Hi,
I'm trying to write a little CVS client in perl, for the purposes of retrieving files
from a cvs repository, but am coming a little unstuck.
What I would like to do is simply retrieve a particular version of a file from the
server, either the latest one, a tagged version, or a particular version.
I have got as far as checking out a complete directory ( for the time being to keep it
simple is am not using modules )
(auth stuff)
1] UseUnchanged
2 ]Root /path/to/repository
3] Valid-responses ok error Checked-in M E Valid-requests Updated Merged Removed
4] valid-requests
(get response)
5] Argument -N
6] Argument path/to/files
7] Directory .
8] /path/to/repository
9] co
This will return all the files in the directory in (8).
If i give a particular filename in (8), then that file is returned, but always the
latest version of the file. How can I get it to give me a tagged version.
Even if i add an Entry /Filename/1.100/// between 8 and 9, I still get the latest
version..
Any help _much_ appreciated.
If this works and is any good... I'm hoping to get permission to put the module in
CPAN....
Cheers
James
