Well, as you might remember, I can't use anything past 1.11. :) (anything past that is broken on Win32). And I can guarantee that noone did this by manually editing the files or using cvs admin. What I think happened (but haven't had time to test) is that they manually specifed a revision on the commit, i.e. cvs -r 1.1.0.2 or whatever).

Out of curiosity, I tried to reproduce this in 1.11.1p1 (I know I've got 1.11.2 installed around here somewhere; now which box is it on again?) I succeeded: RCS file: /u03/home/erics/t/Repos/foo/a,v Working file: a head: 1.1 branch: locks: strict access list: symbolic names: b: 1.1.0.0 keyword substitution: o total revisions: 2; selected revisions: 2 description: ---------------------------- revision 1.1 date: 2002/07/04 16:53:24; author: erics; state: Exp; branches: 1.1.0; *** empty log message *** ---------------------------- revision 1.1.0.1 date: 2002/07/04 16:54:54; author: erics; state: Exp; lines: +1 -1 foo ============================================================================ = But to do it I had to manually edit the ,v file to give tag "b" its bogus revision number 1.1.0.0. I tried to use cvs admin to create a branch with a .0.0 revision number (using a different tag name to avoid a name collision): % cvs admin -nb2:1.1.0.0 a RCS file: /u03/home/erics/t/Repos/foo/a,v cvs [admin aborted]: revision `1.1.0.0' does not exist % That was before I'd made the hand-edit and checked in revision 1.1.0.1. Interestingly enough, when I tried it again afterward, it worked! % cvs admin -nb2:1.1.0.0 a RCS file: /u03/home/erics/t/Repos/foo/a,v done % and symbolic names: b2: 1.1.0.0 b: 1.1.0.0 -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.
