Ok, that should work provided the initial date is set sufficiently late. >Erm. Isn't it such that any checkout done from CVS from the (at the >time) correct repository is the exact thing we're trying to replicate? Nope. Sorry. Because things have been copied and renamed in the repository, a checkout from CVS of an old version might actually give you an incorrect result. Example: If you check out 7.7 from before 2005-10-18, you'll get a file lib/modules/Tools.pmod/Standalone.pmod/test_pike.pike. But that file did not actually exist with that name before 2005-10-18, so the result is wrong. >I do think that everyone's ready for change now, so that will not be >delayed by that long anymore. Great. Then we don't need a 7.9 repository in CVS. ;-)
