Hi,
Thanks for all the suggestions! Since I do not want the users to touch
an existing tag at all, I will add code in tagrules.sh to reject any
tagging request (tag, delete, etc) that involves an existing tag. My
version or David's tagrules.sh will be:
tag=$1 [tag]
op=$2 [operation]
repo=$3 [repository]
filelist=$4 [file list]
module=`expr $repo : "$CVSROOT/\(.*\)"`
topdir=`echo $module | awk -F/ '{print $1}'` [top directory]
file=`ls -1 $CVSROOT/$topdir/GNUmakefile,v` [check GNUmakefile only]
if [ "$file" != "" -a "`grep $tag: $file`" != "" ]; then
echo "Error: $tag is existing tag, request is rejected."
exit 1
fi
Many thanks!
