I have a CVS tree that when checked out to an empty directory using a
branch tag, forces SOME directories in the tree to a non-branch tag. How
can this happen and how do I fix it?
As a simple example, I do:
$ cvs co -r foo_branch tree
(no errors/warnings during checkout)
When I look at the CVS/Tag files for all the dirs in the working copy I
get:
tree/dir1/CVS/Tag: Tfoo_branch
tree/dir2/CVS/Tag: Nfoo_branch
tree/dir3/CVS/Tag: Tfoo_branch
tree/dir3/dir3_1/CVS/Tag: Tfoo_branch
tree/dir3/dir3_2/CVS/Tag: Nfoo_branch
tree/dir4/CVS/Tag: Tfoo_branch
tree/dir4/dir4_1/CVS/Tag: Nfoo_branch
tree/dir4/dir4_1/dir4_1_1/CVS/Tag: Tfoo_branch
tree/dir4/dir4_1/dir4_1_2/CVS/Tag: Tfoo_branch
In other words... while most of the dirs are marked as a branch tag
(Tfoo_branch) 3 of the dirs are marked as a non-branch tag (Nfoo_branch).
If I look at the CVS/Entries file for the 3 dirs where the CVS/Tag file
contains "Nfoo_branch", all the files are marked as "Tfoo_branch".
