Not with the current RCS file format. That was an intentional trade-off in the design of RCS. The SCCS file format allowed any revision to be retrieved in constant time. The RCS file format was designed to allow the most recent revision to be retrieved as fast as possible (on the assumption that that was by far the most frequent operation) at the expense of making other revisions slower (in some cases, much slower). -Larry Jones My life needs a rewind/erase button. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
