CVS maintains information by file, and so it is entirely possible (and usually a problem) to have a tag be a branch tag on one file and a revision tag on another.
You can check this with "cvs stat -v <filename>", which will show you all the tags and whether they are branch or revision. (You can do the same with "cvs log", but it's harder to spot the difference.) To fix this, eliminate the existing "bname" tag, and recreate it as a branch tag. Then check with "cvs stat" to see what the sticky tag is, and "cvs update -r bname <filename>" if it is wrong. -- Now building a CVS reference site at http://www.thornleyware.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
