Hey all,

I would like to be able to extract a particular version of a file 
from cvs into a directory.   I tried

cvs export -d targetDir -r1.5 module/path/file

but cvs complains that I need to specify a symbolic tag.  If I 
replace -r1.5 with -Dtoday, it works, but this probably gets the 
version from the main branch, which may not be what I want.

1) Why does cvs prevent me from using actual version numbers?
2) Is there some other way to perform this operation?

TIA,

- rmgw
