Actually, 'cvs export' does the opposite of what I want to do. But thank you for mentioning it, because it's a good way to explain what I'm trying to do, so people don't keep assuming that my problem is not knowing how to use CVS. 'cvs checkout': create a copy of the sources AND CVS's administrative directories 'cvs export': just create a copy of the sources What I want to do: just create the administrative directories I'm aware that making CVS magically discover what version I have is a bit much to ask for, so I'm willing to tell it what tag to use. Unfortunately, I don't think the facility I want exists, but I'm going to try to implement a workaround when I have a moment.
