Hi CVS gurus, We've just started to use branches (a new experience), and have encountered some difficulties.
We've spawned one new branch from the root directory (called MBX-1_0_1_PATCHES) and updated a few files on that branch. Everything seemed to work fine until we tagged the files in the new branch (MBX-1_0_2_b1). A checkout based on the latter tag does not commit new revisions properly (CVS responds with 'the tag MBX-1_0_2_b1 is not a branch'). A checkout base on the branch tag and a following update did *not* update the files in the sandbox. Why is that? What is the proper way of checking out a specified tagged extract from a branch (the branch itself is a tagged extract isn't it?). The whole idea is that the sandbox should be "based on a particular branch", but updated based on a tag. Does this make any sense? Any help on this would be much appreciated! -- Thomas ************************************************************************* Copyright ERA Technology Ltd. 2002. (www.era.co.uk).
