I am looking for help from someone who knows the RCS file
format quite well. Noel, this probably means you :-)
About a week ago, I had a problem.
In summary, I made changes to a working directory, including
deleting files; I then tried to commit to a branch.
Unfortunately, the deleted files were
There seems to be a problem in branching support with removed files.
Repeat by:
1. Make changes to the local copy, including deleting files.
2. Decide that you want to commit to a branch, not the trunk.
3. 'cvs tag' will not work, nor will 'cvs tag -b' as there are errors to correct
first.
4.
Incidently, does anyone know a good way to recover from this?
Here's a log output of one of the deleted files.

The script isn't doing what you think it's doing.
Fundamentally, I've got a script that swaps out CVS's control files into a holding

More to the point, if the offset is small, the time deamon adjusts the
drift rate. If the offset is large, it takes a lump jump.

What, exactly, are you trying to do? If you want to check out specific

Right now, if I manually remove files from the repository, future
checkouts will be good, but anyone with stuff checked out will get errors
if they try to update.
Right now, if I just do 'cvs rm', then 'update -dP' will fail.

Some build directories got checked into a project by mistake. This

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by magic versus real. I think CVS and RCS
each have their own magic revision numbers used to specify branches. And like I

Magic branches are the cvs tags that you give to the -r options of CVS. Real

However, even if there is no real RCS version entered, there is still a tag
for the (yet to be made) branch, and as long as that tag is there, that's all
the info you need.

You're right. For consistency's sake, "cvs up -C file" should get a clean copy
