Hi, as I am on a slow dial-up connection charged by the minute, I have become interested in using anonymous CVS to get diffs to the source code for a number of projects. I have found out that apparently this can be done with the rdiff command. What I have not yet figured out is how to find out which tags exist.
One idea I had was to get the status for the file ChangeLog which probably exists in most repositories. But either I have done something wrong or what I think is more likely is that "status -v ChangeLog" will not work unless I have a local working directory of CVS project files which I do not. Next thing I tried was the history command and I think, this is probably the right one. But issuing a "history -T" or "history -x T" returns "No records selected". How can I get the necessary information of which tags are available? Just to prevent misunderstandings, I have used for example "cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/jgloss history -T jgloss" not just above cvs commands. TIA. Oh, while I am with the experts ;-), just another question. Is it possible to make a fully working CVS working directory and thus save the download for a complete initial checkout by importing a source tarball in a certain fashion? I guess this is not the case but wanted to ask nonetheless.
