Ok, if there is a directory in a project that had three files in it and
they were all removed to the attic with cvs rm at different times and you
want to recover all three files (say 3 could be 100+ files in some cases)
but they all have different versions on them. How could you check the
version just before the version that was marked as dead and moved to the
attic? I did manage to recover something that had been tagged, but in this
case many of the files would not be tagged in a version.
Thanks,
Yolan

Directories are never removed in CVS so "recovery" is required. I'm
somewhat confused about your objective. If you want to recover modules
(and of course the content) make sure you have a tagging policy that
works for you. You can then "restore" using a checkout and if necessary
check it back in (after you remove the sticky tags with update -A).
Joining is used to rewind changes to the current branch or trunk one
file at a time. It can also be used to apply changes from one branch to
another. I don't think "recovery" is the intended use since CVS tags do
that for you.

Subject: Recovering from Attic
I'm new to CVS and have what I hope to be a pretty simple question, if
you
can recommend any reading materials on it as well I'd be grateful.
Is there a way to recover an entire directory with all of it's contents
and subdirectories? Right now I know how to recover individual copies of
files with cvs up -j [dead vers] -j [old vers] [filename]. And to
restore
directories with update -d -R [dirname].
Thanks,
Yolan
