But their is a branch called "rel6-0-0". I could modify any file in this directory and could commit it. Also status shows that this is a branch: H:\vps\common\include>cvs status alarm.h =================================================================== File: alarm.h Status: Up-to-date Working revision: 1.6.8.1 Repository revision: 1.6.8.1 /vps/vps-repository/common/include/alarm.h,v Sticky Tag: rel6-0-0 (branch: 1.6.8) Sticky Date: (none) Sticky Options: (none) It doesnt let me add files and it has to do with the CVS/Tag file stating that rel6-0-0 is not a branch. jsm > > donald > > > > The contents of the CVS/Tag file shows: > > > > Nrel6-0-0 > > > > And if I change it to Trel6-0-0 I am able to add/commit with no problem. > > > > What is the correct way to add a file to a branch? > > > > thanks > > jsm > Content-Description: Card for John S.
