I am still looking into the -j flag and (r)tag. This patch was done quickly, and I am still trying to see what it breaks. I realized some of the issues I had were also broken with an unpatched cvs. So I might have broken something that is already broken.
I am looking through diff -rv1_11_2 -rHEAD in the FreeBSD repository and diff -rCVS1_11_2 -rHEAD in the NetBSD repository and comparing that with -rHEAD cvs/ccvs from the cvshome repository. I don't know what the CVS people think of my patch, but I based it off a patch on their website that they have had for over 4 years. http://www.cvshome.org/cyclic/cvs/dev-branch.html I would really appreciate it if anyone would give me feedback on what they feel is "broken" about cvs. --- Archie Cobbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > David Yeske wrote: > > I am working on getting cvs more usable so I don't have to worry about > > val-tags when I have read only media, and so I can do stuff like this. > > > > cvs update -rRELENG_4:2002/10/01 > > > > cvs diff -rRELENG_4:2002/09/01 -rRELENG_4:2002/09/30 > > > > I would appreciate any testing or feedback.
