I guess I could always go by date. And yes, -d is picky, too; you can't export into your working directory. Still, not bad... It doesn't address the entire problem I mentioned before, because I still want to do diffs between local revisions and the repository. This thread is just a subthread of the original thread in which I guess we're talking about how to do a 'cvs update' without a copy of the repository. (Sorry Giorgos, your idea actually works for updates, just not for the original question I was asking. I was confused. ENOSLEEP.)
