|------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| Code | Meaning | Description |
|------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| ? | what? | It's not a file in CVS. CVS knows nothing about this |
| | | file |
|------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| A | Added | This is a file you just added to CVS but not yet |
| | | committed. You have to commit it before others can see |
| | | it. |
|------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| C | Conflicted | A Conflict occurred when you did CVS update. The |
| | | conflicted lines are marked with special characters and |
| | | you need to manually resolve the conflicts. |
|------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| M | Modified | You have modified this file. It's different from what's |
| | | in CVS and you need to commit (check in) the file to |
| | | persist your changes in CVS |
|------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| P | Patched | This file was patched when you did CVS update. The |
| | | effect is the same as U (update), but the changes were |
| | | so small that CVS decided to send a patch (P) instead |
| | | of a whole file (U). |
|------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| U | Updated | This file was updated when you ran CVS update. It could |
| | | be a file that already existed on the local drive, or a |
| | | new file brought down from the CVS repository. |
|------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| R | Removed | You asked CVS to remove this file but you haven't |
| | | committed the removal. |
