CVS does not like it when you rename files. This is one of it's weaknesses. In this case I don't see why you want to do this though. You can check out different versions of the files from CVS, no need to explicitly start renaming them.

After you have read > the whole page, if you still have questions, feel free to ask them ;=) Uh no, you must think I did not read the manual. In fact, I had read the manual a few times but could not get answer from there. >From what I understand, the manual is only good for check out the recently checked in file. What I want is one a file is checked in, I want to check out the file and append the filename with a revision #. For example, if five developers check in five different copied of abc.c at very short delay. I expect to check out abc.c file and rename them as abc.c.1, abc.c.2, abc.c.3, abc.c.4 and abc.c.5 respectively in a particular directory. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
