Re: Backtracking on Branch? Please Help!

[Brian Sharpe]

Phew....
Its cool now.

All along it was because I had the 
'Get Clean Copy' item checked.

With this checked, I would always get a file 
from the main trunk.  It would seem to ignore
my current branch.

With it off, I could do an update -D "22 mar 2002"
and it would just rollback my code to that date, and keep
on the current branch.

I still can't figure out why "Get Clean Copy" behaved in
this way, but thats another issue.

I'm back on track with my code.

Thanks Brian Poynor + Guys.
later
Brian Sharpe.
