Yes, I mentioned that above [*]. You can't do that with branch tags. You can use cvs admin -n or -N with branch tags.

Maybe that will make it more clear what I'm looking for? _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
