Hi All, I can't believe I cannot find this anywhere on the net. I feel stupid for asking it but here goes: I want to create a .zip file that contains all the files that have changed between two tags (say between tag "A" oldest to tag "B" newest) on a branch in CVS. So, I would like to create a folder structure that contained ONLY the changed files between these two tags. Then, I could zip this folder structure up that included only the changed files, give it to someone, they could un-zip this on top of their older release copy of the code (for example, a release copy released at tag "A") and be up to tag "B". I can't find any way to do this in CVS. All I can find is a lot of references to .patch files that indicate what exact changes are in the files. That's great but what do I do with that? I can't find anything that explains what use a .patch file is.
Is there any way to call a checkout of just the changed files between two tags? Can CVS checkout a folder structure that contains just the files that have changed between two tags? What good is a .patch file anyway? What would I do with it? Thanks,
