Hi Brian.
Thank you for your reply. ok... I'm having more success with the -j option. It seems to have to require another state to have to merge with tho I can't simply checkout the branch+date that I want. I tried a few tricks such as... cvs checkout -j MyBranch:"22 mar 2002" -j MyBranch:"22 mar 2002" MyModule and... cvs checkout -j MyBranch:"22 mar 2002" -j MyBranch:"23 mar 2002" MyModule but both ended up giving me the main trunk again. Would it work if I merged my Branch+Date state with the MainTrunk files for when I created my branch. eg created branch at 10th Oct 2001. so.. cvs checkout -D "10 oct 2001" -j MyBranch:"23 mar 2002" MyModule If this is true. How can I find out when a branch was made? I had a hunt for that in faq's/doc's but all I could find was a post where someone said you couln't get the date back for when a branch was made! OhNo! another stumbling block? Thanks ALOT for this help. much appreciated. later Brian Sharpe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Poynor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Brian Sharpe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 1:40 PM Subject: Re: Backtracking on Branch?
