Hi Larry, The key issue here is that Jake wants to put the tag on a branch, based on a date. Simply updating to the date is not sufficient. Besides, rtag can be *much* faster than update + tag, depending on the speed of the network connection.
In 1.11.X versions, does rtag allow the -r and -D options to be used together? If so, which 1.11 versions support that? cvs rtag -r branchname -D "YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM" VERSION_TAGNAME modulename I understand that there is a -r BRANCH:DATE option for rtag in newer 1.12.X versions, is that correct? If so, how would you enter the format for a date such as the one I entered above?
