No, it's not. CVS knows, absolutely and for sure, what the base revision of the branch is in each file -- branches wouldn't work if it didn't. But it has no concept of *when* the branch was created; it could be different for each and every file. -- Larry Jones I don't need to do a better job. I need better P.R. on the job I DO. -- Calvin
