ui-auto-uvc - a tool from the ui-auto tool box.
Documentation is fully in the usage output via "ui-auto-uvc -H". This is just a copy for convenience: Unified version control tool for ui-auto tasks.
This tool autodetects the used versioning control system and
unifies a selection of common tasks needed by ui-auto
tools. This is not a full featured version control tool.
VC paths have the common syntax 'LOCATION/TAG' (i.e., TAG is
after the last literal '/' and must not contain '/' itself).
This string is interpeted differently for the different VC
systems:
LOCAL(meta): 'LOCALPATH': Will just 'cp -a' locally.
Example: '/home/user/src/myproject/'.
CVS: 'CVSROOT;MODULE/TAG': TAG is an CVS tag. Empty or
TAG=HEAD is the same. ';' is separator and must not be
used elsewhere.
Example: 'cvs.myhost.org:/my/repo/path/repo;myproject/MYPROJECT_1_2_3'.
SVN: 'SVNURL/TAG': TAG just adds to the svn path (a svnpath alone is unique).
Example: 'svn://svn.myhost.org/my/repo/path/tags/myproject/MYPROJECT_1_2_3'
GIT: 'GITURL/TAG': TAG is a git branch. If empty, we stay on repo's default
branch.
Example: 'ssh://git.myhost.org/my/git/path/myprojec.git/MYPROJECT_1_2_3'
Usage: ui-auto-uvc [-h|-H] -s -S arg -m arg CMD OPT1 OPT2
-h|-H : Get usage help; short (-h) or complete (-H).
Options:
-s : Only print the autodetected vc system id.
-S arg: Set VC System id arbitrarily. Supported: cvs svn git local. ['local']
-m arg: Message for this action. ['ui-auto-uvc: No user message.']
Note that it depends on the used UVC command and the VC used how and if this
is used.
