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

[Robert Bresner]

Howdy --

Instead of mucking with the 'state' of a file, you should 
just tag it.

When a file is "reviewed," tag it as such:
        cvs tag reviewed my_file.c
Now some other user can 
        cvs update -rreviewed my_file.c
and they will get the 'reviewed' version of the file.

And, if you're going to have many versions of the file,
you can be more specific about the tags:
        cvs tag reviewed_10_10_2000 my_file.c
versus
        cvs tag reviewed_10_11_2000 my_file.c

etc.etc.etc.

Read up on tags, and think about them. They're very useful.
