Try using the 'export' command.  The idea, I think,  is that with a checkout you
might be temped
to modify the code thus invalidating the Name keyword, whereas with an export it
is explicit that
you should not furthur modify the code.

Hi there !

I would like to use the $Name$ Keyword in my java source. To do this, I added
the line:

public final static String cvsRelease = new String("$Name$");

to my source. Then, I tagged it "prerelease-1_0". To get the substitution, I
executed

cvs -d  ":pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvsroot" checkout -r
prerelease-1_0 UserAccount

but the line just expanded to

public final static String cvsRelease = new String("$Name:  $");

I thought, there should stand "$Name: prerelease-1_0$" ??? Other tags
($id$...) work just fine.

The log says, the tag is there:

address@hidden: > cvs -d  ":pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvsroot"
log UserAccount/src/com/somewhere/frames/AboutBox.java

I dont' know what to do. I had the same problem at home and ignored it after
a while, but here at work it is urgent...

Many thanks in advance,
