If this works, you can save yourself some trouble by using cvs admin. It will run the rcs command on all the files for you. However, I suspect that the above command will only make NEWTAG a synonym for the *tip* of branch OLDTAG. If that's true, your only recourse is to edit the ,v files ! Use a sed or perl script.

RE: branch-naming
Matt, cvs tag -b creates a new branch - not an alias. You want to create tags that have the same revisions as the branch tags. You can use rcs commands to do just that. (or cvs admin as Andy pointed out) cvs admin -nNEWTAG:OLDTAG Will create a synonym of OLDTAG, not a new branch.

RE: branch-naming
If you go to the repository and run this : You probably should back up your repository before doing this ... rcs -nNEWTAG:OLDTAG (on every RCS file that contains OLDTAG) then this will create an alias (NEWTAG) for you. ** If cvs chunders for some reason at some later point in time is your risk. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gianni Mariani Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 9:06 AM To: Wim_DAUSY/BE/ALCATEL@ALCATEL; Matt Riechers; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: branch-naming Apart from going to each individual file and creating a tag manually that corresponds to the tag you want, I can't think of any other way.

If you specify a branch tag, you've just created a new branch. If you just want an alias of a tag, you can create a tag on another tag, as above. -Matt ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
