hi vitaliy,
the instructions were do 'cvs up -r v2' only on the directories
'blastmc BlastLib2 Blast_Params'. your epics directory got wiped out
because there were no tags there; to get it back, do 'cvs up -A epics'
or similar for other directories. note: it wouldn't have wiped out any
of your changes; they would be marked as conflicts. and any changed
files are always backed up as '.#file~version'
as far as our use of cvs, i agree that is a learning curve, but
anytime more than one person develop the same code, you need some system
to keep track of things. cvs is the simplest thing out there short of
putting the load on one person to keep track of everyone else's
changes. besides, chances are that the next collaborative project you
work on will use it also, so it's well worth the time learning.
