Re: How to increment the left most revision number?

Hello Rebecca,
 
Thank you for your quick response.
 
I am sorry if my initial post was not clear.... The branch is made...
symbolic name tag included.  all is good...
(I did just about exactly what the doc link you provided shows.)
 
My question pertains to the NEXT revision on the trunk.... I want the next
revision (on the main trunk) of ALL files to be 2.1.
 
I use CVSNT  (TCVS 1.10.7; CVSNT 2.5.03 Bld2382). I am unaware of what
"straight CVS" is. (it has been a while, but if I am remembering correctly,
when one downloads Tortoise, one gets a corresponding CVSNT.)
 
And, Yes I am the administrator.
 
Thanks,
 
Gordie

Hi Gordie,

You don't get to choose revision numbers on the new branch.   And TCVS is
just a client, you know, so it is your cvs server that defines how branches
are to be made.  Are you using straight CVS for your server/repository or
CVSNT?  I don't recall if CVSNT does anything different from straight CVS,
but I believe the branching commands are the same.  Are you one of the CVS
administrators?     At any rate, your TCVS client will have a branch option
and you can use that to create your branch.   Often what people do, is use
the branch for maintenance/support and the trunk/tip will be your new
product development.   Also what it is often useful is to create a 'fixed'
tag with a symbolic name first to reflect the start point of your new
branch.  You might call it, "branchname_start", basing that on the latest
revisions of what you have currently checked in.   That would not be a
branch, just one of the symbolic tags you are used to creating.   Then to
create your branch, choose the option to base it off of the symbolic tag
name you just created.     More info on creating branches in the online cvs
documentation:

Subject: [TortoiseCVS] How to increment the left most revision number?

 

 I have been using TCVS for some time. At this point I have files at many
different revisions... but they All have revision numbers of 1.something.

 

Over the years I have made several "releases" using symbolic tags...  all
good..

 

 

For many reasons the time has come to actually branch virtually ALL of the
files. I expect this branch to last for quite some time.

 

I want to make the next revision on the main branch be revision
2.something...

 

All the documentation I have been able to find talks about revisions 1.x and
2.x and 3.x, etc. but none ever explains how to do it.

 

I have not found any where in the TCVS documentation or the interface to
accomplish this. (TCVS 1.10.7; CVSNT 2.5.03 Bld2382)

 

I have found articles (online) that talk about doing a:  cvs commit  -f -r
x.x files  but the version of cvsnt I have does not accept such a command.

 

How can I do this?

 

 

As usual, all suggestions accepted,

 

Gordie
