Re: cvs log -rtag_at_base_of_branch::tag_on_branch fails

[Veda Larson Palmer]

Thanks, Derek - with your suggestion I was able to get the source and
build it.

Unfortunately, logging between a tag at the base of a branch and a tag
on the branch is still not working in the current development version.
Given the following:

                   v1_0
Trunk---1.1---1.2---1.3-------------------------
                      \             v1_1                v1_2
               branch1 \-1.3.2.1---1.3.2.2---1.3.3.3---1.3.3.4

> cvs log -rv1_0::v1_1 myfile

I would expect this to return the logs for revisions 1.3.2.2 and
1.3.2.1.  Instead, I now get the log for revision 1.3!

This is certainly a change from the output of CVS 1.11.2 (invalid
branch or revision pair v1_0:v1_1), but still not I had in mind... ;)

Thanks,

(P.S. A minor website nit: the current CVS configure script requires
aclocal/automake 1.6 and the CVS downloads page has automake 1.5.)
