Can a branch be deleted?? Suppose instead of the renaming that Gene wants to do, you really want to delete the branch (it doesn't make sense but...) In this deleting the tag, will just clean the name "holiday" from the symbols list in the ,v file. So it should be possible to do it with cvs tag -d holiday Right? -- Back to the problem: cvs rtag -r HOLIDAY PROD (when HOLIDAY tag name is not found, nothing should happen unless -f is used.) Now you have holiday and prod pointing to same thing, now with -d on rtag you should be able to remove HOLIDAY. cvs rtag -d HOLIDAY Am i right? _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
