The reason it's not always accurate is that it was never intended to be a complete list of all the tags. It's just a cache of recently referenced tags that were found to be valid -- CVS will assume any tag listed there to be valid rather than scanning the repository files to find out for sure. -Larry Jones I think my cerebellum just fused. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Euan Guttridge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Is it possible to retrieve a list of branches in a repository? Possible? Sure. Easy? Well, you need to do a 'cvs log' on your repository and post-process it to get just the branch names. If you want to hack a script that already does most of the job for you, you could probably start with a copy of something like the cvs2cl.pl perl script written by Karl Fogel. It allows you to post-process the 'cvs log' ourput of your repository and include the branches that it finds.

Post-processing the output of "cvs stat -v" is about the size of it.

Is it possible to retrieve a list of branches in a repository? Thanks, Euan ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
