version 1.1 was real, version 1.2 was the deleted version 1.1, version 1.3 was the resurrected file and version 1.4 was the version after version 1.3. You don't really need or want the text of version 1.2 which will likely be a zero length revision. It is only important for the date of the commit. If you ask for the main trunk with a -D flag using a date-and-time between the time that version 1.1 was created and version 1.2 was committed as a dead revision, you will get version 1.1. If you ask for the main trunk between the time that version 1.2 was committed as dead and the version 1.3 was re-added to the repository, the main trunk will NOT contain that file as it was not present during normal checkouts of your tree in that time frame. Starting from the time that version 1.3 was re-added to the tree thru the time that 1.4 was committed, you would get version 1.3 and from the time of 1.4 thru the present you would get version 1.4. -- Mark > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Fabian Cenedese" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 1:05 PM > Subject: Re: Need help regarding state > > > > > > >what's meant by dead state? > > >how one version goes into dead state? > > > > Dead means removed from the HEAD (but still available for older versions). > > So someone made cvs remove file, cvs commit file. > > > > >how to recover from dead state? > > > > Just re-add it. cvs add file, cvs commit file. > > > > bye Fabi _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
