RE: cvs "grouping" feature

[Brouwer, Marcel]

Can you give me some information about the "commit ids" features functionality 
and when it will be released?
I'm also looking for some 'functional' grouping.
We are working with softwarereleases which will be released at a certain point 
in time. And it is not clear 
if al change request will be in it. (Some not finished jet, not passed 
acceptance test,or QC)
But also to propagate some change requests from development to test before the 
complete release will 
be.

Regards,
Marcel

Excuse me.  Mark Baushke pointed out to me that commitids are currently
being created by 1.12.12 but that they can not yet be accessed as tags. 
Frank Hemer did much of the necessary work already but it is still stuck
on the `newtags' branch and not on the trunk.

Regards,

Derek
