Re: How to checkout only those files belonging to particulat state

[Mahesh Halyal]

Hello Vinod,

one can see the state of the file along with
version number, date, and author on top of each file under
CVS repository. I did edit the file on repository and
checked the "state", this is not the same as what we
get with cvs status command ( i.e, needs-merge, up-to-date etc..).

By default "state" of each file is "Exp", but U can change this
using Admin command to whatever string U like.

I wanted to know, whether it's possible to checkout
files belonging to one particular state. ( say "state=Reviewed" )

But as one friend on this mailing list said it's not possible.

regards,
Mahesh
