This is option (a), and it really is the safest way to do it.

You can use the 'cvs admin -m' command to change the log entry for the incorrectly checked-in versions. > So... is there a way to say, remove rev 1.4 so the latest is > now gain 1.3? > And the cvs log will not show that a 1.4 ever was there? 'cvs admin -o 1.4 filename' will do it. Be VERY CAREFUL with this command - read the manual carefully (http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.7/cvs_16.html#SEC119), and test your commands in a non-critical area of the repository. This command is very dangerous, which is why it's better to just leave the accidental check-ins as they are, and just go with option (a) above. BTW, if you're not a CVS admin, you will probably have no choice but to use option (a). -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
