well this one works but is dangerous so watch out:
cvs admin -o1.1:: file.whatever (deletes revisions in the repository after 1.1)
cvs update -A (deletes revisions locally)
-rohit

No, this doesn't do what I want.  I want CVS to know that 1.1 is the base
revision.  A kludgy way to do what I want is:
cvs up -r 1.1 file
vi CVS/Entries # remove the sticky tag for file

cvs up -p -r 1.1 file.whatever > file.whatever
-rohit


I'd like to retrieve an old revision of a file without getting the sticky tag.
How do I do it?

I've tried:
cvs up -A -r 1.1 file
cvs up -r 1.1 -A file

Thanks,
Noel
