You are of course correct but I am such a total convert to SVN that everything in CVS looks so antiquated. I use CVS tags in another project but have never have the enthusiasm to understand the command line, in SVN I do everything via the TortiseSVN interface and I assumed TortiseCVS would be the same but it isn't.

If by "labels" you mean "tags", then they aren't useless at all. In fact, I can't imagine using CVS without them. Projects typically tag releases; and ("sticky") tags are how branches work in CVS. Of course they're per-file; everything is per-file in CVS. But you typically tag multiple files at once; and you typically check out files with a particular tag. See "cvs co -r". -- Braden McDaniel e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://endoframe.com> Jabber: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
