I am trying to use the -f option to check out the head revision if the
tag specified by -r is not found.
>From the manual:
Checkout options
-f Only useful with the `-D date' or `-r tag' flags.
If no matching revision is found, retrieve the most
recent revision (instead of ignoring the file).
I tried the following cases:
cvs co -f -r TAG1 myfile.c
cvs co -f -r TAG2 myfile.c
cvs co -f -r TAG3 myfile.c
Where:
TAG1 is a valid tag for myfile.c
TAG2 is a non-existent tag.
TAG3 is a valid tag but not for myfile.c.
With cvs version 1.10.7 I get the following:
Case 1. The code checks out.
Case 2. The code doesn't check out.
Case 3. The code checks out.
Why doesn't Case 2 work?
If Case 2 shouldn't work why does Case 3 work?
Is this a bug with the cvs -f option or am I missing something?
John.
