Ok, the file is now "outside" tag. It has been deleted from client side. File can be found in Attic folder on server side.
My question 1 is : how should I reassign tag to this file ? Is it OK to checkout the file only with a date, then tag it with exactly the same tag name as before ? Question 2 : as, in my opinion, the are no reason to remove a file from a tag, since the tag is here to keep version history, it's a way to "named" a moment versus remember the exact date with second precision. So could CVS server developper remove this dangerous "feature" ? The rules could be "no commit on a tag". (OK to commit in a branche, but not in a tag). ______________________________________________ Jean-Baptiste BRIAUD Sysdeo Software engineer www.sysdeo.com www.eclipsetotale.com > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Ludvig Borgne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Envoyé : jeudi 30 janvier 2003 10:01 > À : Jean-Baptiste BRIAUD; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Objet : RE: TAG and file removing > > > Have you tried to check out the tagged version of the module? > I'm sure you will find it contains the removed file, just as you want. > > (That's what the Attic is for - to store files that are not > in the head revision of the trunk, so that they can still be > included when a tagged version of the module is check out.) > > Regards, > > /Ludde > > -------------------------------------------------------------- > ---------- > Ludvig Borgne, Prover Technology AB, [EMAIL PROTECTED], www.prover.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Jean-Baptiste BRIAUD [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 15:36 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: TAG and file removing > > > Hello, > > A developper had removed a file in a tagged module. > How is it possible ? > > Am I missing something ? > I thought a tag in a module was like a "picture" of all files revision > number of the module, so you can later checkout the module with > the tag name. > But if it's possible to remove file > (remove and commit !!!
