Multi-branch modules possible?

2004-03-17 Thread Dennis Jones
Along the lines of Andy Jones' "Tagging across branches" thread posted earlier today, I have a similar question. There have been many occasions in which I have wished it were possible to have a module where some directories were on one branch, and some directories were on another (and so on). I k

How to run :gserver: nonroot -- still works for cvs 1.12.6?

Brandon Craig Rhodes' msg "How to run :gserver: nonroot", dated 03Jul2002, closely describes our current situation: a brand new repository, with only gssapi access, and no cvs user accounts on the respository. To recap, we envision the repository server having only 2 user:group accounts: cvsad

I think you want the command 'cvs export' for the given tag. This does not give you the CVS directories in the source tree. Stuff like $Id$ and $Log$ tags will remain in the sources though - it's not clear if this is what you're referring too. Other than that, I use 'cvs co foo' followed by a 'fin

That would be "cvs export". You have to give it a tag or a date to export, but other than that it's almost the same as "cvs checkout". At 04:53 pm 17/3/04, Thomas Lavergne wrote: >Hi all and sorry if this seems a trivial issue : the faq is of no help. >I would like to checkout a release tagged v
