Possibly for handling the following conditions...
- cvs add foo && cvs commit -mnew foo && echo newstuff >>foo \
&& cvs commit -mupdate foo && cvs admin -o1.1 foo
.origin == 1.2 after this operation
- cvs add foo && cvs commit -mnew -r2.1 foo
.origin == 2.1
- cvs tag -b foo-branch && cvs update -rfoo-branch && cvs add foo \
&& cvs commit -mnew foo
In this case, is .origin == 1.1 (dead) or is it not found?
- cvs tag -b foo-branch && cvs update -rfoo-branch && cvs add foo \
&& cvs commit -mnew foo && cvs update -A && cvs up -jfoo-branch \
&& cvs commit -mmerge foo
.origin == 1.2
I have no objections to .origin being used for the very first revision
of the mainline.
