This is probably in the FAQ, but can't find it.
Suppose readme.txt is revision 1.5.
I'd like to go back to 1.3 and completely forget 1.4 and 1.5.
I do a
cvs up -r1.3 readme.txt
my older file comes into my local dir
and I do my changes.
Now, I can't do
cvs com -m "comment" readme.txt
because cvs complains about
cvs commit: sticky tag `1.3' for file `readme.txt' is not a branch
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!
How am I supposed to conduct this?
I've found a workaround
cvs admin -o 1.4 readme.txt
cvs admin -o 1.5 readme.txt
But it doesn't look good, and you can't do
it from the WinCVS.
Do I really have to create branches to be able to go back
to older revisions?
Regards,
T
