I have a version of my source with, say, a tag "VERSION1BETA". Now I checked it out, modified a few files, but wanted to branch these off, as version one is still not finished. So I issued `cvs tag -b VERSION2DEV` and committed the files (new files were added)
First problem I ran into is that I wanted to continue to work on the "VERSION1BETA" branch, but when I checked it out using -r, it would not let me commit. So I did an cvs update -j VERSION1BETA (in a dir that had exactly this tag checked out), changed a file (for testing), and commited.
What I have now is:
VERSION1BETA and VERSION2DEV are identical. The current version (plain checkout) contains all changes.This is OK at this point, and I think I need to read up on automatic merging
What I want:
I would like the main trunk not to be the VERSION2DEV branch, but originating from VERSION1BETA directly. Also, I would like them to be distinct until I decide to merge them again. Am I still making sense?
Any help would be really appreciated, or a link to yet-another-branching-tutorial.
Thanks a lot
Alex
