RE: FW: cvs import & checkout -D date_spec

Actually I posted the question for a colleague.  Here is the sequence of
commands he used:

        [1st import]
        cvs import -ko -kb -I! <directory path> <vendor tag> <release tag>
        cvs rtag <branch tag> <directory path>
        cvs checkout -D <date> -r <branch tag> <module>

The rtag command makes the import available only to the branch. The check
outs are fine at this point.

        [2nd import]
        cvs import -ko -kb -I! <directory path> <vendor tag> <release tag'>
        cvs rtag -d <branch tag> <directory path>
        cvs rtag <branch tag> <directory path>
        cvs checkout -D <date> -r <branch tag> <module>

The rtag -d and the subsequent rtag commands are necessary so that checkout
picks out the latest i.e. the 2nd import. And 'cvs checkout' works with
either -D or -r but not together after the 2nd import. (OK, the -D option on
its own is rather pointless as far as we're concerned.)

Hope this is clear.

Thanks

]It would be helpful if you showed us the exact commands you used, the
]results you got, and exactly how that differs from what you expected.
]Also, what versions of CVS you are using ("cvs version" will show both
]the client and server versions).  "Doesn't work" is a bit nebulous.
