CVS and lazy branching

2002-09-30 Thread Johnson, Susan
I am wondering if CVS has the concept of lazy branching, i.e. branching only on a per-need basis. Say I have a directory tree corresponding to a module with 50 files in it and I only want to branch 5 files. Can this be done, or do I have to branch the entire module? Thanks. Susan

You can't do it with CVS alone. The output of cvs log can be parsed and reformatted into a better report, but doing so is not foolproof due to the way the rlog formats its output. (User comments can look like the syntax RCS uses to identify versions.) Take a look at the rinfo and lmerge
