But how can i simply undo the changes locally, without concerning about version? meena ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
RE: cannot checkout new tag
One thing that might be helpful is to use CVS with the -t (trace), flag. This causes CVS to be really verbose as to what it is doing, and my help you find out where the holdup is. Example: cvs -t co -r tag-name external src svrcfg -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil Watson Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 11:14 AM To: info-cvs@gnu.org Subject: cannot checkout new tag Some developers have noticed a bug that we cannot seem to isolate. If code is checked in using a new tag, that tag cannot be checked out on the first attempt. When the first checkout is attempted the cvs client is unresponsive. This does not matter how long we wait until attempting the first checkout. The second checkout works as expected. example: Check out some code without tag. - cvs co external src svrcfg Check in code with a tag. - cvs tag -r tag-name external src svrcfg Check out the tagged code. - cvs co -r tag-name external src svrcfg Our cvs server is a Redhat 9 installation using cvs-1.11.2-10 I built a test server using the same software but was not able to reproduce this error.

RE: Off Topic but About Code managment
Daniel, Some things you might find useful in your quest: Branching Patterns for Parallel Software Development [http://www.cmcrossroads.com/bradapp/acme/branching/] Software Release Methodology [ISBN 0136365647] The latter source goes over some of the basic of source control management such as: recommended polocies for branching, braching vs productivity, product vs project tagging. However, this is just one chapter out of the book, so don't expect too deep a discussion here. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sparky Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 2:40 AM To: info-cvs@gnu.org Subject: Off Topic but About Code managment Hello, I have monitored this list on and off for about 6 years and have never written to it. I am in, for the first time, in the spot where I must manage the code repository rather than just use CVS as an end user. What I have is not a CVS specific question per se, but CVS is the software I am most failure with. What I am looking for is some body of articles, books or what ever I can get my hands on that will help me understand the Why (not on a pedestrian level) of code management, the 'gott-chas' of various choices, all of which all are more than likely valid choices with their own set of 'gott-chas'. I guess what I am after is more management of code rather than CVS. What are the questions I need to answer in order to effectively and reasonably manage a code base without shooting off my toes? (Or at least choosing which toes I am willing to lose if I must. ;-) That being the case this seemed to be a reasonable place to ask my first question. 1) Books? 2) Articles? 3) Newsgroups? 4) Old publications?

RE: making cvs repository online using IIS
You may also want to consider CVS for IIS.

RE: cvs module checkout problem
Marylou, Unfortunately, there is no CVS move command. If you really need to move the files without using your inefficient method, you have to mess with the RCS files by hand. There are instructions in the cvshome.org FAQ-O-Matic on how to accomplish this. Note that though this is the cvshome.org answer, I suspect that CVSNT has the same restriction. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mary Lou RODRIGUEZ Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 8:43 PM To: info-cvs@gnu.org Subject: Re: cvs module checkout problem Dear All, Any idea on how to move a checked-in file from one WinCVS folder to another?What we currently do is to copy the file and re-check-into the new win CVS folder.
