import options

These standard options are supported by import (see section Common command options, for a complete description of them):

-m message

Use message as log information, instead of invoking an editor.

-Q

Really quiet.

-q

Somewhat quiet.

There are three additional special options.

-b branch

Specify a first-level branch other than 1.1.1. Unless the `-b branch' flag is given, revisions will always be made to the branch 1.1.1--even if a vendortag that matches another branch is given! What happens in that case, is that the tag will be reset to 1.1.1. Warning: This behavior might change in the future.

-k subst

Indicate the RCS keyword expansion mode desired. This setting will apply to all files created during the import, but not to any files that previously existed in the repository. See co(1) for a complete list of valid `-k' settings.

If you are checking in sources that contain RCS keywords, and you wish those keywords to remain intact, use the `-ko' flag when importing the files. This setting indicates that no keyword expansion is to be performed by RCS when checking files out. It is also useful for checking in binaries.

-I name

Specify file names that should be ignored during import. You can use this option repeatedly. To avoid ignoring any files at all (even those ignored by default), specify `-I !'.

name can be a file name pattern of the same type that you can specify in the `.cvsignore' file. See section Ignoring files via cvsignore.
