Hi! It is not possible to export using a revision tag, for example:
cvs export -r 1.1 test4711/ActBar.cc ==> cvs [export aborted]: tag `1.1' must be a symbolic tag cvs checkout -r 1.1 test4711/ActBar.cc ==> NO ERROR The tag '1.1' is rejected by checkout.c, line 235 (cvs-1.11.1p1): if (m_type == EXPORT) { if (!tag && !date) error (1, 0, "must specify a tag or date"); if (tag && isdigit ((unsigned char) tag[0])) error (1, 0, "tag `%s' must be a symbolic tag", tag); } Is this a bug? If not: - What's the reason for this test (tag && isdigit ...)? - Would the "deactivation" of this test in checkout.c bring up any problems?

This is on by default. -r tag Use revision tag.
