I believe THE branch name is the tag for the HEAD of a branch... -chris
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alexander Taler Sent: Saturday, May 22, 2004 10:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Special tag name for the tip of a branch Hi All, For LibCVS, I would like to use special named tags for the tip of a branch, for instance `.HEAD.branch_foo' would be a tag on the head of the branch `branch_foo'. Is there any list of reserved special tag names? If not, I could create one, perhaps in the CVS info pages. I believe it's necessary to distinguish branches from tags, and so some functions accept only branch or tag names as arguments. However, in some cases it seems natural to specify the tip of a branch (eg diff -r -r) so I have been accepting branch tags and doing a test and a conversion to a revision. This special case is getting too common, and I'm looking for a way to obviate it. Any advice is appreciated, thanks, Alex -- http://libcvs.cvshome.org/ Access CVS through a library.
