Hi,

I must be stupid, I'm using v1.12 and I can't seem to use TortoiseCVS to
export a directory from a specific date.

I choose "CVS checkout" (right click), select a specific date under the
Revision tab ("Files at certain time"), and on the options tab, for "Purpose
of checkout" I select "Export - for making a software release"

What I get is this:

*No tag specified for Export, using HEAD

In C:\blah: "C:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe" -q export -r HEAD -D "19 Mar
2010" -d testdir
dir1/dir2*

I think it's the *-r HEAD* that is being unnecessarily injected by
TortoiseCVS..  seems like only the -D date should matter.

It seems to be the EXACT  same problem that was found & fixed way back in
2002?

What the heck am I doing wrong?

THANKS for the help!

P.S.  If it matters, I want to do this for 2 different dates, and compare
the contents in a 3rd-party diff tool.
