hello Do I understand it correctly, your checking out a project from cvs, that has a given tag. and then you would like to delete some files ??
If so I would really like to know what cvs version your using. Because I have a opposite situation. Where I do not want to delete tagged files. But atm im able to . I would really like the message your getting, can you help me ?? Concerning your problem, try using update -A, which removes the stickey tags. but ofcause it will result in your removing files from the main/head branch Kind reguards Henrik S Poulsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Ed Zaron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> skrev i en meddelelse news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Hello Everyone, > > ...
