The threads attached to the following might help some: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=Streamed+Lines&submit=Search%21&idxname=info-cvs&max=20&result=normal&sort=score Most people end up suggesting "Streamed Lines: Branching Patterns for Parallel Software Development": http://www.cmcrossroads.com/bradapp/acme/ http://www.cmcrossroads.com/bradapp/acme/branching/ however you do still need to read the manual https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.17/cvs.html to know how to do those things in CVS. -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
