Importing the second (or third, or fourth, etc.) time is exactly like importing the first time except that you specify a different release tag. You should specify exactly the same repository directory and vendor tag as the first time, and you should import from a new directory, not a CVS working directory. -Larry Jones This sounds suspiciously like one of Dad's plots to build my character. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
