Thanks in advanced. Sorry for the crosspost, but I know some of you FreeBSD developers do this all the time. Note the naming scheme ... wink wink. Okay fine, so I couldn't resit the developer like apache cvs tags :)
say I have branches: RELENG_1(stable/prod), RELENG_2(release/qa), HEAD(current/devel) branch point tags: RELENG_1_BP, RELENG_2_BP tags: p6_RELENG_1_0_PRE1, p6_RELENG_1_0_PRE2, RELENG_1_0, RELENG_1_1_PRE1 p6_RELENG_1_1, RELENG_2_0 eventually equivalents for RELENG_3 will be created from HEAD and support for RELENG_1 dropped. now say my respository has 4 files file1.pm file2.pm dir2/file3.pm dir1/file4.pm I change the last 3 on HEAD. Now a week later I want to MFC these changes and only these changes from HEAD to RELENG_2 branch. One of the big problems I have here is say that during the previously mentioned week, I change file1.pm and dir/file4.pm. I only want the initial changes MFC'ed as I have not had a "burn in" period long enough to move the back from the devel branch (HEAD) to our qa branch(RELENG_2). I think I have to add more tags to the tree to do this, but I am not sure. Please don't confuse this with wanting to merge branches into the trunk. That I know how do and it is not what I want. From FreeBSD, theres how we MCF new files. How do we change this to MFC multiples that already exist ? % cd sys/alpha/include % cvs update -rRELENG_4 cvs update: Updating .
