Why? It could have been a redundat tag operation that didn't actually do anything (other than get recorded in the history file), or someone could have been moving the tag -- that's a perfectly normal thing to do. > out of curiosity I did > cvs rdiff -s -r June2002 -r HEAD modulename > and again there were 20 files that had changes. > I started looking at the files and they were modified *BEFORE* the rtag was done. > > Shouldn't the rtag have picked up the new changes? It's impossible to say based on just the history log -- you need to know the exact command the user used. I always recommend against using rtag without specifying a specific revision to tag since you have no way of knowing exactly what you're tagging otherwise. If the user *did* specify a specific revision to tag (either by sepcifying an existing tag or a date), then the changes shouldn't be picked up. -Larry Jones OK, there IS a middle ground, but it's for sissy weasels. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
