This is the most reasonable thing to do, at least with CVS. cvs update -dP cvs tag my-branch-point cvs tag -b my-branch cvs update -dP -r my-branch cvs commit when things are final, merge the changes back to mainline: cvs get the_project cd the_project cvs update -dP -j my-branch-point -j my-branch ... resolve conflicts if any, test the resulting code ... cvs commit > Or can I create a local ( my own ) CVS repository, make commit(s) to it > and commit at one go to the main branch of the remote repository?

You will need a distributed VC system for this to work flawlessly. -- Sergei. _______________________________________________ info-cvs mailing list info-cvs@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
