Hi All, I've had a look through the FAQs, etc, and can't find anything about this. It seems like a bug, but please correct me if I've misunderstood: We have branched a subset of our files for a particular version, so do a lot of "cvs up -frBRANCH" commands to get changes. However, this has the side effect of giving all the files which happen to be trunk versions (just picked up by -f) a tag of BRANCH, when no such tag actually exists for that file. This has a number of annoying effects: First up, if I then do an update on a particular file without specifying -fr, cvs does the update properly if it is one of the branched files, but removes it if it's a trunk version. Secondly, if I make a change to one of these files and commit it, this works fine if it's on the branch, but it it's on the trunk I get "up-to-date check failed". I then have to do an update -A on the file just so I can check it in. There could be an argument that cvs is preventing me from making changes to the trunk when I'm technically working on a branch, but isn't the whole point of the -f flag to override this? Anyway, I think that the -f flag should prevent cvs from tagging files that only exist on the trunk with a non-existant branch tag. Thanks, Stephen. _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
