For example, suppose multiple files had been accidentally removed, and had to be restored. For each file, you'd have to manually specify the HEAD revision, and (HEAD-1) revision. It would be nice if we could do something like: cvs up -jHEAD -j(HEAD-1) and CVS would automatically calculate the correct revision numbers for each file. Am I off my rocker, or would this be a useful feature? There are, of course, corner cases to consider - e.g. what if HEAD is 1.1? -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
