>That's not a loss, nothing is lost -- that a stupid illogical complaint. And not only do you lose the ability to get a file's entire version history with a single "cvs log", you also have added to a file's revision history all of the unwanted stuff from a previous incarnation that was renamed away. Defending the ambiguity of the histories of logically different files that happen to share a path at one time or another, and the fragmentation of a file's entire version history is nonsensical. >--- End of forwarded message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
