Actually, you can check into multiple branches at the same time. Just
not the same file at the same time. For example, given the following
module:
module/
file1.c
file2.c
file3.c
If you check out the module and then perform the following.
1. Modify file1.c
2. cvs update -r tag1 file1.c
3. Modify file2.c
4. cvs update -r tag2 file2.c
5. cvs ci (from inside module)
file1.c will be committed against tag1 and file2.c will be committed
against tag2. I have done this by accident several times but have
always caught it because the editting window will list which files are
being committed against which tags. This usually happens to me when I
make a quick fix to a sub-module certain branch and don't change the
branch back. My original question was whether there would ever be a
reason to do this on purpose rather than by accident.
