I was having a similar experience, well over 300 directories, and we apply tags daily (non branching at least). We are running local mode on NT. We recently 're-org'd the repository, by doing a checkout of the end of the old project, and importing that as an entirely new top-level. It worked gr

I think that it would be better to use RCS in that case. By default CVS does not require a lock to modify a file, therefore developers would be able to do changes to the same file and some work by be lost. With RCS, by default, you have to do a check-out to be able to work on a file. Wit

Howdy -- What about the CVS repository itself? Our repository has grown into quite the bohemoth in the last few years. It's 150 some directories, making up almost 2 millions lines of code. There are at least 17 live branches. Some files have, literally, thousands of versions. How much of a s

Hi Joerg, The the standard version of cvs available from cvshome.org, the -D switch only applies to the mainline and will not work with a branch. If you need/want a version of cvs that lets -D work with branches, then you may wish to checkout a copy of the FreeBSD version of cvs which has been e

I've a new CVS user but an old hand at DEC's CMS code management system. The latter was very good about allowing multiple people in one area. CVS isn't so strong there. I think it is because old-tyme Unix hacks tended to be lone programmers working on smaller projects and therefore didn't need

Hi, I'm trying to tag by date on a branch, but so far I did manage to get it right. I'm using 1.10.7. What I've tried is - rtag with -r and -D on which cvs complains they are mutually exclusive - tag -D on a checked-out copy of that branch. It tagged the main trunk instead - tag -r -D on
