That's why you COPY the files in the repo, cvs rm the old locations (so they still exist on older tags/branches), and do some surgery on the new locations to remove the old tags (though you can't remove branches last I checked, without more serious magic; you could go in and cvs rm on the branches I guess, which is better than nothing, though more work) so they don't start showing up on old release co's. It's nasty, but it works. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
