I would like to take a string of text that exists in a file, that is
under cvs source control, and find out what file version did this
string of text first appear in the file. A command or script to do
this is what I'm looking for.
For example below is a file called foo.cc, as an example I would like
to find out how to go about creating a script that would tell me what
version of foo.cc the string "foobar" first appeared.
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
int foobar()
{
}
I don't use branches in CVS and this might help make the script
simpler. Any ideas much appreciated. Not asking for a script unless
someone has one, just ideas about how to go about creating the
script. What cvs commands would be needed or helpful.
