Hello to all.
I would want to ask a question.
I am developer in a project. In the trunk of CVS, I have a tag denominated
rel-1-5-0-1. Later, the trunk has continued evolving. However, I would like to
revert the trunk to that tag, and the changes from that tag until the present
time, to transform them into a branch that leaves of the trunk, from that tag
rel-1-5-0-1.
Can I make this?
Greetings, and thank you ahead of time.
Juanjo.
If I understand you correctly, you tagged your trunk with "rel-1-5-0-1" and
then continued development on trunk. Now you want to make changes to the code
as it existed at the time you created the tag, so you need to branch from that
point. Since you were smart and created a tag, this is very simple to do (if
you had not created a tag, it can still be done, but you would have to create
your branch/tag from a date/time stamp).
Assuming you want to use the name "REL_1_5_0_1" for the branch and your module
name is "MY_PRODUCT", you would do this (I've added extra spaces for clarity):
cvs rtag -b -r rel-1-5-0-1 REL_1_5_0_1 MY_PRODUCT
Basically, that says,
"Create a branch of the 'MY_PRODUCT' module, starting at tag 'rel-1-5-0-1', and
give it the name 'REL_1_5_0_1.'"
The command (cvs rtag) works on the repository directly (not your local
sandbox), so it doesn't matter what the state of your sandbox is, or what
folder you are in when you invoke it. Once complete, you just have to checkout
the branch.
Hope this helps,
- Dennis
