RE: change root of branch with new revision in trunk

Dick, can you re-post your messages as plain text, with MIME turned off? My
mail reader converts your message to an attachment within an attachment,
making it very difficult to read and reply to.

 BlankJim,
 
 Sorry about the rtf/mime mails.
 
 I guess that this one is allright?
Yes, that's better, thanks.

 All examples I have seen are merging the trunk with the branch.
 My question is how to update the branch with the trunk.
 
 -  I have a file a.txt revision 1.1
 - I created a branch b which has as root a.txt revision 1.1
 - for a.txt is a revision 1.2 created (the branch has still 
 a.txt 1.1 as
 root revision)
 
 I would like to upgrade the branch b with a.txt revision 1.2
 Since a.txt in the branch is not changed, I would like to 
 change the root of
 branch b to a.txt revision 1.2.
 
 Is this possible?
Sure - it's the same command, you just have to tell CVS the start and end
points:

cvs update -r branch_b
cvs update -j branch_b_root -j HEAD

It's a good idea to always apply two tags when branching - one for the
branch itself, and one to mark the base of the branch. In this example, the
base point is tagged as 'branch_b_root' and the branch is tagged as
'branch_b'.

HTH!

change root of branch with new revision in trunk

2004-08-17 Thread Stins, Dick
Title: Blank




All examples I have seen aremergingthe trunk with the 
branch.
My question is howto update the branch with the trunk.
- I have a file a.txt revision 1.1
- I created a branch b which has as root a.txt revision 1.1 
- for a.txt is a revision 1.2 created (the branch has still a.txt 1.1 as 
root revision)

I would like to upgrade the branch b with a.txt revision 1.2
Since a.txt in the branch is not changed, I would like to change the root 
of branch b to a.txt revision 1.2.

Is this possible?

With best regards,

Dick Stins
