Hello, I'm new to a company using CVS, though I've experience of using SCCS and RCS in the past. I'm currently reading through the CVS book (K Fogel 2000) and I need a bit of help.
I need to work out the set of branches within a given project, and the latest "version" expressed by the latest TAG for each branch within a project. From what I've read there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to do this, which is puzzling given knowing what code you've got is normally a given, or at least essential. I'm not adverse to shell scripting. Any script snippets would be warmly received. We are running CVS on a Sun Sparc 4 paltform with the Korn and Bash shells. Basically, I need to find out what branches we've got and what the latest "version" of each branch happens to be, and I'm not sure where to start. I'm thinking of writing a shell script that interrogates either the base repository files direct or uses an elegant combination of cvs commands and their output. Again, any help will be greatly appreciated. Please help as currently I'm a bit stumped for ideas.
