There was a patch submitted about a month ago on the bug-cvs list, which added special reserved tags, such as .prev, .next and - the one you want - .root The syntax would be (assuming the branch tag is 'branch-tag'): cvs co -r branch-tag.root Unfortunately, the patch looks like it's still on a branch, and has not yet been merged into the main source tree. Until the patch makes it into the feature release, you will have to figure out, for each file, which revision you need to tag. 'cvs status -v | grep tag-name' will give you the branch point of the file. Just drop the last number to get the revision, e.g. if it shows '(branch: 1.3.2)' drop the '.2', so you need to tag rev 1.3. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
