<p>Patches accepted.</p>
<p>Although given the cvs status output does not include the directory at all,
except for in some lines output to stderr, which would mean parsing stderr
and combining it with the filenames in stdout to get actual filenames ...
It would be quite a complicated patch.</p>
<p>Of course you can also override <code>cvs_status</code> in your own <code>.mrconfig</code></p>
An easier approach http://myrepos.branchable.com/todo/CVS_status_shortened_too_much/comment_2_e1e49339e2972147bc79ea4727bfae26/HBBroeker2016-11-02T21:23:41Z2016-11-02T21:23:40Z
<p>I hadn't really looked at the inner workings of myrepos before.</p>
<p>Well, now that I did, I see the core issue is one level further down: you're actually using "cvs status". Don't <img src="http://myrepos.branchable.com/smileys/smile.png" alt=":-)" /></p>
<p>The idiom to get the kind of output "mr status" wants is actually</p>
<blockquote><p>cvs -nq up</p></blockquote>
Overwriting cvs_status failedhttp://myrepos.branchable.com/todo/CVS_status_shortened_too_much/comment_3_b3e6644ee3a1712681269a2802175858/HBBroeker2016-11-02T21:57:45Z2016-11-02T21:57:44Z
<p>As per your suggestion, I did try to override the "cvs_status" in my ~/.mrconfig, but</p>
<pre><code>mr config DEFAULT cvs_status='cvs -n -q update'
</code></pre>
<p>had no noticeable effect. "mr status" after this still uses the command in the "mr" script instead of my own one.</p>
