How do I check in a revision with the file date instead of the current date (like cvs import -d, only there's no such option for cvs co)? 2. Do any utilities already exist for appending one repo (,v) file to another, or even intelligently merging repo files so that you get a history containing all revisions from both? These issues are coming up a lot as I try to move a lot of projects into CVS without losing what history we have of their development. This tends to involve massive directory searches, file sorts by date, intelligently organized file copying and cvs imports, etc... but an oversight amid all that would be MUCH easier to fix if I could do the above things. -- Doug Lee dgl@dlee.org http://www.dlee.org Bartimaeus Group doug@bartsite.com http://www.bartsite.com "If you refuse to be made straight when you are green, you will not be made straight when you are dry." {African}
