Re: RE some questions on using cvs to manage a project.

Using tags is a very good idea. However, there are still some problems
hanging around me.

How to use log efficiently? cvs log -rtag would simply list all the
files header in a time, although what i want is the information about
the change on -rtag. For example, if I don't know the project very
well, but I want to trace the progress, I can use "cvs history" to
list tags, which discribe the important points. However, only tags
wouldn't give me too many information about this change, how should I
retrieve the information. Or, is there a regular model for recording a
project.

If the project is branched, how can I list the revision tree of the
project? The cvs manual are quite useful, but I still got confuse on
retrieve information on cvs.

Thank you.
