Lee, It looks like your RCP_5_0_1 branch is indeed off of RCP_5_0 tag. If you look at the output from your "status" command (or a "log" command if you were to look at that), notice where it says "branch: 1.103.2" next to the branch name "RCP_5_0_1". The "1.103" in that spot means that the branch is off of the RCP_5_0 tag, which currently points to 1.103.
If you look at RCP_5_0_2, you'll see "1.103..." there too; this is also a branch from the same place. Also note that "RCP_5_0" is indeed a tag, but not a trunk. CVS will allow that tag to be moved to any other revision, if someone were to tell it so. The branch is always off of a specific revision, not tag, so these branches will be off of 1.103, regardless of what happens to the RCP_5_0 tag. For more information on how to interpret those revision numbers, please see http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs_5.html#SEC58. You can change that URL to match the cvs version you have. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of sparkylee Sent: Monday, July 27, 2009 6:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: commiting a sticky file i do have an RCP_5_0_1 branch. i can check out, edit and commit. apparently i do NOT have an RCP_5_0_2 branch. so when i check THAT out, i can't commit changes. status on a typical file shows: []:/cygdrive/c/lees/dev/rcp502/rcp/src/rcp/rus: cvs status -v Rus.java | less =================================================================== File: Rus.java Status: Up-to-date Working revision: 1.103.2.2 Repository revision: 1.103.2.2 /home/cvs/repository/rcp/src/ rcp/rus/Rus.java,v Commit Identifier: O6D7s2oDTzFTDPUt Sticky Tag: RCP_5_0_2 (revision: 1.103.2.2) Sticky Date: (none) Sticky Options: (none) Existing Tags: RCP_5_0_2 (revision: 1.103.2.2) RCP_5_0_1 (branch: 1.103.2) RCP_6_0_CVN (revision: 1.104) RCP_5_0 (revision: 1.103) RCP_4_9_2 (revision: 1.102) RCP_4_9_1 (revision: 1.101) RCP_4_9_0 (revision: 1.100) .... the intention was to branch RCP_5_x off of the RCP_5_0 trunk. i wonder how i can fix this? lee ********************************************************** MLB.com: Where Baseball is Always On
