If the requirement is to be able to commit large binary files regardless of the method used to store them, then there may be a tweak to the CVS configuration available. If the requirement really is to disable version history, then you're out of luck for the moment. With regard to the

there is no api. Cvs client server works via STDIN/STDOUT redirection. This is why you need to have cvs run by inetd. Inetd provides the hookup of the pipes between STDIN/STDOUT and the sockets Figure out what you want to do and fork/exec the apropriate cvs command. donald On Wed, Mar

Greetings! Our developers will tag their code for builds under test, and when problems are fixed, they will move the current tag until the product is shipped and the tag is frozen. Occasionally, someone makes the mistake of moving the branch tag instead of one of the branch's static tags.
