RE: automated rollback tag

[Arthur Barrett]

Shawn,

TortoiseCVS has a built in CVSNT client - it always works best with
CVSNT.

Please ask on the CVSNT forum:

http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt

Or read the manual (commit id's):
http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/

Basically a commit id can be used anywhere a tag is usually used, just
use the commit id syntax.

Regards,


Arthur
