Sorry for the basic question but I need to implement a new branch naming scheme & want to make sure I am doing this correctly.
To start this process, I need to rename several existing branches.
Would this work for each branch to be renamed?: cvs rtag -b -r <original_branch_name> <new_branch_name> <module> cvs rtag -d <original_branch_name>
I am aware of the -B argument to rtag. But, the version of cvs that we use is so old (1.11.1p1) that it pre-dates that argument.
That will probably get you where you want to be, although it doesn't really do what your stated goal is (to rename the branch). It will create a new branch and delete the old branch. The effect will be the same, but be aware that you will be branching off a branch. Suppose, for example, that the tip revision for a particular file on original_branch_name is 1.2.2.2:
Before branch add and delete:
1.1 --- 1.2 --- ...
\
+ --- 1.2.2.1 --- 1.2.2.2after branch add and delete:
1.1---1.2--- ...
\
+---1.2.2.1---1.2.2.2---X <--old branch (effectively dead)
\
+ ---1.2.2.2.2.1 <-- new branch'cvs co -r new_branch_name' will retrieve the correct branch.
