I have CVS 1.11.1p1 installed and am using pserver mode on several UNIX
platforms (sgi, DEC alpha, and IBM) and have discovered what I consider to
be a bug with the tag and rtag commands.
1. If you have a file that has been imported on a vendor branch you can
create a tag for a non-existing revision as shown here:
[millerd@a01n01:/swcm] cvs rtag -f -r1.30 testing MM5/MPP/RSL/RSL/compat.h
[millerd@a01n01:/swcm] cvs status -v MM5/MPP/RSL/RSL/compat.h
===================================================================
File: compat.h Status: Up-to-date
Working revision: 1.1.1.2 Thu Oct 18 19:50:19 2001
Repository revision: 1.1.1.2 /swcm/cvsroot/MM5/MPP/RSL/RSL/compat.h,v
Sticky Tag: (none)
Sticky Date: (none)
Sticky Options: (none)
Existing Tags:
testing (revision: 1.30)
And if you checkout "-rtesting" you will get an empty file.
2. If you have a file that is not from an import you can not tag a
non-existing reversion, however, you get no error that the revision does not
exist.
3. In the first example with the vendor branch, if you do not include the
"-f" the tag will not be made but again you get no error message that the
revision does not exist.
I believe a non-existing revision should not be tagable or am I missing
something.
