RE: matching a tag to a branch

Jim,
 
Sorry - you misunderstand me I think.
 
The manual says that -r should work.  If you are saying it's not
working, then it's open source and you can fix it.  Or find a more
recent release where it is working.
 
Note: it's the server that generates tohe log, not the client, so the
server code is what is important here.
 
If it's not working in CVSNT 2.8 (yes it runs on linux servers, and hpux
servers and...)  then you should report it to the technical support team
and they can get it fixed, but I've already tested CVSNT and it works
(at least in my case).
 
Regards,
 
 
Arthur

	Here is a sample of what's returned. I've cut out many of the
entries between " revisions with a zero as the second last character".
The tag was actually applied against DSC_5_0_R1.

			Sorry about the direct reply. You're right about
the zero as

all the branches, not

search for the correct
