A collegue was confused when they couldn't "cvs export -r 1.1 file", because the "cvs -H export" output says: -r rev Export revision or tag.
Since a symbolic name is required for "export -r", I propose rewording this text, perhaps as in the attached patch, to decrease confusion. (For the specific instance of single-file "export", the collegue was told to use "cvs update -p -r 1.1 file >exportfile", but the misleading help text is still a bug.) --Ken Pizzini --- checkout.c-orig Tue Jun 27 21:15:25 2000 +++ checkout.c Thu Nov 7 11:14:45 2002 @@ -73,7 +73,7 @@ "\t-l\tLocal directory only, not recursive\n", "\t-R\tProcess directories recursively (default).\n", "\t-n\tDo not run module program (if any).\n", - "\t-r rev\tExport revision or tag.\n", + "\t-r rev\tExport tagged revision.\n", "\t-D date\tExport revisions as of date.\n", "\t-d dir\tExport into dir instead of module name.\n", "\t-k kopt\tUse RCS kopt -k option on checkout.\n", _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
