Tags are assigned individually to each file; there are some tags that only exist in parts of the tree. You'll see lots of these tags in the /src/contrib tree, for example, as different external releases get merged in. If you simply want to see what global tags are available, running "cvs status -v Makefile" in /usr/src will work. It's important to pick a file that has existed since the tree was created, since any tags laid down before the file was created won't show up (get status on Makefile.inc1 as a comparison). -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
