Re: checkout a certain revision of a file

[Baurjan Ismagulov]

Hello,

thanks much for your help!

I was able to do what I have wanted both with

~/work/project cd ..
~/work cvs co -r1.3 project/filename

and

~/work/project cvs update -r1.3 filename

I did try co -r before; it was my failure to checkout being in the upper
directory (and consequent error message) that led me to think this
switch can be used only for tagged releases.

Thanks again,
Baurjan.

 Hello,
 
 I've just committed revision 1.9 of a file. Now I want to checkout
 revision 1.3 of that file. How can I do that? I don't have any tagged
 releases.

cvs update -r1.3 filename ?

You don't need a tag if you know the version number. Usually people will
only use version numbers when talking about individual files though.

 
 I browsed cvs(1), info pages, faq-o-matic at cvshome, info-cvs archives,
 and google; I'm still unable to do that :( .
 
 I listed the log for that file and tried to retrieve the file using -D
 option, but timestamps listed in $Id$ lines of the files retrieved do
 not seem to be quite related to what I had requested. I tried to specify
 the timezone (although I committed the files from the same machine), but
 this didn't work for me.
 
 Please excuse me for not giving any details -- I feel frustrated and
 can't produce any useful examples. Please ask if more information is
 needed.
 
 Thanks in advance,
 Baurjan.
