use the -f option for cvs update to get the head if the tag is not present. > One thing that makes this difficult is that it seems as though cvs at > sourceforge has a > lag.

Branches are tought so I preferably assign them to directory instead of simple files. Unfortunately, jsbsim files are located in the cvs root folder, not in an src folder. It is easy to create a mess when managing simple files, and this is why I recommend using a visual tool such as WinCVS or its counterpart on Linux or anything else. If I where you, I would tag the whole tree so that I wouldn't have to remember what are files that need to be in the branch and those that are not. cvs do a good job when adding or removing solely in the branch. -Fred _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
