Branch the entire repository and stop using -f. Branches are cheap, particularly if you never commit anything on them. And by branching everything, you can branch wherever you want to get particular revisions of certain files (e.g., at a particular tag). -Larry Jones I told her to expect you to deny everything. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
