I'm finding a case where there's a '=' in the date field of a line in an
Entries file when I'm doing a cvs tag.
The = is not documented in the Cederqvist as being one of the characters
that should show up in the timestamp field.
I'm running a taginfo script under pserver that parses the Entries
Is there any way to determine from within a taginfo script whether the
tag being added is a branch tag? I'm inclined to say no--no such
information exists in any of the arguments etc. passed to taginfo, in
the ,v file or in the environment.
Cheers,

You could create a rule that says branches are all lowercase and
non-branch tags are all uppercase. Enforcement could be dictated
through a script you write that the users must use to lay tags...

Title: Taginfo question
I've been looking for this myself, and I believe you are correct.
A few weeks ago (in August) one of the OpenAvenue developers posted a patch which provides branch info in taginfo (as well as other information I need in commitinfo, etc.). The patch was for the

Yes, CVS import is recursive.

Another taginfo question (maybe a bug report).
Cederqvist says that the taginfo script is supposed to get five
arguments: tag, action, directory, file and revision.
But when I do a cvs tag -d someTag someFile.txt I get three: tag
("someTag"), action ("del") and directory

An easier way to look at the pserver client/server dialog is to define the
CVS_CLIENT_LOG environment variable with the base file name for the log on
the client. The client will create two files. Everything that the client
sends to the server is logged in filename.in and everything from the

No it doesn't, it says that the taginfo script gets tag, action, and
directory, and that any additional arguments are file/revisions pairs.

Hey Anders,
I have a tool that is capable of performing the
substitution, but I know of
no way to get the (new) revision number before the file is actually
committed.
You could run a 'cvs log thefile.doc' prior to substituting and
comitting the doc. Of course, you have to make sure that

Two options come to mind:

access pserver, but that's awfully silly).
