Joerg already answered this. But it's a confusing topic, so I'm
sure he won't mind if I give you more of a step-by-step answer.
The first time you check out your tree (from scratch), do this:
cd /usr
cvs co -P -r RELENG_2_2 src
Your whole tree is now at -2.2. Now to switch your sendmail to
the -current version:
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
cvs update -APd
In the future when you want to do updates:
cd /usr/src
cvs update -Pd
Important: Do not specify the "-r", "-D", or "-A" flag. Your
sticky tags are already set up such that your sendmail will be
updated from -current, and the rest of your tree will be updated
from -2.2.
In the future if you decide you want to update your whole tree to
-current:
cd /usr/src
cvs update -APd
Or, if you want to revert your sendmail to the -2.2 version:
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
cvs update -Pd -r RELENG_2_2
The general rules of thumb:
* Only use "cvs checkout" the first time, when you're building the
tree from scratch. After that, always use "cvs update".
* Don't use "-r <branch>" or "-D <date>" or "-A" with "cvs update",
except when you want to _change_ the version/branch that you're
keeping in your tree.
* Always use "-P" with checkout, and "-Pd" with update.
* Be sure to brush after every meal.
Oops, sorry about that last one. Wrong set of rules ...
