Matt,
cvs tag -b <NAME> creates a new branch - not an alias. You want to create tags that have the same revisions as the branch tags. You can use rcs commands to do just that. (or cvs admin as Andy pointed out) cvs admin -nNEWTAG:OLDTAG Will create a synonym of OLDTAG, not a new branch.

Why wouldn't double tagging do what you want? -Matt _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
