Re: get fresh copy without doing merge

[eagle . liu [劉振]]

Hi Jim,
        Thanks for your help.
        Seems I did not describe my question clearly.  It would be better to have an example.
        Suppose I have a branch named "REL".  In the main trunk, there have five files, a, b, c, d, e.
file a, b, c are tagged by "cr01-1".  First I need to copy the tagged version of a, b, c to branch REL.
Then after some modifications, file a, d and e are ready to be copied to the branch.  This time file a,
d and e in the main trunk are tagged by "cr02-1".  Now how do I copy these three tagged files to the
REL branch without removing file b and c in that branch?

BR,
Eagle
