No, you don't. HEAD is the most recent revision on the *default* branch, which need not be the trunk; it could be a vendor branch. And you should only get the log message for the most recent revision, not all the revisions. A bare "-r" should do the same thing. > But wit cvs log -rHEAD., (with a dot) which should give me the log message > for the last revisions on the trunk, I just get: > cvs server: warning: no branch `HEAD' in `/cvs/module/myfile.c,v' Which is exactly right -- HEAD is a *revision* tag, not a branch tag. Unless you've messed around with the revision numbers, "1" is the branch number of the trunk, so "-r1" should give you all the log messages on the trunk. > I found however that cvs log -r. gives me what I want, bu it's somewhat > cofusing :) As far as I know, that's synonymous with "-r" (and "-rHEAD"), which should be considerably less confusing. > (I'm using cvs 1.11.1p1). You might want to update -- the current stable release is 1.11.6. -Larry Jones The problem with the future is that it keeps turning into the present. -- Hobbes _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
