KM, What version of CVS? What operating system?
> Sorry for bugging you. The guide doesn't really have this > much detail. What guide are you using? The reference manual is a reference - it's designed for people who already know what they are doing. CVS is a large and complex system - noone would administer a clearcase repository without spending tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on training. At least buy some books about CVS from Amazon (or whoever) - there are hundreds including 'all about cvs' which I had a hand in writing. > 1. Can I see when or what date a branch was created? If you are using CVSNT 2.x and have audit enabled, yes. CVSNT is NoT CVS though - so contact the vendor for support. If you are using CVS 1.x or CVSNT 2.x and have 'history' enabled, yes - use 'cvs history'. > 2. can I use the name of the branch as a start point and a > new tag as the end point to see the changes or is that the > same thing. The branch-name refers to the end (HEAD) of the branch not the beginning of the branch. > > how can I see what has already been merged, or can't I? If you are using CVSNT 2.x - yes - the mergepoints will tell you what has already been merged. Subsequent mergepoint merges automatically only merge the changes since the previous merge.
