RE: Tag updations

If you tag your checked out files with TagB then to get the file set to
become 
locked to TagB all you have to do is to do a cvs update and give the tag
name
as the -r parameter. Or enter it into the WinCvs update dialogue...

This will not cause any file to move between you and the server since
you already
have these revisions, the local files are simply marked as no longer
being on HEAD 
and instead they have a sticky tag TagB.

If you want to get your local files to TagA instead then you do the same
type of
update but give the TagA name instead. This time some of your local
files will
change because TagB is a more recent revision of these files. For these
files a 
diff is fetched from the server and applied to the local file to move it
back.
For some files TagA and TagB are the same file revisions so for these
CVS will
just replace the sticky tag value.

Notice:
If you update to a tag like this then you cannot edit the files and
commit them
to the CVS server! Committing changed files is only allowed from file
revisions
that are either the HEAD revision or the tip revision of a branch.

Subject: [cvsgui] Tag updations

Hi friends

I have a doubt with respect to check out of tagged code.Suppose I have
tagged the modules with "Tag A" and after few days I will tag the CVS
with "Tag B"

Is it possible to  check out "Tag B" from CVS on the Same location
where I have Tag A code. Will I get the Tag B version overwritten on Tag
A Version. How does this work. The reason is that I have huge code size
in CVS and It takes lot of time to check out freshly. 

 

 

Best Wishes, 

Shrikanth Achar B
