You must mean 'cvs status -v' which shows tag information. > What did I do wrong? Is it something in the setup of my RCS files? You are assuming that CVS ,v files have exactly the same semantics as RCS ,v files due to sharing a common syntax. However, CVS branching is somewhat different from RCS branching. Branch revisions are represented using special numbers that have a .0. component, e.g. if you have 1.4.0.2 and 1.4.0.4, it indicates that two branches are sprouting from version 1.4, branch 1.4.2 and 1.4.4. It looks suspiciously like someone played silly games with RCS revision numbers; I don't think RCS ever generates version numbers containing zeros unless it is told to. > I just copied the ,v files directly to the repository. > > Is there a method to turn a branch tag into a revision tag? You must edit the revision number, since that property is encoded in its structure, as you can see. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
