I definitely do an export based on tag for releases, but for development I go with the first style as well. CVS can easily accomodate the second style, using the "-C" flag to "cvs update", I suppose. That'll backup any modified files the same as if you had a conflict, so it helps to avoid accidents. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
