[rancid] Revision Searches

[Doug Hughes]

It's been a while since I've used cvs, but here's what I'd do with
subversion, which is not hugely different.

1) co the config tree into a temporary directory (here using svn co or
similar)

2) cd to the configs directory

3) look at the log history on one of the files and find the time frame
I'm looking for. Here, we're relying on the fact that rancid is running
a bulk check-in at once for all of the files, so they all have the same
version number at the same time of run.

4) svn update -r<version> * - that brings out all the files at that same
version number (e.g. whatever that version is from 5 revs ago)

5) run grep on *


(there's always the option of converting your cvs to subversion, though
I'm not sure if it didn't keep the revs the same if that would translate
similarly)
