Hello I am having cvs update a directory with the latest version of a certain file. This is the sequence of event 1)I checkout out a old version of the file(i needed to compile an old build) cvs update -r 1.1 uartsw.c this command worked fine, I got the r1.1 revision 2)I then wanted to revert back to the latest version(r1.4) of the file. So I deleted the file uartsw.c and did cvs update The output was: $cvs update cvs update . cvs update: Updating . M demo.hex cvs update: warning: uartsw.c was lost U uartsw.c
BUT to my suprise the CVS put back that OLD revision(r1.1) of the file that i checked out in step '1' . I expected it to put revision r1.4 (the latest revision) Accdg to the manual: 'cvs update', updates the directory with the most recent commited revision(which in my case is r1.4). But it didnt do that in my case it put the old r1.1. Also just as a sidenote I remember doing cvs checkout -r 1.1 uartsw.c I mistakedly thought this was the way to retrieve an old revision of a file. But then i saw the website and did step 1(cvs update -r 1.1 uartsw.c) instead. Did my cvs checkout command have anything to do with the problem? thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
