               project, the project name defaults to that project.  Otherwise,
               it is an error.

       -REPOsitory type
               This option is used to specify the repository type for the
               checkin.  Known repository types are:

               cvs     Concurrent version System.  You will need to set the
                       CVSROOT environment variable appropriately, and the
                       -module option will be relative to it.

               svn
                       Subversion.  You must specify the complete URL with the
                       -module option.

                       The following field in the project_specific field of
                       the project configuration file (see aepconf(5) for more
                       information) are relevant:

                       svn:username
                               If present, the --username command line option
                               will be added to svn(1) command lines, with
                               this value.

                       svn:password 8n
                               If present, the --username command line option
                               will be added to svn(1) command lines, with
                               this value.

                       These options can help when you can’t convince
                       Subversion to use the correct authorization any other
                       way.

               This option must be specified, there is no default.  The -list
               option may be used to obtain an up-to-date list of supported
               repository types.

       See also aegis(1) for options common to all aegis commands.

       All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the
       upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are
       optional.  You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.

       All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or
       lower case or a combination of both, case is not important.

       For example: the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are all
       interpreted to mean the -Project option.  The argument "-prj" will not
       be understood, because consecutive optional characters were not
       supplied.

       Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on
       the command line, after the function selectors.

       The GNU long option names are understood.  Since all option names for
       ae-repo-ci are long, this means ignoring the extra leading ’-’.  The
       "--option=value" convention is also understood.

EXIT STATUS

       The ae-repo-ci command will exit with a status of 1 on any error.  The
       ae-repo-ci command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no
       errors.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       See aegis(1) for a list of environment variables which may affect this
       command.  See aepconf(5) for the project configuration file’s project_
       specific field for how to set environment variables for all commands
       executed by Aegis.
