The approach is reasonable, but long-standing active branches are not where CVS does a very good job. The longer the branch is the slower the checkout/update on the branch will be. Provided you are working with Linux kernel, this may hurt you very quickly. For better ways refer to other responses you've got. -- Sergei. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
