Hi, I made a minor goof up during one of my WinCVS sessions. I wanted to retrieve the trunk of one particular file from the repository. But, unfortunately, WinCVS checked out that particular revision for ALL my files. So that left me with less than the number of files I had originally. No biggy. I went and deleted the working directory and did a brand new check-out.
It didn't come out as I had planned as the checkout didn't checkout the particular versions from the branches that I was editing. But if I specify a branch, WinCVS removes the rest of the files from the working directory. How do I check out the branch revisions of some files while checking out the main trunk of other files during a checkout of the whole repository? While I'm on the topic of branches, I took a look at the graph of some of my files and noticed(not surprisingly) that I had branched the files and made the modifications within the branches. So right now, I have a few files with a short main trunk and a long branch. Under this circumstance, should I just flatten the system so that it's just one main trunk? Do I just merge the branch with the main trunk? In the help file, there was the assumption that I continued adding code to the main trunk(which isn't the case here), so I don't know if the same merge command would apply since the main-trunk merge point (in my case) is the branch-point(where it branches out) as well. I don't want to screw up my repository that much, so I'll wait for any clarifications in this matter. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
