Issuezilla #175: Add new -F style option that only allows tag to move to newer revision

[Geoffrey Lowney]

I submitted this patch (including tag.c, sanity.sh and cvs.texinfo
patches for my enhancement) back at the start of April, and there has
been no response yet.  Derek suggested I post to bug-cvs@gnu.org with a
link to the issue (the link is below).

 

The enhancement is as follows:

 

I have created an enhancement to the 1.12.6 version of tag.c to support
our automated build process.  The new version adds a -u option (-u is
shorthand for -up).  It is almost identical to -F, except it only allows
tags to be moved to newer revisions.  I'd like to have this enhancement
added to the standard CVS codebase so I don't have to keep implementing
it for each release.
