To paraphrase your answer: "because". >> The tip of the trunk is what you get when you don't specify *any* revision >> or date Yeah, I know. It's also what you get when you specify HEAD: the tip. >> Use update -A to... Yeah, I know, I've been removing sticky tags with update -A since I was knee high to a grasshopper. My question was deeper than that... [audible ooooo] :) I think it's kind of a moot question at this point so I will retract it. HEAD is what it is. Changing it to be the name of trunk would break scripts from here to eternity.

The tip of the trunk is what you get when you don't specify *any* revision or date. Use update -A to get rid of the sticky HEAD version tag and you'll be able to commit. -Larry Jones Girls are like slugs -- they probably serve some purpose, but it's hard to imagine what. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
