Is this feasible at all? I hope my question makes sense... Don't worry about it. Mere mortals like you and I should view branch numbers as opaque magic numbers that only have meaning to the CVS program.
The long branch numbers indicate you have branched from a branch from a branch. I've seen this sometimes when people don't use sticky and branch tags properly. When you are modifying code, always make sure your sticky tag refers to a branch tag, not to a non-branch tag. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
