Re: Rolling back to a previous revision per module

[Rob Helmer]

Hi Nate,


You say "module", do you really mean module or 
do you mean an individual file?

If it is a whole module ( i.e. your top-level
directory ), each file inside a module has it's
own revision. You are better off doing it by
date ( see the -D flag to update in the manual ),
revisions aren't the right way to do this.

If you mean an individual file, here's an easy way 
to pull revision 1.1 of filename.c onto your
working copy ( you would just need to commit
it, making a new revision, 1.6, that is equivalent 
to 1.1 ) :

cvs update -pr 1.1 filename.c > filename.c




HTH,
Rob Helmer
