Meta-CVS contains logic for branch management. When you create a branch, it adds the necessary tags to keep track of the branch point. You can merge from a branch to any branch; it uses a separate set of tags to track the merges for each source-target combination. This is useful, for instance, if a branch contains the development for some feature that is of interest on some other branches. The user does not have to be aware of any tags, just execute commands that reflect high level branching and merging use cases. -- Meta-CVS: the working replacement for CVS that has been stable for two years. It versions the directory structure, symbolic links and execute permissions. It figures out renaming on import. Plus it babysits the kids and does light housekeeping! http://freshmeat.net/projects/mcvs _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
