I need the ability to rollback a module to an earlier tag, and have that tag
become the current revision. I was unable to find any way to do this
in the faqs. The cvs reference manual lists a way to roll back, but the
documentation is incorrect (it shows how to merge the current revision with
previous ones, and says that this is rolling back).
cvs co -r [tag] will not make that tag the current revision, and I can't commit
to it; it is for historical purposes only.
I grepped the mail archives for 'rollback' and found a hackish way to rollback
for individual files only. However, I want to do so for a whole module,
including un-deleteing the files that have since been deleted, and un-adding
the files that have since been added.
I tried exporting the tag to another directory, cvs removing all the files in
the repository, copying all the files from the exported directory, adding the
files from the exported directory, and committing. It works but it ain't pretty.
There must be a simple way of doing this that I'm unaware of. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
tom
