Hi all
If I check out an old revision of a file, modify,
and check it back in,
does the revision automatically branch or does it
move to the top of the stack as the latest revision?
e.g.
fileA current revision 1.50
fileA old revision to be modified 1.33.
I would like to check out fileA rev 1.33,
make changes and check it back into CVS.
Would it be checked in as 1.33.1 or 1.51 automatically?
neither.
because you have checked out with a 'sticky tag'[1] of a version, i.e., you did
cvs checkout -r1.33 fileA
CVS will not let you commit any changes to that checkout.
If you want a branch, you need to do a branch tag.
If you want to replace the contents from rev 1.50 with the contents of 1.33
into 1.51, (from the link below[1])
cvs checkout fileA
#then either
cvs checkout -p -r1.33 fileA > fileA
#or IIRC
cvs update -j1.50 -j1.33 fileA
cvs commit
