Exactly.. it doesn't work. I haven't worked out why.. hmmmm isn't there a way to make cvs apply an RCS command to the entire tree? mabe that could be done.. (I think RCS) can actually do it. CVS can actually do it internally becaus the -j option allows it.. the limitation in update is just some stupid artifact. (what I ended up doing BTW is: cvs checkout -r RELENG_2_2 cvs update -D because the tags were sticky it seems to have stayed on the 2.2 branch. julian John Hay wrote: > > > According to Julian Elischer: > > > ok, so I have a branch on the cvs tree > > > (say called RELENG_2_2) > > > and I want to check out that branch as it was on Dec 25 1996. > > > HOW DO I DO THAT? > > > > I'd say: > > > > cvs co -r RELENG_2_2 -D '12/25/96 00:00 PST' src > > > > The tag will be sticky (i.e. will be retained through cvs update). > > -- > > Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: There are no limits -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr > > FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #8: Wed May 7 13:25:41 CEST 1997 > > > > Are you sure about this?
