[apologies if this goes out twice - I tried it on my local server but that appeared to fail to propagate, probably because my upstream server doesn't carry the gnu hierarchy]
About a month ago I made a decision to make a major change to one of my library APIs. The change was one I'd been planning for a long time, and it will (when it's finished and working) be a good thing, but at present it doesn't work and my applications won't build on top of it. Unfortunately I neglected to branch the CVS at the time. In the meantime a bug has been detected in the 'stable' version and I need to fix it; and I can foresee that the old stable version is going to need to be maintained for some time. So I badly need to create a branch as it was on the 10th April. What I've done so far is: -[simon]-> cvs co -D2005-04-10 jacquard -[simon]-> cd jacquard -[simon]-> cvs tag -b jacquard-1-10-stable-root -[simon]-> cvs tag -b jacquard-1-10-stable-branch -[simon]-> emacs README # to create an observable change -[simon]-> ant install dist # to ensure I can build a working version -[simon]-> cvs commit -m "start of stable branch" Unfortunately this fails: cvs server: cannot commit with sticky date for file `README' cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first! I am concerned not to make a mess of my repository, or damage current work (tagged jacquard-1-11-0). What must I do to get changes to jacquard-1-10-stable-branch into the repository? _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
