Re: What is the best way to checkout by tag

Oh and i forgot to mention that when i ran the second command, i get the
following msg/warning for everyfile that was not checked out (i.e. removed
from the current folder)

cvs checkout: `/u/myapp/sql/submitPage.sql' is no longer in the repository

Thanks
